This card somehow got separated from it’s partner which I posted a few posts down… I used Prima Botanicals paper, and the butterflies were fussy cut from a sheet of Graphic 45 paper that was full of these gorgeous butterflies. I used a scrap piece of prima paper to cut randomly sized rectangles and distressed and inked the edges before mounting the butterflies on them. Today I have been playing with my punches, and have come up with some different cards using them, which I am sure will feature in a lesson or two soon! Til tomorrow….

Prima meadowlark number 5
After a detour yesterday we are back to my Prima Meadow lark collection series – this is the second to last card in this series, and for this one I have covered the whole card base with this gorgeous paper, and added flowers and ribbon, I stamped a stampin Up perfectly penned sentiment onto a pice of paper from the same collection and fussy cut it out. The butterflies are punched out with a martha stewart punch.I did make a start on my village lesson cards, but had to put them to one side while I fulfilled an order, which I am still doing.I have also booked my stall at the salisbury craft fair which is being held in June, but I will have more info on that available on my Market button ( on my home page) in the next week or so… Til tomorrow….
Anniversary card
Yesterday was my husband and I’s 31st wedding anniversary and this is the card i made for him. I used kaisercraft Fine and sunny paper, and fussy cut the images from the paper. the sun was on the matching sticker sheet, and although it was for my husband I still couldn’t resist adding a little glitter to the apples! We received 2 beautiful handcrafted cards from mu mum and my sister, so when nathan and I do some photo -ing this weekend I will do them too, and pop them up here to share.shopping tonight so probably won’t get into the craft room, but I have all day tomorrow…. 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….
stamped Lil Primrose
I do like stamping – I just don’t do it very often because the papers take over! I particularly like stamps that I can use in a way that combines stamping with my love of fussy cutting so when I saw this little girl stamp from Kaisercrafts new range Lil Primrose I thought this is the stamp for me! I stamped her 3 times on to different scrap pieces of Kaisercraft Lil primrose 6″ paper pad, and cut out elements from each one to make up the whole – no colouring! All theother papers on the card are from the same range, I fussy cut the flowers down the bottom and added a little liquid pearls to the centres, and added a ribbon bow. The cardstock is Stampin Up Blushing Bride. I have spent some time in the craft room today and am heading back in there now…. Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings mothers day…
We appear to be back to cards I have made with Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings paper. I did show a group of cards made with this paper previously but have forgotten what number we got up to – I will have to research it before tomorrow nights post! Here I have used Bazzil cardstock, and just fussy cut elements from the 12 x 12 paper. All I added was a little kindyglitz .This card is actually a copy of one of my class cards, I taught 2 classes how to do it and then came home and did it myself! The little blue bird is a Martha Stewart punch. Til tomorrow…..
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……
