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…
Kaisercraft tropical Punch 5 and 6
Here are the last two ( for now) cards made with Kaisercraft Tropical Punch.Again I have used the 12 x 12 papers ( so still a whole 6″ pad to use later!)and on the top card matching collectables.Admittedly the bottom card was made with lots of leftover bits on my table!So busy at work just now I haven’t the energy for the craft room, but certainly looking forward to the Christmas break to relax in there! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Tropical Punch 3 and 4
These bright colours certainly make a change from all the shades of red and green we have been working with! Both of todays cards use the 12 x 12 papers from the Tropical Punch collection by kaisercraft, and I also used some collectables from the same collection on the top card. Flowers, ribbon, stampin up greeting stamp and fussy cutting ( on the bottom card) to finish.Til tomorrow……
Kaisercraft tropical Punch 1 and 2
As promised, we have moved on from Christmas and now to catch up on some other cards I have been working on. This collection is Kaisercraft tropical Punch which was released a couple of months ago. I have used the 12 x 12 papers on both cards and made good use of the matching collectables as well. A couple of flowers, and some lovely yellow ribbon, and done!Cardstock is Stampin up.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 3,4,5.
Three more cards made with graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas paper collection. these have all been made with family members in mind, and tonight I must write them all out and get them in the post!No more embellishing other than kindyglitz and a ribbon bow needed with this paper ( and of course some fussy cutting!) 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….
