I am jumping around a bit this week, but it’s because we haven’t done any photo-ing for a couple of weeks and i am going through older files to clear them out, anyway today we are back to Kaisercraft Miss Nelly patterned paper and my Stampin Up designer frames embossing folder. Did some border punching,and added ribbon, flowers, lace and liquid pearls. The sentiment is from Stampin Up Petite pairs set.My working week is over, so I will be in the craft room tonight finalising an order, and playing with the new kaisercraft range. Til tomorrow….

Pretty cuttlebug
Todays card is all cuttlebug. The cuttlebug folder used is folder that cuts and embosses at the same time, and I used a Stampin Up designer frames folder for the embossed oval behind, and an oval punch for the greeting. The cardstock is stampin up whisper white and pink pirouette,martha stewart butterfly punch, and flowers and ribbon to finish! Have received some orders today, so the next couple of days will be spent doing them – lucky they aren’t xmas as all that is packed away1 Til tomorrow….
Baby Girl cards
I made these Baby Girl cards a little while ago, but forgot to post them – The one on the left is a box style card, and both cards use a scrap of Bo Bunny paper I had left over from a collection I once bought. The Bear is a Hot off the press stamp which I stamped a couple of times onto pink patterned paper and then cut out and paper pieced to achieve a 3d effect. I mounted it on a Spellbinders picot edge cirlce die in white. The rest of the card was easy – just some flowers,ribbons and buttons to complete the look! Til tomorrow….
Tigerlily and scraps…
This card was made a little differently to the way I normally create – I usually have my collection as the base, then gather cardstock, ribbons, flowers etc that I think will go well with it and start from there. with this one I had only bought 2 sheets of the collection – ( Kaisercraft Tigerlily) unusual for me but it offended my eye with the strong orange mixed with pink ( just a personal thing – I don’t normally like orange and pink together) so I didn’t have too much paper to play with but… there were lots of odds and ends on my table from other projects, and so that is what I used on this card and the next couple that I will show you over the next couple of days.The white embossed oval which I inked around the edges was given to me by one of my ladies when she was showing me her new cuttlebug die purchase, so I can’t tell you the name of it, and then I just added a few flowers and a dainty pink bow to finish.The gorgeous butterfly was fussy cut from a sheet full of butterflies from Kaisercraft Tigerlily. I have been very good and stuck to making my Fathers day cards, still a few to go, but I am seriously missing my ribbon, flowers and bling so tonight I am going to treat myself and make the blingiest card I can think of!Til tomorrow….
dress form card
A very late post today, but today has just escaped from me and Nathan and I have just finished photoing my cards, which we usually do on a Sunday morning. This means the light was not good and to avoid putting up Nathans photo tent (which is impossible to fold back up) I was in the dark under the dining table which he assured me was the best place to take said photos.We will see when he has put them on the computer. Anyway on to todays card. No pretty papers today! Bazzil cardstock which i ran through the cuttlebug with my swiss dots embossing folder, and spellbinders dress forms die ( cut from a bit of a cereal packet and painted with crackle paint) The pretty lace is actually a curtain remnat, and the flowers were cut with my cricut and the flower shoppe cartridge.All that was needed then was a bit of ribbon, a paper flower and some liquid pearls.That’s it for today, but will see you all tomorrow. Til tomorrow…….
Sketch series for using scraps number 8
We are nearly at the end of this sketch series – one more to go after this . Toadys card uses my spellbinders nested lacey pennants, some stampin Up ribbon and sentiment, and of course the paper is Everyday enchantment by Stampin Up. The second card which closely mirrors the first uses American crafts Neapolitan paper, stampin Up daffodil delight trim, ribbon and flowers instead of the lace bow and the cardstock is Stampin Up calypso coral. My back is still sore, so nothing but a seat in front of the t.v. with a hot water bottle for me tonight!Til tomorrow….
English rose … the last I promise….
I farewelled this paper some time ago, but Nathan and Ididn’t take any photos this weekend, and I was going back through my files to see what hadn’t been posted yet, and I found this group of cards, which is – I promise – the last of kaisercraft English rose paper ( mainly because I haven’t got any of that paper left) and a collection of ribbon and flowers, and some sizzix tattered florals made with my cuttlebug.I am looking forward to spending a few hours in the craft room tonight, I really haven’t had time for a nice long card making session all week, and have quite a few ideas I want to try out. Til tomorrow….
Nature garden
A couple of weeks ago I bought a few pieces from Primas new releases, and this collection is the only one I have had time to play with so far, but I will get to the others, hopefully this weekend. So, this is 12 x 12 shetts of Prima Nature garden, and I just added lace and flowers. I distressed the edges of the mats, and boy, does this paper distress! It took me ages before I could bring myself to do this to paper, but this collection was made for distressing. The collection comes with matching stamps, which I also purchased, and that is the butterfly image which i stamped and fussy cut, and it also has a little fairy girl holding a flower in the set, which I haven’t inked up yet. Til tomorrow….
These days 4 – Mothers day
Todays card is number 4 in my These days kaisercraft series. I have combined the 6″ paper pad with the matching collectables, and added some lace, flowers, and used martha stewarts fern punch and a border punch. The cameo was stamped with a stamp from Oxford Impressions jane Austen set. I had a lovely morning with my group of ladies at paper Flourish – we had a great lesson today. I have tomorrow off work, and the rest of my family are tied up all weekend with putting on a couple of wrestling shows for the fringe, so the weekend stretches peacefully in front of me with lots of time for crafting with all my new purchases! Bliss…. Til tomorrow…

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…..
