A couple of months ago kaisercraft brought out a new range of baby paper called Pitter Patter. It is gorgeous, and can be used for more than just baby cards, but I started off making a few baby boy cards with with it and this one is the first. I used a piece of patterned paper from the 6″ pad, and some of the matching collectables. I inked all my edges with Stampin up ink – Pool party, and added 2 white ribbon bows. Til tomorrow…..
Another 4 card bonus tonight, to try to catch up with all my christmas cards! Kaisercraft Turtle dove paper pad and matching collectables, with spellbinders Snowflakes 2012 die, and some lace, craftworks candi, ribbon and a drop of kindtglitz! Quick post tonight as it’s shopping night, and I have to organise myself for a lesson tomorrow – so look forward to seeing my ladies. til tomorrow….
Two together for this post! Still with Anna Griffin Camilla collection, and matching die – cuts.The lattice is a die by Cheery Lyn designs, ( number 2) and I added ribbon,magnolia chandelier garland drops,hat pins, perfect pearls and kindy glitz to finish. I got sidetracked today and made a canvas art for my craft room door – will show it when Nathan photos it! Til tomorrow…
After quite a long break, we are back to Kaisercraft The Lake house patterned paper and matching collectables. I can’t delieve how many cards I have made with this range of paper, it has been truly worth the money! I added some grey ribbon , kindyglitz, and platinum perfect pearls. The base cardstock is Stampin Up basic grey. Very quick post tonight, as I have to go out , til tomorrow…..
Yesterday while I was teaching my lesson I discovered that the new Prima collections were in store, so I purchased quite a bit of paper! When I got home I realised that I hadn’t even cut into some of the previous Prima releases, and so today I rectified that! I decided that I couldn’t touch the new stuff until I had at least played with some of the older collections and took out all my Prima Songbird paper ( which only turned out to be 4 sheets – not sure why thats all I bought of this collection – it’s gorgeous – I can only think that by the time I saw it this is all that was left of it) . Anyway I had 4 sheets, One was immediately fussy cut into lots of bits and pieces, which left 3 pieces for backing and matting. I made 11 cards, and that is another collection finished.Over the next couple of days I will show all the cards I made with my 4 sheets, as Nathan was very obliging and photoed them for me this afternoon – a couple of them were still drying! This card was the last one I made and it’s my favourite. I had very little paper left, so dug out my stamps to come up with this one. The bird stamp is stampin up young vermillion ( a favourite), and the leafy background is from the stampin up just believe set. The with love greeting is from stampin up field flowers set. Inks used were stampin up certainly celery,choc chip,baja breeze, and ranger tim holtz antique linen. I added white seam binding,prima flowers,and white perfect pearls to finish. I am on a creative roll now, so am heading back into the craft room to start on another collection. Til tomorrow….
This is the last in this series for a little while because I feel in the need of something frilly, and blingy! Kaisercraft Sears & sons paper and collectables for this one, and I swiped all the edges with my tim holtz weathered wood stamp pad. A bit of string around the top for the bunting, and all stuck onto Stampin Up not quite navy cardstock.I have prepared all my market boxes, and I have a terrible feeling that after Sundays market I will be making more fathers day cards. I thought I had enough, but have already sold quite a few, so next week it’s back to mens cards!I have a village class tonight, and we are making christmas cards, so quite looking forward to that. Til tomorrow….
This is my favourite fathers Day card, so my boys will be giving it to their Dad so that it stays in the house!The cardstock is Stampin Up Not Quite Navy, and the paper and matching collectables are Kaisercraft Sears & sons. I added a little sponged walnut ink to the hat to age it a bit, and cut the letters out using my cricut machine and Songbird cartridge ( the letters were cut at 1 1/2″). I just added googly eyes to finish off my face! I will spend a little time in the craft room tonight doing some orders,but I really have to start thinking about christmas cards.I still have a bit of leftover paper from last year to use before I stock up on all the new releases coming out next month… great excitement…. Til tomorrow..
I can never resist buying new dies for my cuttlebug. I think they are a good investment, and I can always justify a purchase by telling myself I will run a class using them! This card uses two Cheery Lyn Design dies – tropical Flourish and Lattice number 2. The paper I used here is Kaisercraft The Lake House and a matching collectable inked around the edge with spun sugar distress ink. I just added a ribbon bow to finish.I still have a few cards made using this paper that I haven’t shown yet – this is number 10 -I certainly have got my moneys worth out of this paper!I will spend a little time in the craft room tonight – I have an idea for another Fathers day card then I am ready to move on! Til tomorrow….
