I think I mentioned the other day that I would post some stamped cards, here are a couple of them and we will continue with them next post as well. All of these cards are made with one stamp set from Stampin up called Tuscan Vineyard, and all supplies used are by Stampin Up as well.The top card….I die cut a circle in some vanilla cardstock, and die cut the scenery stamp as well – the scenery stamp is actually shaped in an oval, so made that decision super easy! I coloured the scene with inks and an aquabrush, and stamped the swirls in the corners to finish. The lower card….I stamped the grapes on watercolour cardstock, coloured with inks and an aquabrush and fussy cut.Stamped the swirl down the outer edge of vanilla cardstock, wrapped a ribbon around, and attached all to card base.( the sentiment is from an older stampin up stamp set). This afternoon I am in the craft room working on september lessons and it’s all about Christmas! Have you started your Christmas cards yet? Time is flying and it will be upon us before we know it! Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft mademoiselle 2..
I know I mentioned some stamped cards in my previous post,but Nathan did some Photoing, and there was one Kaisercraft mademoiselle card in the group,so I wanted to put it up with yesterdays card, so that we aren’t jumping all over the place!For this card i have used some of the 12 x 12 papers. The frame is from the 12 x 12 card front sheets. There was some words in the centre, but I didn’t want to use them, so I cut the inside of the frame away and backed it instead with some 12 x 12 paper. With this collection there is a specialty sheet covered with lots of lovely images which I sat and fussy cut out one evening, and that’s where the lady came from!All I needed then was a kaisercraft flower, ribbon bow and some pearls to finish.

Kaisercraft Mademoiselle..
The Kaisercraft Mademoiselle paper collection is gorgeous, so much so that I have used it for my August class at Paper Flourish!For this card I have used the 6″ paper pad,and a couple of the collectables.The trim is by Prima, and the butterfly is fussy cut from another of the papers in the pad.The secret to this vintage style paper is to ink around all your edges…I have used Tea Dye distress ink.We will continue this collection after Nathan has photoed the cards I have since made up, meanwhile tomorrow we will have a look at some stamped cards I recently worked on.

Bo Bunny Butterfly Kisses number 5…
Hello and welcome to my new subscribers! Today we are looking at the last of my Bo Bunny Butterfly Kisses cards ( for now..I love this paper collection and will be re visiting it soon, but for now I have to make some Fathers day cards). This one is my favourite of the series because I have gone back to basics, relying on the paper to do all the work! The base is stampin up cardstock, and the first layer is a piece cut from one of the 12 x 12 sheets. The next piece is from the matching noteworthy pack, and I fussy cut some pink / apricot frondy bits from more paper and added a butterfly collectable and ribbon bow. Today i am teaching a class over at the retirement village,so i must go and remind myself what we are actually doing and gather all my bits and pieces together! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Butterfly kisses number 4…
Bo Bunny Butterfly Kisses paper collection…in the collection is a sheet with lots of mason jars printed on it,so I fussy cut them out and this is one of the cards I made with the result. I added a butterfly from the collectables pack and the brad on the flower at the top was from the collection of brads that came with the collection. I think I said it before..the brads are gorgeous! A bit of layering and a ribbon bow ( of course) and this one was finished! day off today, shopping done, tea prepared and I am off to the craft room! Til tomorrow….

Stampin Up Birthday Blooms stamp
Todays card is a mix of embossing and stamping and colouring. The embossing folder I used on the background Is a kaisercraft Roses embossing folder, and I sprinkled a few rhinestones over it. The main image is a stampin up stamp from their Birthday Blooms stamp set and I coloured it with copics and fussy cut it out, attaching to the front of the card with 3d foam pads. A little ribbon and lace and this card is a very feminine card indeed! This morning I have been busy creating in the kitchen, an apple crumble for later, a pasta bake for a quick meal in the next couple of days, and some spinach soup for lunch today made with spinach from the garden. I feel i have earned some time in the craft room! til tomorrow….
My sisters birthday card..
Yesterday was my sister’s birthday,and I had made her card a little while ago, but recently I coloured this stamp ( stampin Up peacock ) with ink pads and an aquabrush, and then I purchased some of Stampin up ‘s new colour cardstock which went so well with the peacock I had just coloured that I changed my mind and gave her this card instead as she loves peacocks, and the card I prepared earlier is in a box ready for next year!Meanwhile today I taught a class over at paper Flourish, and we had a lovely time! I have done my shopping, and now I am off to prepare some tea! Til tomorrow…
