I cut triangles out of the websters pages Lets celebrate collection, to make the bunting, and fussy cut the paper hats out of another piece of patterned paper to make this festive birthday card. I also used a little liquid pearls. Well finally I got into my craft room today, and did a few xmas cards, and finished organising my next village lesson. I also had an order for a renewal of vows card, so I did that as well, my mojo is back! Til tomorrow…..

Group of three cards
Today I taught a lesson over at Paper Flourish, and as ever had a good time, and some laughs with my group of mature ladies. Last Friday I taught a lesson at the retirement village and the three cards here are the cards we made. We used kraft cardstock, and Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy 6″ paper pad, along with nestabilities Labels eight dies,assorted flowers,ribbon, sentiment stamps, liquid pearls -platinum, and a stampin up bird punch. Well I only got three of my xmas cards made last night as I got distracted (who knew that would happen?) and ended up making quite a few non xmas related cards. I can see its going to be a long journey for the xmas card making! Til tomorrow…..
Latest cuttlebug card
I’ve had quite a few kids cards lately, so I thought I would break it up and post my latest cuttlebug card, as I know a lot of you visit to see what I have been up to with my trusty cuttlebug. Tonights card relies soley on my cuttlebug, I used white and silver cardstock, a butterfly die, and 2 embossing folders – Couture collections – pinstripe and drifting Endless. I just added a little matching ribbon to complete. I have a couple of days off now, so I’m really looking forward to spending some quality time in my craft room.Til tomorrow….
Butterfly garden no.2
This is the second card I made using Pink Paisley butterfly garden papers, and some kaisercraft rhinestones and kindyglitz. I didn’t make any more with this paper, because I used the rest to make my Birthday books, which I will be selling on Sunday at the market. speaking of which I received a phone call today from the market holders to tell me where my site will be this sunday, and if any of you are looking for me I won’t be in my usual spot! I will be at pitch 50, which is down the other end from where I usually am, and in the middle row! We’ll see how I go there. Til tomorrow…..
Birds and Cages!
These are my kind of cards! The paper is gorgeous to work with – Prima Botanical collection, and perfect for backgrounds on cards like these. I used my cricut and the Serenade cartridge to cut the birds and cages in a couple of different sizes, then sponged the cages with Tim Holtz tea dye ink, and stamped the birds with a swirly stamp in versamark ink and brushed on some perfect pearls powder which brought up the swirls a treat! Also used were asorted flowers,leaf punches,lace and ribbon. Great fun! Til tomorrow…..
One for dog lovers!
Tonights card is a little bit different from the more recent posts. I used Docrafts Pampered Pets paper – they also have cats in this pack, lace and stampin up crumbcake cardstock. After a few busy days at work I’m lookoing forward to the next 2 days at home and a bit of cardmaking to unwind! Til tomorrow….
For the Record….
I made this card for my nephews birthday which was last month, so I’m a little behind in showing it, due to all those Mothers day cards. I used Echo Park – For the record collection ( which I haven’t had near enough time to play with, but hopefully now I’ll be able to get to it) and Espresso Stampin up cardstock. I die cut the shapes into the backing paper and tied some twine through them. I’ve got 2 days off now, and really looking forward to resting and cardmaking for the next couple of days. Til tomorrow…..
Graphic 45 Curtain call
I found this paper (graphic 45 Curtain call) while browsing at my craft shop, and I could see straight away that it wouldn’t take much to make some cards out of it. I’ve only used 2 pieces of paper, and some metallic gold and Stampin Up basic black to make these. Today Ive been making Mothers day cards with the new range of kaisercraft papers – Chantreuse, but I’m ready to move on now, and look at my new Prima paper. Til tomorrow…..
