Kaisercraft Tropical Punch 3 and 4

IMG_4941 (Medium)IMG_4943 (Medium)These bright colours certainly make a change from all the shades of red and green we have been working with! Both of todays cards use the 12 x 12 papers from the Tropical Punch collection by kaisercraft, and I also used some collectables from the same collection on the top card. Flowers, ribbon, stampin up greeting stamp and fussy cutting ( on the bottom card) to finish.Til tomorrow……

graphic 45 12 days of christmas 2014

IMG_1785 (Medium)IMG_1790 (Medium)IMG_1791 (Medium)IMG_1794 (Medium)here we go – the last 4 Christmas cards for this year! This is graphic 45 12 days of Christmas paper collection – it was last years release I think, but I had a bit left over and made these four cards with it. All stampin up cardstock, and mainly all fussy cutting, with the odd ribbon, doily,lace and punched edge and leaves.I taught a class over at rhe retirement village this afternoon, and have been experimenting in the craft room with some fancy folded cards – I would like to do a class with them, but have to perfect this technique myself first!Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas 2

IMG_1787 (Medium)I have so many cards waiting to be shown, but we have to return to Christmas otherwise Christmas will be over! So, for a few days I will flood my blog with all things Christmas, and then we will put them all behind us for another year and move on to all the other paper collections I have been playing with! To start, Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas paper collection, just one tonight because I want to spend a little time explaining how I made this very simple easel card. I made a 14 x14 cm card base with some red cardstock, and just folded the front of the card into the centre fold. thats it – so easy, but the best way to showcase this image which I fussy cut from a 12 x 12 paper from the collection. I did a little more fussy cutting to make the front stoppers, and the holly frame,covered the base with more patterned paper,and added a strip of lace, bow,and kindyglitz.Til tomorrow….

IMG_4997 (Medium)IMG_5000 (Medium)Here are the last two cards I have created with Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate collection. I will get back to this collection one day, but for now I must do a few more christmas cards. Lots of fussy cutting on these, and some ruffled ribbon on the top card and some kindyglitz too.Not much crafting this weekend – time has escaped me! but I did get my final lesson for january finished, so ahead of the game for a little while!Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate 5 and 6

IMG_4990 (Medium)IMG_4991 (Medium)It is a very versatile paper, this Graphic 45 Time to celebrate.. so far we have had wedding,baby, and now graduation and little girl birthday!The top card has lots of fussy cutting, and a bit of layering. the bottom card is much simpler with just a bit of ribbon and lace to decorate. I taught a class this morning, and normally when I get home I go into the card room feeling all inspired, but today is just far too hot, – about 38C at the moment, so I will be found curled up in my chair under the air conditioning reading a book! Til tomorrow…..
