I’m back, but still a few glitches as you can see, but it’s better than it was!Hopefully by tomorrow all will be restored.Todays cards are still Kaisercraft Curiosity, and we just have a couple more do and then will move on. Both cards use the 6″ paper pad, and the images are from a 12 x 12 paper.the only extras on the card on the right are ribbon and a die cut from berry vine die ( kaisercraft).We had a very warm weekend, and a couple of birthdays in the family to celebrate, but I did get into the craft room for an afternoon and planned out a village lesson.I also squeezed in a visit to Paper Flourish ( I just went for double sided tape and 450 glue) and saw the new Prima papers which i just couldnt resist, so came home with lost of new goodies! til tomorrow….
Today we are back to kaisercraft curiosity paper collection and matching collectables.I was going to leave these for a little while, but I know that Janice ( a lovely lady from America) has scoured the net looking for this collection, and it is on her way to her as we speak, so I thought I would put up a few more ideas for her. These two cards are side stepper cards,( have I done a youtube clip for this style of card?) and I just needed the papers and collectables to decorate, although having said that there is a die cut ( Kaisercraft die) on the top card cut from gold card.It’s a lovely day here and a day off. the shopping is done so i am off to the craft room. Til tomorrow….
This is the last of Kaisercraft Curiosity for a little while. I thought I would finish off with a couple of card in boxes.Most of the images are cut from the 12 x 12 papers and 6″ pad, and there a re a couple of collectables there too, but that’s it – no other embellishing required. The card on the left is earmarked for my dads 84th birthday next week,he loves seeing my creations and will enjoy examining this one to see how I put it together! I didn’t get as much crafting done yesterday as I thought I would, but saw lots of family members over at mum and dads, so it was a most enjoyable day.The weather here is so much better – quite cool and so I have popped a roast in the oven, I have missed my weekly roasts! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft curiosity collection, with a lot of fussy cutting from the 12 x 12 papers and just a ribbon bow for some extra texture. tomorrow will be the final two cards with this collection ( for now, anyway), and they are special card in a box cards.Today is the first day in quite a while that I don’t have any pressing engagements, and it’s lovely to just relax and fritter the time away! I have straightened up my craft desk, things tend to get piled on top of each other on there during the week and then on the weekend I have to spend a little while putting things in their proper place before I can start creating, but that’s done and now I am going to go and contemplate which paper collection I am going to create with today. It’s going to be a lovely day! Til tomorrow….
Today I am revisiting and old favourite – kaisercraft Curiosity collection.I have just used the papers and collectables, a bit of ribbon and a brass key on the lower card. A bit of my favourite – fussy cutting too! I have a lot of this paper so after making some cards with this I popped it back into the shelves, to revisit again another time. I might get it out for some mothers day cards! Til tomorrow…..
For the final couple of cards made with kaisercraft Bonjour (another paper collection done and dusted!) I made Cards in boxes. The butterfly papers in this collection were perfect for this style of card,and I attached them with acetate so they look like they really are fluttering around. A new range of papers tomorrow, til then….
Another 3 cards made with kaisercraft Bonjour paper collection.The top 2 cards are just reliant on the papers and fussy cutting, while the bottom card has some die cutting and bling added to it.It’s been a very busy weekend with no card making for me!But i have finished all outstanding classes, and finished all the paperwork, so I might be able to spend a couple of hours in the craft room to make a start on the Mothers day cards. til tomorrow….
For the next couple of days you will see a last few cards from kaisercraft Bonjour paper collection ( sorry the bottom card is a little blurry – Nathan must have sneezed!).I made a final 1/2 dozen or so before consigning the leftover papers and collectables to the craft fair pile. The top card has some fussy cutting, punched leaves, flowers and a die cut – Couture Creations Albert and Simonnetta, although I dispensed with Albert and just used Simonetta! Love how her name is French – fitted with the theme perfectly! I die cut her first on plain cardstock ( flesh toned) and then again on patterned paper and cut out the bits I wanted. The bottom card is all papers, layers and fussy cutting. I must go and pack my bag – I am off to the retirement village to teach a lesson this afternoon – looking forward to seeing my ladies! Til tomorrow…..
Today we say goodbye to Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy collection. I took it out for a last play, and the leftover papers in this collection have gone into the pile to sort and sell at Junes craft fair. I love the blue card at the top of the post – I used my Stampin Up bird punch, kaisercraft numbers die set,lace and ribbon for this one and the card below has prima flowers,ribbon, lace and bling.Thats another paper collection played with for the last time and culled! Just at least 100 to go!Now is the time for me to start on my Mothers day cards, so i should be able to get through a few collections in the next few weeks. For now though I am off to Paper Flourish to collect some supplies for March lessons. Til tomorrow…..
