For the third weekend in a row we have no net service, and it’s only through the wizardry of nathan that I am here today – really starting to lose patience now!! Anyway enough grumbling. Todays card is very similar to one that we did in my class yesterday, square base which is a little different for me, but I am getting used to working on a bigger surface now. The paper is Kaisercraft Holly Bright – we only have a couple more cards left in this group before we move on to something else – and for this card I used the 12 x 12 sheets, and did a little fussy cutting. I have spent the day in the craft room preparing all my september classes. After tea I will pop back in there and make a few cards for my market boxes, which have been sadly neglected of late.Til tomorrow….

Holly Bright number 5
A square card today, and I covered the base with a dark beige piece of kaisercard – I can’t remember the name of the colour , but it works well with this range of kaisercraft Holly Bright paper. I used a push out and a piecs of patterned paper from the 6″ pad, popped a mistletoe collectable behind, and cut a greeting from the 12 x 12 paper that has 36 different greetings on it( Great value). Some ribbon across the join, and a bow and we are done. Terrific class today, creating with this range of paper,and now I am off to the craft room to sit down and see what happens! Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 4
Hi everyone! We are still working our way through the cards I made with Kaisercraft Holly Bright paper collection, and for this one I used the paper pad for the background and a collectable fvor the sentiment. I fussy cut the flowers, leaves and pine cone from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper. The cardstock on all the cards in this group so far has been Stampin up cardstock. Quick post tonight, as I must head off to cook tea.Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 3
Kaisercraft Holly Bright 12 x12 papers for this one, and also the matching collectables. A little bit of matting, a rhinestone or two, and a chomp out of the corners, and this one is done! Tonight I am going to be thinking about my september classes and my even do a card or two! Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 2
Here is number 2, made with kaisercraft Holly Bright – 6″paper pad, and the 12 x 12 sheet in the same collection that has all the greetings on it. I did a little bit of matting, and added a cream ribbon for this simple card. Another cold night here, so once again it’s just a night in front of the heater and TV! Til tomorrow…..
Holly Bright – christmas 2013
Well, we have the net back – lets hope it’s for more than a couple of days this time! This month Kaisercraft released the first of their christmas papers for this year, and my classes this month have been using this collection. I made a few different ones at home, so I thought I would post a few of them over the next few days.the collection is called Holly Bright, and it’s a very homespun feel of design, with a lovely jewel green colour and a beige that would go well with kraft cardstock. Here i have used papers from the 6″ pad for the background and the scallop edging, and fussy cut some of the flowers from a 12 x 12 piece of paper. There is a whole sheet full of greetings which I have used here, and I also used a tag from the collectables pack.For now I am off to clear my in box which may be full to bursting after so many days! Til tomorrow….
Summer Breeze number 4
Sorry I have been missing for the last few days, but once again we are without the internet – not happy, and would ring to complain but we are without phone lines again! Luckily thanks to the wizardry of nathan I have a small window this morning, but not sure how long it will be before normal service resumes! Todays card is still using Kaisecraft Summer Breeze 6″paper pad and matching collectables. Again I inked around the edges of the collectables in pink ink, and added just a couple of kaisercraft rhinestones. Times up – must go – til tomorrow… maybe…..
Summer Breeze number 3
Kiasercraft Summer Breeze paper pad, and matching collectables were used for this card – and i used a lot of collectables to create a riotous garden of colour! I inked around each piece with pink ink and used foam pads on some of the pieces for different heights. I added some kaisercraft rhinestones, and the sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up. A lovely morning with my ladies this morning, and I have had a nice rest this afternoon, so tonight I will be found in the craft room fulfilling some orders, and playing with some new stuff! til tomorrow….
Summer Breeze number 2
How ironic the title of this post is! As I sit here we are waiting for a huge storm to hit – a severe weather warning has been issued, and it is freezing here at the moment! The paper is Kaisercraft Summer breeze, and for this card I used a piece of 12 x 12 paper for the flowery layer, and a piece of paper from the 6″ pad for the background layer. The butterflies are from the matching collectables, and I used a stampin up sentiment stamp on a die cut piece, also from the 6″ paper pad.I am off now to get my bag prepared for my favourite class tomorrow – looking forward to catching up with my Mature Ladies! Til tomorrow….
Summer Breeze number 1
Wow we are behind a little bit – I made this group of cards some time ago with a new release from Kaisercraft called Summer Breeze. Here I have used some paper from the 6″ paper pad, fussy cut the squares, and added a little bling to the flower images. I cut an extra image of the top flower and popped it on top with some foam pads. Over the last few days I have been experimenting with s0me new markers – Kaisercraft have brought out a range and next time Nathan has the camera out I will take some shots of what I have been up to! Til tomorrow……
