Still liking this paper a lot! I have combined the 6″ pad and a sheet or two of 12 x 12 paper to make this card – I didi a bit of fussy cutting out of the 12 x 12 papers,added some lace under the bottom layer and tied a big ribbon bow to finish. I have been in the craft room today making some cards with the new Prima paper I picked up the other day – Anna Marie , but after 6 cards I have packed it away because I also want to cut into the other range I purchase – Delight – its super vintage so I can dig out the ribbon and lace!

porcelain Rose number 14 with acetate…
This card is a little different… although it doesn’t show up too well in the photo the bird on the front is actually swinging on a strip of acetate. I sandwiched the acetate between the card front and the patterned paper. The paper is from the Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose 6″pad and the bird is from the matching collectables.I really liked this effect and will be doing it more often – I can see it working for male themed cards with a plane flying by, or kids cards with balloons or kites …We lots of cards to photo this weekend, but have realised I have been a bit naughty and made all these cards without the inserts, so tonight i will be busy making inserts..sigh…Til tomorrow….

The rose border is from the sticker sheet and the bird image is from the collectables. Stampin Up sentiment stamp, pearls, and ribbon to finish.Til tomorrow…..
Vintage gingham garden
The paper I used on this card is from Stampin up – Gingham garden. Although the colours are quite modern I couldn’t resist giving this one a bit of a vintage twist – by adding ribbon, lace, a flower and a doily which I coloured with my squeezed lemonade distress ink pad. I am quite liking the yelolow/ pink colour combination at the moment1The sentiment is also from stampin up. Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Secret Admirer number 10
While looking through my files to post something tonight I found a card that never made it to my blog when I made this series. The paper collection is Kaisercraft Secret Admirer, and it was a favourite when it was released.I think I still have some left, but always full of good intentions to get back to paper collections , it hasn’t happened yet! I teamed the paper with the matching collectables for this card, and added some ribbon and rhinestone strips and butterflies punched with a Martha Stewart punch. I have been in the craft room in the evenings this week fulfilling some orders, but tonight is T.V. Night! til tomorrow…..
