I gathered all my Kaisercraft christmas papers from christmas’s past.. ( these included Turtle dove,december 25th,Dear Santa, Tis the Season and twig and Berry) and combined them all. Every one who knows me will tell you this was very hard for me as I always keep my collections separate, and never mix and match!I still won’t mix paper companies. It was not too bad, as most of the collections had very similar colours. Anyway,once that was done I went through the paper pads, and fussy cut, and took out border and labels die cuts that I hadn’t used previously and put these in a separate pile. Next I combined all the collectables into one container,and after all that it was very hard to tell the different collections anyway.First I worked on the wider strips that are left behind when I had covered the original cards and the two cards above are the result of that. I added a collectable to both, some words fussy cut from a nother piece of paper, and some craftworks candii in the top corner of the card on the right.More strip makes tomorrow…. Til tomorrow….

stampin up Winter Frost….
More christmas cards made with Stampin Up Winter Frost designer paper.The card on the left uses a stampin up reindeer punch, while on the right I have used the mosaic punch again, but this time punched three, and folded them in half then stuck them together to give that 3d look. I also used my martha stewart lace doily punch, and stampin up ribbons and cardstock. Today I have finished an order, made my sons birthday card and now I am back to a few more christmas cards, but I have an idea for a scrapbook layout buzzing around my head so i am going to do that before it drives me nuts! Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Holly Bright 12 and 13
A bit of everything from the Holly Bright collection on these two cards – the background papers are from the 6″ pad, the greetings from the sheet of 12 x12 paper, and some collectables thrown in. I added some xmas type flowers and ribbon and bling to finish. The cardstock is from stampin up.Today i have been making bright summery cards, when I should be having a last push at the christmas cards, but christmas still seems a bit far away to me for some reason this year – I think it’s because I still have a couple of birthdays before then and I can’t think seriously about christmas until they are past….til tomorrow….
kaisercraft holly bright number 11
Number 11 in my Kaisercraft Holly bright paper series, and here I have used the 12 x 12 papers. the bird is from the collectables, and I just added a little ribbon bow and some kindyglitz to finish. So glad the working week is over for me – I have struggled this week with this coughy coldy thing,and hopefully a couple of days at home will knock it on the head once and for all! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Holly Bright 9 and 10
Todays cards were made with Kaisercraft Holly Bright papers. I made these ones with the idea that you could enclose a gift voucher in them, so the front layer is peeled back and I used my Memory Keepers envelope maker to make a small envelope – I used the smallest size on the board for this.the greetings were cut out from a sheet of matching paper – this sheet is brilliant – it has 36 greeting on it so great value.The cards didn’t need any more in the way of decoration so I just added a little bling.
graphic 45 12 days of christmas 5, 6, 7 and 8
I decided to show these cards together as each pair uses the same images from the 12 x 12 sheet of graphic 45 12 days of christmas papers,but I did something different with each one.I have used some of the matching chipboard pieces from the same range, and added ribbon, bling,and bakers twine as well as a liberal amount of fussy cutting and layering.taught a class toady, and my family are all out tonight putting on a wrestling show so it’s off to the fish and chip shop now for me , then an uninterrupted night of crafting to follow… bliss….. til tomorrow…..

Hi all, sorry I have been missing for the last few days – we have no internet at the moment and apparently it won’t be back until at least tomorrow, but thanks to the wizardry of Nathan I have been able to post this one and hopefully regular service will resume shortly! I didn’t realise how much I relied on the net until now.On to todays card. The paper is Prima Lyric – not made specially for christmas, but I thought the colours worked! A little bit of fussy cutting, bright red ribbon bow and a Stamp It Joyful Christmas stamp and there my first christmas card for the year. Tomorrow, if I am back on line we will move on to something else! Til tomorrow…. hopefully …..

Elegant Bird
Todays card is a Christmas card,using Stampin UP Elegant Bird Die, and some scraps of paper. The glitter paper that I used on the birds wing is from Stampin Up, and I have been thinking and thinking trying to remember where I cut the word peace from, and I think I must have done it on my Cricut machine although if I remember differently I will let you all know!Quick post today, as it’s shopping night – Til tomorrow….
