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

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

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
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
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

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

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

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
