Number 7 in my Graphic 45 Couture collection series, and for this one I used a sheet of the 6″ pad for the background paper ( so glad I bought this pad along with the 12 x 12 sheets – it’s all small patterns – perfect for the background layer because as it turns out I fussy cut just about every sheet of the 12 x 12!)and then a collection of fussy cut images from the 12 x 12 papers. I sat over the course of a few evenings watching tv and just fussy cutting, so I have a lovely container of images to delve into already for decorating my cards. I tend to do this now as soon as I bring home any new papers, so that when I get time to create all the hard work is done. Super hot here today, but the rain, thunder and lightening has just started so its going to be very humid shortly.Not nice. I have spent today resting my foot, and it’s back to work for me tomorrow,hopefully all that pain is behind me now. Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 number 6
For this graphic 45 couture collection card I used some of the papers from the 6″ pad for the background layers, and fussy cut a couple of images and flowers from some of the 12 x 12 papers.I was off to the Dr. today who sent me straight off to the x-ray and ultrasound man who proceeded to inject cortisone into my heel, so no crafting today and no walking either – at the moment I can’t even feel my left foot…I wasn’t expecting that when I woke up this morning!~ til tomorrow….

graphic 45 Couture collection 1,2, and 3…
I thought I would ease into this collection with a few simple designs to start. This is a huge group – I was quite prolific with this collection of paper so we might have to break it into 2 or 3 groups, with a little break in between just so boredom doesn’t set in! For these first three, IBecause i had bou used black cardstock for the card bases, and a sheet of 12 x 12 paper for the main images, the background paper is from the matching 6″ pad.from there I just added assorted flowers, lace, ribbon and bling.Because I had bought 3 sheets of the images I used 2 sheets and 3’d the images by fussy cutting some of the elements such as the hat on the lady on the left etc and mounted with sticky foam pads. For now it’s back to the craft room…til tomorrow….

Two cards tonight, and we will do the same tomorrow night to finish off this range – Kaisercraft paradiso collection – still the same 12 x 12 paper, and some collectables added to them. the top card has a seashell that I stamped and fussy cut .

Kaisercraft Paradiso collection number 4
card number 4 using Kaisercraft Paradiso 12 x 12 sheet and a couple of the matching collectables. I made the card base with stampin up cardstock.

Kaisercraft paradiso number 1
As the weather in some parts of Australia is so hot, I thought it only fitting to post some beach cards. Luckily for us here in Adelaide the weather hasn’t been quite so hot, today has been lovely, but all the same I do feel sorry for those suffering the heat. The paper collection featured for the next few days is a release from last month by kaisercraft called Paradiso, and the main images on the cards all came from one of the 12 x 12 sheets. Thrifty crafting at its best because I made 6 cards out of this sheet! All I added here were a couple of buttons and some twine and a few of the matching collectables. The cardstock is some retired stampin up cardstock.This weekend I am working on some baby cards to replenish my market boxes. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Garage days
two cards tonight ( as there were last night – one accidently found its way onto the blog – just one I was mucking around with – trying out some colour combos.. I wasn’t even going to put it up here but it obviously had other ideas!)These two cards both use kaisercraft Garage days paper collection and collectables, and I have used kays ( my sisters’Â stampin Up die to die cut the card shape). The card on top is going to be my husbands birthday card – it’s not til February but when I make cards sometimes the person they belong to jump out at me and I put them aside in a special box.that way i am not racking my brains at the last moment ! til tomorrow….
