This is the final for now in my Stampin Up Field flowers series, and leads nicely into my next series which is My Minds Eye Howdy Doody paper collection – my favourite so far of the recent new releases. I stamped the flower images with Prima chalk inks, and also used Stampin up cardstock – Blushing bride, a martha stewart punch and some velvet ribbon. It was quiet today at the market, and uncomfortably hot.. Joe and I took it in turns standing outside the shed where there was a bit of a breeze and it was a little cooler than inside! Til tomorrow…

Field flowers
This is the first card I made with my new stamp set from Stampin Up Field Flowers. All products used are stampin Up – cardstock and ink – Calypso coral and pool party, and designer paper – everyday enchantment. The die is a stampin up sizzix die – top note. Very quick post tonight as its tea time, and, people are wondering here it is! Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings revisited 4
This is the last of my cards using Kaisercraft sweet Nothings, tomorrow we will move on if Nathan has time to photo some new cards… Here I used the 6″ pad, a collection of Prima flowers, spellbinders Picot edges and labels 8, stampin up Bird punch for the leaves, and a few drops of liquid pearls. Tonight if my back holds out I will be in the craft room making engagement and wedding cards for an order..Til tomorrow..
Sweet Nothings revisited 3
We are still on my kaisercraft sweet nothings cards, and this one has no ribbon or flowers! It is purely paper and fussy cutting.. my favourite… Oh and a little kindyglitz. I am running a little late tonight – the time is flying today, but I have done all my jobs now, so I am going to do a little stamping and colouring … Til tomorrow….
revisiting sweet nothings part 2
Hello and welcome to my new subscriber! Tonight I have a simple card made using a bit of 12 x 12 paper from Kaisercraft sweet nothings collection and the matching collectables. All I added was a ribbon bow and a few flowers, ( and a little kindyglitz). The sentiment in the middle is stamped with Stampin Up Perfectly Penned… I do like this stamp and am getting so much use out of it.The paper is a favourite too, and I have still so much of it left so I will be using it for some of my Mothers day cards. I will be in the craft room tonight .I have quite a few orders to put together so they will keep me busy for the next few days. Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings revisited
Today I have gone back to a kaisercraft Paper collection called sweet nothings. I have already posted a few cards made with this paper and I have a couple more in my file. here I used the 6″ paper pad and decorated with Prima flower and leaves, and a little ribbon. I installed my new most amazing shelving unit last night and it is full.. Now I can’t fit another one in my little room, so I am going to have to work very hard to use up the papers I have before I buy more. I think I hear my sister Kay snickering in disbelief…Til tomorrow..
Group of Lil Primrose
I found some more Kaisercraft Lil Primrose cards in my photo files, so thought I would put them up today. I have used the 6″ paper pad and matching Kaisercraft Lil Primrose collectables, and assorted ribbon and flowers . A very, very quiet day at the market today, and very warm and muggy in the big shed, a relief to get home and have a cool shower !A little tired after the early start to the day, so I will probably not visit the craft room later… we will see… Til tomorrow…
A bargain find….
We are still using kaisercraft sweet nothings paper, I think this is actually number 10! Here I have used the 6″ pad and matching collectables, a maya stick pin, stampin up seam binding and my bargain find of last month – a bit from a broken necklace. Last time I was at the market the stall holder next to me was a lady with various antiques. She had some great old photos and postcards, but what took my eye was the tin of broken jewellry . I had a good look through it and bought a few pieces for a small amount and on this card is a bit of one of the broken necklaces .Whenever we are out ,if I see a little junk shop I always make sure I pop in cos you never know when you are going to hit the bargain goldmine!Old lace trim, buttons, even old book plates,postcards, etc….Great fun… Today I am in the craft room playing with my new tim holtz vintage car and umbrella man dies, and having great fun.. Til tomorrow…
A different folded flower…
Todays card has a new technique on it – The flower is made with a martha stewart strip punch, and I have thrown the packaging away and can’t remember what its called – maybe someone can help out there- I punched the length of a 12 x 12 papeterned paper and folded it accordian style, just like we do for the sizzix rosetttes, and popped a kaisercraft sparklet in the middle. these are easy to make and are more delicate that the rosettes. The papers used on the card are kaisercraft sweet nothings, I also used my sizzix leaf die, Stampin up greeting stamp – Well Scripted, spellbinders labels 17, martha stewart butterfly punch and a little ribbon. Til tomorrow….
-edit… I have since been told that the martha stewart punch I used to create the lacy rosette is a deep edge punch called Linked Trim. thank you Carole for the Info.
