Echo Park teenagers paper collection, just a bit of layering and fussy cutting and some corner rounding to add a bit of interest. this one was made for my nephews birthday today, but Nathan pointed out when he photographed it that I had stuck the tv on the front of the card upside down! Oh well we all make mistakes,and it will be interesting to see if my nephew notices! Til tomorrow….

Echo Park teenagers number 1
Still on teen boy type cards, but a different paper company – Echo Park teenagers. I only bought 3 sheets of this paper, but managed to make quite a few cards with them.For this one I used the sheet that had quite a few different images on it, and also fussy cut the banners from another square and added them underneath. Found a good use for a lovely big yellow button, and mounted it all on a card base made with some stampin up cardstock!Til tomorrow……
Kaisercraft off the wall number 2
For the second card in my Kaisercraft off the wall series I have used the 6″paper pad, and the frame is from the pack of matching collectables. I have fussy cut various bits from the papers to make a game screen.Today I have come to the realisation that I may have too much paper in my craft room, and it has become a bit of a fire hazard. I am trying to come to terms with the fact that it may be time to cull. I am thinking of making bundles to sell on my craft stall in June.At the moment just thinking aloud,but I think this is the best way to go. We shall see..I hope all of you have had a lovely Christmas break with family and friends. i am back to work tomorrow, so must go abd get myself organised. Til tomorrow…..

Now for todays card… Prima Seashore collection is the paper,and I stamped the top layer with a stampin up boat stamp, and inked around all my edges with some distress ink.The trim is from prima, and I added a button from my collection.Til tomorrow….

The paper collection is a new release from Kaisercraft – Sandy toes, and is full of lovely patterns and cool colours.I inked around all my edges with shades of blue and green distress ink, and added a bit more colour to the panel with the ship on it too.Wound a little linen thread around my main panel, and added a charm to finish.I am off now to finish wrapping some presents, and then I think I am all organised for Christmas! til tomorrow…..
Pink Paislee Bella Rouge and C C Designs stamp
Two very similar cards today,both made with pink paislee bella Rouge paper collection, and stamped with C C Designs Cupcake Birgitta stamp. I coloured the image with Kaiserfusion markers,and added assorted flowers and a ribbon bow. the spellbinders dies I used were Timeless Triangles and opulent Ovals.Such a busy time of the year! No time for crafting so far this weekend, but I am going to go now and sit down with some stamped out images and my bottles of re-inkers and relax in front of the tv and do some colouring so that when I do get back to the craft room I have some images coloured and ready to go!Til tomorrow…..
