This is another card in a box, but for some reason we didn’t take a photo of the box so you will have to imagine it!The patterned papers are from the Prima meadow lark range, and the big flower is die cut with my cuttlebug and sizzix tattered florals die. I made a tag pocket so that a gift voucher could be slipped in there, and added some lovely ribbon and bling.My working week is finished so the weekend starts for me now – into the craft room I go …as soon as I have organised some dinner… Til tomorrow….

I wasn’t paying attention but I think this is the last in my Prima Zephyr collection ( until I find the rest of the paper!), and on this card I teamed the paper with the journalling notecards and chipboard pieces.I also used my memory box La Rue flourish die, and stampin up cardstock, ribbon , sentiment stamp and blossom party die. Quick post tonight as it’s grocery shopping night – Til tomorrow….
Stamping fun
Hi, hope everyone is well. We will be jumping about a bit this next week, as I want to clear a few folders before we really start to get serious about Christmas ( and all my great new stuff that I am picking up on the weekend – great excitement!). this is a card I made a little while ago, and I have used a few different stamp companies to get this look! The cardstock is Stampin Up Wisteria Wonder, and Very Vanilla,and the ink used is tim holtz Milled lavender and Shabby shutters. I carefully used both pads on the flower stamp ( from stampin Up Bloomin with Beauty set) and once stamped coloured lightly with the same inks.The background stamp used for the back of the flower was Stampers Anonymous Bitty Grunge Background ( some great stamps in this set – I haven’t played with them enough). I made a mask of the flower, positioned it over the original stamped version and then stamped my background. When the mask is removed the flower appears to be in front of the background. Might have to do a video on that technique…..Anyway, the script stamp at the very back is Stamp It Butterfly script. It is the only script stamp I have so its very well inked.All background stamping is the same lavender ink as the flower.I had a great morning setting up my October class for Paper Flourish, and got a sneaky look at the Kaisercraft Papers for October, we are in for a treat!It was the first time I had been able to craft all week, as it’s been a very busy week, so I had those cards done in no time!I have spent the rest of the day in the card room doing a huge order and I will continue on after tea. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft The Lakehouse number 13
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…..
Prima Songbird number 4
The more I see this paper, the more I like it – tonights card ( using Prima Songbird 12 x 12 sheets) makes use of layering to achieve a different look, and I distressed all my edges and inked them all with a tim holtz antique linen ink pad. a prima flower and leaf and some blingy rhinestones finished the card. Quick post today as I am off to visit the tax man. Hopefully he finds some extra money for me! Til tomorrow….
prima Songbird number 2 ( and 3)
A late post today as I have spent a lovely afternoon over at kays playing with all her crafty stuff ( she’s got some good stuff!)and I have come home in the mood for stamping, so after this I will spend a little while in the craft room digging out my unused stamps looking for new ways to use them. Tonights cards are still my Prima Songbird group, I loved the strips of birds balancing on top of each other,so didn’t alter them to much.The cardstock is a retired stampin up colour, and the sentiments are from various stampin up sets.I distressed all the edges, annd sponged them with Tim Holtz Antique Linen, then just added seam binding, liquid pearls,and prima flowers. Til tomorrow….
The Lake House collection number 8
We are back to kaisercraft Lake House collection, which was their paper release last month, and I have enjoyed coming up with lots of different cards using this paper. For this one I covered the front of some Stampin Up Blushing Bride cardstock, after punching the right hand edge with my martha stewart lace doily edger, and decorated it with a couple of pieces from the matching collectables.Just added a greeting stamp and ribbon bow to finish.Things are coming along nicely in the craft room regarding the boys cards, so now I am thinking of having a rummage and bringing out some older papers to see if I can finish off a collection or two to make room in my shelving system for more new papers which are going to hit the shop shelves soon due to all the gorgeous new releases coming out in America.Til tomorrow….
Lacey Dress card…
I still have a couple of male themed cards to show in my last series, but I have abandoned them for the time being, as i felt in the mood for something really girly! I thoroughly enjoyed making this card, as it fulfills all my crafting enjoyment requirements – a bit of fussy cutting ( the bodice was cut from an image from Stampin Up attic Boutique paper collection) and lots of lace and bling! The background paper is also from Attic Boutique ( stampin Up) and the cardstock is Stampin Up baja breeze. I tied a narrow ribbon and flower around the waist, and the skirt was made from a very wide piece of lace that I picked up from Spotlight.I added Kindyglitz to the bodice.
Kaisercraft Tigerlily number 3
Here is the final card in my Kaisercraft Tigerlily series – I went to town on the whole orange/pink colour scheme on this one! The cardstock is stampin Up Pumpkin Pie, and i found this stretchy ruffled ribbon at spotlight. Quick post today as dinner is burning! Til tomorrow….
