A new range today – kaisercraft Blubelle, here some of the 6″ pad, a piece from a 12 x 12 paper and the matching collectables.Totally different colours to the last range I was showing – but that is what makes card making fun! always different! I have been playing with some new tools today, the new we are memory keeper flower punch board in particaular,The flowers it makes are rather big, and probably not too good for cards, but i have a lovely vase of paper flowers sitting on the dining table now!

Kaisercraft velvet crush number 13
Today I thought I would show a card I made for our card club challenge. The challenge was to use a whole sheet of kaisercraft velvet crush patterned paper and a length of ribbon on one card. This was a huge challenge for me as my goal is usually to get as much out of one sheet of paper as I can!My bow on the front has become a little loose – something I didnt notice when we took the photo, but ignoring that…on the front I used the ribbon, and a prima button and pearl swirl. I die cut an oval out of the front of the card and sandwiched a length of ribbon between the paper and cardstock, then fussy cut the frames and stuck them on the ribbon, after stamping my greetings. Inside, I also decorated the blank cardstock, and fussy cut the rest of the paper and stuck it on top, and Die cut a butterfly and added rhinestones.One sheet of paper successfully used! Til tomorrow….

Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 2
Bo bunny Prairie Chic 12 x 12 papers, Stampin Up Blushing Bride cardstock and sentiment stamp, and string and flower.Very little product on this card, but one of my favourites! today, after washing,cooking and housework, I sat down in the craft room,( where I finally unearthed my table)and did some stamping and embossing, just for a change. i have a new sizzix embossing machine – like my big shot, but just embosses, and wanted to try it out. I purchased it because it is a much more compact size than the big shot, more portable, and easier to fit on my table,so I should use my embossing folders much more now that I have a handy gadget close to hand! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Telegraph Road number 2

Prima Anna Marie number 7
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….
Graphic 45 couture collection number 7
Number 7 in my Graphic 45 Couture collection series, and for this one I used a sheet of the 6″ pad for the background paper ( so glad I bought this pad along with the 12 x 12 sheets – it’s all small patterns – perfect for the background layer because as it turns out I fussy cut just about every sheet of the 12 x 12!)and then a collection of fussy cut images from the 12 x 12 papers. I sat over the course of a few evenings watching tv and just fussy cutting, so I have a lovely container of images to delve into already for decorating my cards. I tend to do this now as soon as I bring home any new papers, so that when I get time to create all the hard work is done. Super hot here today, but the rain, thunder and lightening has just started so its going to be very humid shortly.Not nice. I have spent today resting my foot, and it’s back to work for me tomorrow,hopefully all that pain is behind me now. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Butterfly Kisses number 3
All I have used here is a small amount of patterned paper from the kaisercraft butterfly kisses paper pad, and one of the tags from the same pad.It is the layering on this card that adds interest and this is one of my favourite sketch ideas. I rounded the corners on the right hand side of all the layers, and added ribbon and rhinestones to finish. The card base is stampin up cardstock, and the other plain layer is Kaisercard.looking forward to 3 days off and some time spent in the card room this weekend setting up classes for February! til tomorrow….
