Here are the last two cards I made using the Couture Creations Let every day Be Christmas A4 pad. I have lots of this paper left, but it might be kept to start me off on next years cards now as I am starting to wind down the Christmas makes, although Nathan did some photos for me yesterday while I was at work and there are a few left to post yet, these last ones are “a lot of fun” Christmas cards and I can’t wait to show them to you!But back to todays cards….double zig zag fold design ( you tube clip on the way…)and just various matching pieces of patterned paper from the paper pad with a couple of toppers from the collectable pack that matches the range. I am still working on my large Christmas card order, putting the final touches on that, Cruise cards are on going, but I see a time now when I can play with all the non Christmas papers etc that I have been collecting and particularly can not wait to start cutting into the Kaisercraft rose avenue collection! Til tomorrow…..

Let every day be Christmas!
The second card I made with Couture Creations .. Let every day be Christmas..the A4 paper pad, a couple of different designs from it layered on top of each other, and one of the collectable die cuts from the matching pack. Some ribbon from my collection which matched perfectly and a white ribbon bow to finish! What with one thing and another it was a very hectic weekend with no crafting, and my desk has been buried under a pile of things which has just been stacked on it so now before anything happens in there I have to go and dig for my desk… That will keep me busy this afternoon! Til tomorrow…..
Couture Creations Christmas…
I have a few more Christmas cards, this series made with Couture Creations Let Every day be Christmas A4 paper pad and matching collectables pack. I mounted the Bird collectable onto a spellbinders scalloped circle die cut, and added some Stampin Up trim ..Quick and simple! I am home now after a hugely busy morning in the shop, and I have been die cutting some Christmas trees for a large Christmas card order I have to fulfill, now that they are done I am going to sit down this afternoon and do some fussy cutting of baubles and presents to decorate, Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Letters to santa 13 and 14…the final…
Here we are at the final two Cards i have made with Kaisercraft letters to Santa collection, and what fun i have had with this paper!Both of these cards use the 12 x 12 papers in the collection for the background pieces, and the long stickers on the sticker sheet for the smaller z fold piece. There is a pine cone on the top card which I foiled with chocolate foil and my go press and foil machine, Nuvo drops were also used on both cards for the red berries. a bit of ribbon and bows and these were quick and easy! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Letters to Santa double zig zag cards….
Both of todays Zig Zag cards use the 6″ pad from Kaisercraft Letters to Santa for the layers, and the long borders on the sticker sheet for the smaller zig zag piece. The top card has an image from the 12 x 12 pull apart piece, and a ribbon bow and the bottom card has some fussy cut postage stamps from a 12 x 12 piece of paper and some gorgeous gathered lace as well! I have had an interesting morning in the craft room experimenting with my Go press and foil machine for a December class. I have discovered that clear acetate foils beautifully, and I have been spraying some foiled die cuts as well, and now to decide which techniques will make the cut into the class! For now though it’s tea time! Til tomorrow….
A mixed bag Christmas card…
On my craft table at any one time there is a jumble of lots of leftovers from various projects I have been working on, and this card uses a lot of the Christmas bits that were left on there after my last creating session! Here goes with the list! ….Kaisercraft Christmas tree die ( heat embossed with Nuvo gold embossing powder), Kaisercraft Letters to santa collectable and Wooden star flourish ( foiled with go press and foil machine) , Stampin up Hometown greeting die ( for the row of houses) and a piece of their designer paper, and a piece of white glitter card. I haven’t been in the craft room this week yet, busy working putting out lots of lovely new stock in the shop and trying hard to resist the temptation, so far so good, but the week isn’t over yet! Til tomorrow…..
A Christmas village..
We are going to take a small pause in the Kaisercraft letters to Santa series today so that I can show you a card I made with Stampin Up Hometown Greetings Die set and a piece of patterned paper from their Christmas Around the the World designer series paper pack. I die cut the houses from gold and white glitter cardstock, and baqcked the houses with some shiny pieces of an acetate type piece.. I have no idea what it was, Mum handed it to me over the table, unsure of where she had got it, but it worked a treat as windows. Next time I do these, I will use some plain acetate as I have no more of the scrap mum gave me, and I will try colouring the clear acetate with Copic markers to see if I can get the same light shining through technique. The trees and star are Kaisercraft wooden pieces, foiled with my Go Press and Foil machine. Our clocks jumped forward an hour for daylight saving, and I have spent all morning chasing my tail, wondering where the day is going…Time is truly flying! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Letters to Santa…7 and 8
Another Gatefold card today, using papers from the 6″ pad, some pretty lace and a couple of Kaisercraft die cut Christmas trees which I embossed with Nuvo gold embossing powder. The bottom card has another two Die cut trees, this time just touched with some Kindyglitz, and I hand cut a bit of a hilly background from white glitter card. the collectables on this card are from the Letters to Santa range. Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Letters to Santa 5 and 6..
Hello There! continuing on with my Kaisercraft Letters to Santa series, the top card uses the 6″ pad, collectables and ribbon, as well as some kindyglitz for shimmer, and some red Nuvo drops for my berries. The lower card is a gatefold design, with papers from the 6″ pad and images from the 12 x 12 pull apart sheet, and a couple of the collectables as well. I like doing gatefold cards for Christmas cards because it’s quick and easy to decorate the inside panel rather than having to stop and prepare an insert ! Quick post this afternoon, I will sign off now and go and prepare some dinner, til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Letters to Santa 3 and 4..
Today I have used the 6″ pad on both cards, even the fussy cutting elements, with the exception of the santa image which comes from the pull apart 12 x 12 sheet. I have used the Nuvo drops on all my red berries, and added some gorgeous ribbon and lace on the second card ( which is a little blurry…Nathan must have sneezed!). As usual every thing is inked around the edges with my go-to distress ink which sits on my desk..Tea Dye. All packed and ready to head out to my monthly craft and chat gathering, gee time flies, it just seemed like last week we were all together! til tomorrow….
