graphic 45 A ladies diary revisited!! numbers 15 and 16

IMG_5151 (Medium)IMG_5163 (Medium)A couple of weeks ago I came across some graphic 45 papers in the craft room, predominately A ladies Diary,but I have mixed it with le romantique, and Baby to Bride.The top card is an easel card ( stampin up cardstock) and all A ladies diary, paper, a chipboard piece, and lace and ribbon. the bottom card has a bit of Le Romantique as the background mat,a stampin up vintage brad, some fussy cutting and lace. I think this is still my favourite paper collection!Life here has been so busy, but the roast lunch is in the oven, and I am off to the craft room to make up an order and create for the rest of the afternoon, just to de-stress!Til tomorrow…..

Graphic 45 artisan style 6 and 7

IMG_5143 (Medium)IMG_5144 (Medium)Well, the computer seems to have righted itself for now and we have 2 cards today. Both made with graphic 45 Artisan style papers, and very little embellishing except on the peacock tails. Lots of fussy cutting, and all mounted on stampin Up cardstock. I taught a lesson this morning with some very lovely ladies, and a nice break to the working week it was! Now I am heading into the craft room where I am working on a few fathers day cards. til tomorrow…..

Graphic 45 Artisan Style 4 and 5

IMG_5128 (Medium)There was going to be 2 cards today, but for some reason the second card wouldn’t upload..I will try it again next time, in the mean time here is this one…I made a DL size card which is a piece of cardstock 21cm x 21cm folded in half. I wanted to fit both peacocks on the card so that was the reasoning behind that decision! I punched a border with an EK success punch, and added some gorgeous satin ribbon ( stampin up) and lots of rhinestones to the peacocks tails.Til tomorrow…..

Graphic 45 Artisan Style 1

IMG_2446 (Medium)This is the card I made for my sister’s recent birthday,( because she loves peacocks) and the first card I made with Graphic 45 Artisan style. A very simple card – just lots of layering and bling! Over the next few days i will show you all what i did with the rest of this paper! glad it’s the weekend, and I am up to date with all my lessons, so Will be able to spend an amount of time in the craft room just creating. til tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft secret garden 11 and 12

IMG_2437 (Medium)IMG_2438 (Medium)we are coming to the end of my secret garden series – only one more after these two I think!Top card – kaisercraft secret garden 6″ pad,collectables and a kaisercraft leaf die, spellbinders happy birthday die,and assorted butterfly dies and punches. For the bottom card I used a piece of 12 x 12 paper – In all kaisercrafts’ ranges now they have a couple of 12 x 12 sheets with what they call card fronts on them. I don’t think I have used one without changing it but that is half the fun! I covered a couple of the words on this one with some lace and ribbon. Some lovely flowers and punched butterflies to finish! started work at 6 am this morning, the good thing about that is finishing early, but I am off now for a bit of a nanna nap!Til tomorrow….

kaisercraft secret garden 9 and 10

IMG_2435 (Medium)IMG_2436 (Medium)Kaisercrat secret garden. The top card has a piece 0f the 6″ pad as the background, and a piece from one of the 12 x 12 card fronts  trimmed down. I used a kaisercraft mannequin die and hand cut a dress from a piece of the 6″ pad.Added a collectable and some sequins to finish this one. For the bottom card – so simple – a piece of the 6″ pad and a collectable is all this one needed!punched butterfly, and sentiment and done. Freezing day here today, far too cold in the craft room,  so after a visit to Mum and dad’s this afternoon, it will be tea in front of the heater and Tv! til tomorrow….

last 2 irresistably yours cards

IMG_2456 (Medium)IMG_2458 (Medium)These two cards were made with the same sheet of Stampin Up irresistably yours cardstock, but look so different. for the top card I sprayed the cardstock with dylusions sprays ( A tip – wait for one colour to dry before spraying the other colour – I learnt that one the hard way and ended up with a mud coloured mess!). then it was just a matter of some die cutting to finish. the bottom card is my first Christmas card for the year! I sponged this one with ink, and added a spellbinders die bauble and some sequins. I headed over to paper flourish today to get some papers for my next few classes, so will be busy this weekend coming up with some new cards and while I was there  also managed to get the new range of graphic 45 gilded lily – it is gorgeous and I can’t wait to make some cards with it – classes first, then some palying. Thats my weekend sorted!Til tomorrow
