Prima Anna Marie number 7

IMG_5861 (Medium)here is a familiar card layout for all of you that follow my blog – it is a favourite of mine. I have used prima Anna Marie paper,chipboard and brad, and rounded all my corners with a corner rounder. The flower is die cut with stampin up sizzix blossom party die, and the flourish is a magnolia dohickey.A simple layered card tonight! I have been in the craft room for a short while this afternoon, stamping out some mens cards,but I really don’t seem to be achieving very much!Oh well – it’s relaxing and that is the main thing! til tomorrow….

Cheers to you stamp set

IMG_5860 (Medium)Still with the stamping theme today, and although I know the paper collection I used is kaisercraft the name eludes me for the moment – it is an earlier release.Cardstock and stamps are by Stampin Up – the set is called cheers to you, and I coloured the images with Kaisercraft markers, and added some sparkle with kindyglitz.I have finished work for the day and so my holidays have officially started . Looking forward to a relaxing bread! til tomorrow….
