Little Darlings 2
Here is number 2 in my Graphic 45 Little darlings series. Have i said how much I like these pastel colours? I used bazzil cardstock, only because stampin Up don’t do a soft apricot cardstock – a shame – and some ribbon, lace and kindyglitz. Today I have gone back to my resolution of actually finishing some of the paper collections I have, and I have dug out a range of Kaisercrafts from last year – English Rose. You know it is quite amazing how many cards you can get out of one 6″ pad. One day I will actually count how many I manage…. Til tomorrow…
Field flowers 3
Here is todays card, still continuing with my new Stampin Up Field flowers stamp set. I did get the idea for this card from a magazine – I thought I have all the papers they used – I can do that, then as I started it totally changed… which is why I very rarely copy ideas!The papers used are Authentique Uncommon, and I stamped my image directly onto the patterned paper with basic black ink. The cardstock is Stampin Up sahara sand and very Vanilla, and I added lace and white liquid pearls – the best invention… Another very hot day here – 37C again ( thats over 100 F for my overseas visitors) and impossible to craft in this heat. The air conditioner has been making horrible noises and we prayed it would make it through the night, which it did, only just, and this morning saw my husband up on the roof changing a fan belt – crisis averted, it’s going like a little beauty now thankfully. I am off to the Market tomorrow, will be hot, but I am looking forward to seeing my regular customers there. Til tomorrow….
Mainly cuttlebug 7
Todays card is one I made, being inspired from a craft magazine, but I didn’t have any of the dies they used so I adapted what I had here. I think it turned out quite well…The list of products used – Prima Sparkling spring papers, sizzix die – tatttered florals, leaves punched with Stampin Up bird punch ( wouldn’t be without that punch!), birdcage – cricut cartridge “Serenade” and lightly inked, spellbinders – Bird sanctuary ( for the birds which I sponged inked for colour) and Twisted metal tags. I hand cut the branch and lightly inked it, and finished with kaisercraft pearls and perfect pearls.Now today I am finishing off and order and then I have 4 new paper collections to play with over the week end so looking forward to a crafty weekend! Til tomorrow…..
Last of the Prima madeline!

Todays card is a birthday card made with Prima Marketings new paper and stickers – Madeline. I also used Kaisercraft pearls, and just fussy cut around the design. Probably no card making tonight as its shopping night! Til tomorrow….
