A mix of paper collection and stamping today. The paper collection is Pink Paislee bella Rouge. I only bought a couple of sheets of this paper,( I liked the colour combination of pink and mustard)and I layered it onto my card front. the flowers were fussy cut from the reverse of one of the sheets. The stamp set is Stampin up Create a cupcake, and I stamped my images onto white scrap cardstock and fussy cut them out. the butterfly was also fussy cut from the reverse of the patterned paper. The sentiment stamp came from the create a cupcake set.I taught my last lesson of the year today, a big group of lovely ladies, and a very enjoyable morning it was too!I have had a relaxing afternoon, but now it’s time to organise dinner, so Til tomorrow…..

Secret Garden and Bloom with hope stamps
Still with the stamped cards, and for this card I used two stamps sets, Stampin up bloom with hope and Secret garden. I stamped the greenery straight on to my card base, and stamped the flowers separately onto scrap white card stock, and coloured in with kaiser fusion markers.I then fussy cut them out and stuck onto the card with foam pads of varying thicknesses.The butterfly is a spellbinders die and I used some liquid pearls for a butterfly trail!Til tomorrow….
Stampin up fabulous florets
While we are on stamped cards, I have a couple more to show over the next couple of days . These two were made with Stampin Up fabulous Florets stamp set. I stamped the greenery straight onto my cardstock, and stamped the poppies separately on scrap cardstock, then coloured them with my Kaiserfusion markers, and fussy cut them out. kept these ones very simple – just added a punched butterfly, ribbon bow and some liquid pearls. A lazy day today, with just some experimenting with embossing happening in the craft room this afternoon. Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Sweet Briar rose
In between playing with paper I like to do a bit of stamping and colouring.The stamp I used on these cards is from stampin Up – Sweet Briar rose. I coloured it with Prisma colour pencils, and kept the rest of the cards white. I used a few different dies – spellbinders Opulent ovals,magnolia flourish and Memory box Kaliadescope butterfly. Added a few white pearls to the butterflies, and layered it all on a piece of cardstock embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots folder.Til tomorrow…

graphic 45 12 days of christmas 2014
here we go – the last 4 Christmas cards for this year! This is graphic 45 12 days of Christmas paper collection – it was last years release I think, but I had a bit left over and made these four cards with it. All stampin up cardstock, and mainly all fussy cutting, with the odd ribbon, doily,lace and punched edge and leaves.I taught a class over at rhe retirement village this afternoon, and have been experimenting in the craft room with some fancy folded cards – I would like to do a class with them, but have to perfect this technique myself first!Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas 2
I have so many cards waiting to be shown, but we have to return to Christmas otherwise Christmas will be over! So, for a few days I will flood my blog with all things Christmas, and then we will put them all behind us for another year and move on to all the other paper collections I have been playing with! To start, Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas paper collection, just one tonight because I want to spend a little time explaining how I made this very simple easel card. I made a 14 x14 cm card base with some red cardstock, and just folded the front of the card into the centre fold. thats it – so easy, but the best way to showcase this image which I fussy cut from a 12 x 12 paper from the collection. I did a little more fussy cutting to make the front stoppers, and the holly frame,covered the base with more patterned paper,and added a strip of lace, bow,and kindyglitz.Til tomorrow….
