This is the final card I made the other day with my Go Press and Foil machine.I spent a lovely couple of hours the other night doing some more foiling so there will be more to come. I foiled the flourish and fussy cut around it, then glued it to white cardstock and embossed the whole sheet with a stampin up embossing folder. The butterfly is diecut in glitter card with a kaisercraft die. The chipboard leaf is foiled. Til tomorrow….
I do like an all white card, and this one has pops of gold all created with my Go Press and Foil machine. I foiled the sentiment, and some chipboard, added an embossed background, and added a couple of flowers and flourishes. We had an early trip to the airport this morning to pick up my son Daniel who is home from Sydney for a holiday, so i may be a little sporadic posting this week. Til tomorrow…..
As you all know , I purchased a Go Press and Foil machine and have been practising with it. The upshot is I have a lot of foiled bits and pieces waiting to be made into cards! I sat down the other day and made a few, this is the first one…Stampin Up cardstock ( watermelon wonder I believe) for the card base, and the Go Press and foils stamps for the ornate embossed background and the sentiment. some ribbon, a hand coiled flower ( also on my desk waiting for a project) some die cut greenery and flowers from Iamroses website. i have a few hours to myself today, so i am heading into the craft room with no plan..just going to see where the inspiration takes me! Til tomorrow….
This is another double z fold card, this time with some Kaisercraft sage and Grace decoration. I used pieces of the 12 x 12 papers, and some of the matching collectables. I haven’t done anything else with this paper collection yet as I have been busy playing with new toys and preparing lessons for the next couple of months, including some christmas makes, but will get back to this one in the near future! I actually have a bit of a pile of new papers to get back to! Anyway, today is a day in the kitchen as a friend gave us a big box of tomatoes and I am making a huge pot of spaghetti sauce to put into containers and freeze, and we will be having tomato soup for tea tonight! Til tomorrow….
Sadly today is our last day of Kaisercraft high Tea, but I will return to it one day!This last card is interesting because it is a Double z fold card. I saw this fold in a magazine and I had to try it immediately, I love it, and I am teaching my ladies how to do it at the end of the month. If I ever get some free time I will also do a you tube clip of it, but will let you all know when that has happened. The papers I used to decorate it are from the 6″ pad, and the collectable pack and sticker sheet. Such a quick post today, but i am just home from a day at work and tea is ready..I can smell it! Til tomorrow…..
We are coming to the end of my kaisercraft high tea series..one more after this one. Todays card uses the 6″ pad for the background layer,and a strip of 12 x 12 paper across the bottom, which is decorated with scraps of ribbon, lace and Green Tara flowers. The main focus is on a resin frame which I backed with a tag from the 6″ pad, and decorated with a die cut butterfly and flower. I worked all day at the shop yesterday, so I still haven’t had a chance to play with my new Go Cut and Press machine, I may find a window of opportunity today, we shall see how I feel after I have done my jobs around here! Til tomorrow…..
Continuing on with Kaisercraft high Tea,this one is very simple with one of my resin frames,backed with a tag cut to shape behind it, on a piece of paper from the 6″ pad, and a sticker from the sticker sheet across the bottom. The sentiment is from the 6″ pad,and there is a scrap of lace and a bow to finish. I had fun decorating the inside of the frame with a punched butterfly and some pearls. Yesterday I purchased my Go press and Foil by couture creations, and although I have removed it from its box I haven’t yet had time to play with it properly, so now I am excitedly waiting for the weekend so that I can foil everything in sight! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft high Tea collection, ( a piece of the 12 x 12 paper as a background, A strip from the 12 x 12 sticker sheet down the middle, and a push out circle from the 6″ pad behind the resin frame). I Die cut and ornate circle ( Paper Rose) and a circle from patterned paper, and added a gorgeous soft pink ribbon bow. I am working tonight,so I have spent this morning sorting through my embossing folders, removing them from their packaging for easier storage…the aim is to make a little room in the craft room because on Wednesday I buy my Go Press Foiling machine and I need some room for it. I cannot wait to get it..everything within sight including all that chipboard I have and don’ Til tomorrow….t know what to do with is going to be foiled!
Kaisercraft high Tea..this time the 6″ pad, and another of those gorgeous resin frames which I backed with a scrap of patterned paper and added a punched butterfly to. Lots of ribbon and lace, and some liquid pearls for texture. The sentiment was in the 6″ pad. Yesterday was a productive day in the craft room, I finished off a couple of projects,came up with a couple of designs for the cruise cards, and did a couple of cards for a challenge which I needed for todays crafty meeting with friends. The challenge was Autumn so I am interested to see what everyone else has come up with. Til tomorrow….
continuing on with Kaisercraft High Tea,combined with a paper Rose die. The die is a corner die, but i angled it a little differently on the card to half frame the image I fussy cut from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper.Another piece cut from some 12 x 12 paper from the collection was used as the bottom layer. The sentiment is a kaisercraft die, and I embellished with pearls, a ribbon bow, and a punched butterfly. I have had a busy week, lots of lovely new things coming into the shop, and today is going to be dedicated to creating in the craft room!Til tomorrow…
