Basic Grey Serenade number 4
Basic grey serenade 6″pad and sticker sheet – hard to beleive this is the same collection as the few cards previously posted, and i think this one is my favourite. I used a sticker from the matching sticker sheet, and the pleated netting and bling is from websters pages. I just added satin and organza cream ribbon and a couple of flowers to finish. I haven’t been in the craft room in the evenings this week, as I have started new hours at work – early starts, and longer days, so a little tired, but the good news is that I have 3 1/2 days off a week, so much more time for crafting on the weekends!

Kaisercraft pickled pear!

I also used the matching collectables, and a prims canvas bird, which I coloured with a sponge a nd distress inks.The lovely branchy bits is made by stamping a kaisercraft pickled pear stamp onto acetate and cutting out. I will definitely be found in the craft room tonight, so looking forward to it! til tomorrow….
Spellbinders labels seventeen number 3
There are two views of todays card, because the is a bit of work on the inside as well as the outside! I covered the front of the card ( all papers used are Kaisercraft Miss Nelly) and used the spellbinders label seventeen to die cut an aperture. The piece that was cut out was stuck inside on top of some more patterned paper, and I added a couple of butterflies die cut from Cheery Lyn exotic butterfly small #2. just added some bright ribbon and bling to finish.This is a simple card to make but looks really effective, and I must remember to make more like this!

Prima Tea thyme number 5
I can’t remember how many cards I have posted using this paper from prima -Tea Thyme, so we are calling this number 2 and I will check later ( just checked – this is number 5, so have changed things to correct)!I used the matching Prima flowers and hat pins that are also available with this range, and teamed it up with my Tim Holtz sizzix caged bird die.There is a memory box la Rue flourish there as well, and some kaisercraft pearls and seam binding. I made a matching box to put this one in, and it wouldn’t fit in an envelope! behind the cage is a tag pocket to slip a gift voucher in to. Today I am busy making male themed cards with a sea side theme as it’s that time of year here in Australia! Til tomorrow…
