Pickled Pear and labels die
For this card, I covered the front of a 6″ card with Kaisercraft Pickled Pear paper, and then Die cut a window in it using one of the Stampin Up Labels die. I covered the inside of the card with more paper from the same ( gorgeous) collection, and decorated the inside and out with flowers, fussy cut butterflies, and a leafy branch that I stamped on to Acetate and cut out, using one of the stamps from Kaisercraft Pickled pear stamp set. Tomorrow we will go back to Kaisercraft flora delight paper, for now I am off into the craft room – I haven’t been well this week, but much better today, and feel in the mood for some crafty therapy! Til tomorrow….

Art deco Style…
I have posted this card at the request from two of my ladies, who are having a card making day soon to make some art deco style cards. Here I have used some images from the Do crafts Papermania Art deco Collection layered onto black cardstock, and added a touch of lace. I think the secret to Art deco is to keep to geometric shapes – no soft curves or frilly bits here! Even the lace I have used is angular.I also think black is a good base for this style of card, and if you don’t have black cardstock for bases, use black for your layers. square, diamonds and triangles are all good for Art Deco style cards.Thank goodnes for the weekend, and cooler weather – i am so looking forward to some quality time in the craft room..

One for the boys….
I spent a day last week going through my paper collection, and as I was tidying, I kept stopping to make cards with the papers i was unearthing, so over the next few days I will show you these – some of the papers may not be available now, but you would be able to get the same result with current papers, the sketch ideas work with most papers. This one was Echo Park For the record paper collection, and I used Stampin Up Hearts a Flurtter dies to die cut the banner across the top.
