graphic 45 tropical travelogue 5
This is the card I made for my Aunties birthday – it was a very hot day when I made this one and the colours were very cooling.. you can see where my mind was…. Nathans camera doesn’t like taking photos of step cards – it never knows what to focus on so this image isn’t the best but I hope you get the general idea. The cardstock was Stampin Up calypso coral, and I did a bit of fussy cutting of the papers to get the result I wanted Til tomorrow……
Graphic 45 tropical travelogue 3 and 4

Another 2 cards using graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue, and a little ribbon and bling. the Cardstock used is stampin Up taken with Teal, summer sun, Calypso Coral and green galore. Some of those colours are retired now, but I stocked up on them and I am so glad I did!They match this paper so well. Quick post as its shopping tonight and I have an order to fulfill as well…. Til tomorrow…
Graphic 45 tropical tavelogue
Another hot day here in my part of the world, but I have found the perfect papers to cool me down – graphic 45 tropical travelogue collection. The colours are gorgeously vibrant , bright and cool! I have used Stampin Up cardstock with them – taken with teal, and summer sun. I also added some ribbon, a maya stick pin and assorted kaisercraft bling. I only have a couple more to show in this series, but will be making more with it soon – it’s such a gorgeously bright collection, and different from what I have been using lately… Til tomorrow…..
Sidewalk 5 and 6
Here we are for our second post today. This is the last in my October Afternoon sidewalk series, which I wanted to finish today as I am eager to move on to the next…. These two cards also used the button, twine and seam binding that came in the matching Miscellany pack, and I used a spellbinder labels 14 to stamp my Stampin Up Perfectly Penned greeting stamp on to in choc chip ink.There is a little lace peaking through the layers, and I punched a lacy edge with my Martha stewart punch.So Hot here in Adelaide today – 40C ( thats 104F for my overseas visitors) Very hard to craft in this heat – My quick dry glue was drying before I could get anything stuck to it, my double sided tape went quite tacky, and parts of my body were uncomfortably stuck to my seat! It looks as though it is cooling down now, although that could be wishful thinking! Welcome to my new subscribers,I hope you all enjoy my card making journey as much as I do…. Til tomorrow….
Sweet nothings 4…
My blog address is still playing up, but some of you are finding me so we will carry on as normal. Now, in all honesty I have lost track of what number we are up to in my Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collection series so I have randomly picked 4 as a good number for this card! All I have added to this piece of patterned paper is a collectable from the same collection, and a ribbon and bling. I hope you all had an enjoyable Christmas, and have found a little time for some serious card making…. Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings 3…
Here we are with number 3 in my kaisercraft Sweet Nothings series. I have used the 6″ pad, and the blue bird is a rub on from the same collection.In the centre is a Prima clear gem which has been in the bottom drawer for quite a few months, and I die cut the circles with my new Spellbinder Picot edge circles die.The really good thing bout this paper is all the cards look so different and look Kay – not a bit of ribbon, lace or bling to be found on this one! I am looking forward to spending an hour in the craft room tonight after tea…. Til tomorrow…..
Sweet Nothings…..
Now I know we haven’t even celebrated Christmas yet, and here I am posting a Mothers Day card, but I need to make 100 Mothers day cards this year, and thought I would do a couple a week to keep ahead. This new paper from kaisercraft – Sweet nothings is perfect for Mothers day, and lately every card I do seems to have a lovely vintage feel to it. For this card I just used the 6″ pad and lace and flowers. I did ink every edge with Antique Linen Ink, and the leaves were punches from my trusty Stampin up bird punch. I love this collection of papers, and it may be one that I go back for seconds for! I have managed to get over a dozen male cards done today, so I am looking forward to getting out the bling and glitz after tea and creating a bit more with this paper! Til tomorrow…..
Madame Boutique 1
I think I have shown a couple of cards made with this paper before, but it was a little while ago, so we will start this series again at number one! It is kaisercraft Madame Boutique paper and matching collectables, and I just added a little lace and ribbon ( of course!) I haven’t been in the craft room all week, and I am looking forward to sitting in there tonight. I still have brand new papers – not even cut into yet – to play with, but it is a very busy time of year at work and so exhausting… Til tomorrow….
Favourite paper,Favourite stamp 2
The recipe for this card is the same as the post below, with the addition of my new spellbinders die and a stamp.Tomorrow I will get back to my kaisercraft timeless vintage cards I promise! The cardstock on this card was Stampin up Certainly Celery.Today I have created 6 cards in a monochromatic theme, and after all that black and white I had to break out the brightest papers I could find to get my colour fix for the day. Nathans camera should be back at the end of this week so I will be able to photo them all then. Til tomorrow…..
