Here are the last two cards made with Kaisercraft my cherie, for the meantime anyway!These ones are thank you cards – I have made a huge range of cards with different sentiments with this collection, so it’s a great one for all round cards.The top card has a mix of 6′ pad papers and 12 x 12 papers, and the bottom card uses just the 6″ pad.I found some flowers in the bottom of a drawer,wound some silver thread in the back ground and finished off with a big bow and fussy cut butterfly. My roast is in the oven, my shopping list written out for this week, and now I am going to round up Nathan and his camera and take some photos of my latest makes ready to post!I must take this opportunity to welcome all my new followers, thank you for joining us, feel free to comment and join in crafty conversations! Til tomorrow….

Thinking of you, kaisercraft My Cherie 10..
Another Thinking of you card using kaisercraft My Cherie paper collection. the background paper is from the 6″ pad, and the sentiment and butterfly are cut from 12 x 12 papers from the same collection, with a few flowers added.I rounded the right hand corners to fit in with the curved lines of the sentiment. Tomorrow i have a couple of thank you cards from the same collection, and then we will move on to some Mothers day cards as that is just around the corner.We have a lovely lovely weekend here weather wise,and I have spent some lovely hours just sitting in the back yard in the sun, a lazy weekend!

Kaisercract Ma Cherie 8 and 9…
A change of pace today with a couple of thinking of you cards made with kaisercraft ma Cherie paper collection. I fussy cut the flower sprays from a sheet of 12 x 12 paper, and the lovely embossed paper on the background id from the 6 ” pad, as is the greeting and butterfly.very similar cards – subtle differences – the background papers are two different papers, and the cardstock used are two different shades of grey. This morning I was digging through my graphic 45 paper looking for special papers to use for a village lesson,and I need a lot of the same paper as my ladies want to learn how to make a bendy card and graphic 45 is the only paper I have in large quantities – mainly because once home with it I find it very difficult to cut into – I love it that much!Going through it all Ideas were springing from everywhere – I will never have enough time to make everything I want to, but at least I have realised the time has come to use this paper!So any spare time this weekend will be spent with Graphic 45!Til tomorrow….
Bella Blvd Cute baby boy 8,9,10,11…
I skipped a day this week, work hours have been all over the p-lace, anyway, we are looking at 4 cards to make up for it, and to finish off this series of bella blvd cute baby boy cards. I did make some birthday cards with this paper too, and these ones are the bottom two cards. So from the top – the elephant is stamped with a stamp from Stampin up zoo babies, and the balloon die was a freebie from a magazine.The second card is very similar but I fussy cut the bear from some of the paper collection. The third card -I fussy cut the train from the paper collection, the cloud die is from a kaisercraft hot air balloon die set, and I inked around the edges to give more definition.Again free balloon die! and the fourth card I cut a banner from the last scrap of paper, fussy cut the bear and die cut the balloons. I have shown you eleven cards from my 4 sheets of paper but I did make 19 …brilliant value with this paper. I have done the same or similar with the bella blvd sweet baby girl papers, and I will show you just a few – but we will take a bit of a break from all things baby and have a look at some of the other cards I have been making for a change next time. til tomorrow….
Bella Blvd Cute baby boy 6 and 7
Still with the same 4 sheets of paper from Bella Blvd,and a couple of different techniques here. The top card is an embedded embossing technique, i fussy cut the dummies(pacifiers) from the paper, stuck them onto some white cardstock and then ran it through my big shot in an embossing folder. I love doing this technique!The other thing i did on both cards was stamping – i dug deep into my stamp collection and found this one – by stampin up, but really old!! I cut around the stamped image and then stuck it onto some contrasting cardstock,and cut around it again. this makes little stamps a bit bigger so that you can use them as focal points. I added ribbon bows and a wobbly eye on the duck on the bottom card to finish. Til tomorrow…..
Bella Blvd Cute Baby boy cards 3,4,5..
Another 3 cards made with bella Blvd Cute baby boy papers.On each of them I have die cut a scalloped circle with spellbinders dies, and fussy cut the stork image from the paper.I stamped the sentiment with stampin up Itty Bitty banners, the “perfectly precious”was also cut from the papers,and I just added ribbon bows and buttons.i am spending this afternoon over at Mum and dads,and i will take Luna with me , to give our Foxy a break from her!Til tomorrow…..
Baby boy cards
I bought 4 sheets of bella Blvd cute baby boy cards,and made 19 cards with it! Here are a couple and I will show a few more over the next day or two.On these two I have stamped a Stampin Up stamp on to some of the patterned paper and fussy cut the stamped image, layered onto a spellbinders scalloped circle.The sweet baby banner is from stampin up itty bitty Banners stamp set,and I added buttons, silver thread and a ribbon bow on the left hand card.All my housework for toaday is done and I have some gorgeous new paper from Kaisercraft ( cottage Rose) sitting in the craft room waiting for me and I am looking forward to relaxing in there!Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft coastal escape 1,2 and 3
A beach theme today with the wonderful papers from Kaisercraft – coastal escape.All the cards here are made with just a couple of the 12 x 12 sheets, and they were a lesson I taught a couple of months ago at paper Flourish.The trim is by Green tara, and the large happy birthday die is from kaisercraft, the smaller one is by spellbinders.The bottom card is a great sketch idea to use up those little strips we always have left over!My voice has come back, and I am starting to feel more like normal again,just a s well really, I need a ll my energy to chase after that puppy who has developed an obssession with my balls of wool. No amount of telling off will put her off, and yesterday she had unravelled 3 balls all through the house.I must invest in a zip up bag that she can’t get into! Til tomorrow…..
embossing and die cutting
The rose die that I used on these two cards was a freebie on the front of a card making magazine.On both cards I die cut the rose, then stuck it on contrasting card and fussy cut around it to give the two tone effect. I have some border embossing folders so they are the ones I used on the card on the right, and I used my Kaisercraft rose embossing folder on the left card – that folder is becoming a favourite! the fancy edge on the left card was die cut with spellbinders borders dies.Both cards were finished off with ribbon bows.The “with love” is another freebie die,and I die cut the letters on the other card to spell Mum.Quick post today, til tomorrow…..
Z fold flap card
This is the third card the ladies made at last months village lesson.I have put it up separately because I want to spend a little time explaining the measurements. I cut a piece of cardstock 10.5 cm wide and 30 cms long, folded it in half, and folded the front back on itself.I then cut a piece of cardstock 8cm wide by 20cm long and folded it in half. this is the flap that gets stuck on the back of the base card.After that it just a matter of decorating. I have used an older paper collection here from Stampin up,but I have done this style again with some Bo Bunny paper, and I have found that 4 different patterns within the paper range works best – a big design on the back, stripes down the folded card front, a smaller matching design on the front flap and very plain inside for writing on. This one below is the Bo Bunny card using the new secret garden range. Til tomorrow….
