I had a lovely morning with a large group of ladies in my class today, and we were using Kaisercraft Secret Admirer patterned paper, so I thought this afternoon we would revisit this collection, as I still have quite a few cards to show in my files. This one uses the 12 x12 paper, and the matching collectables.I punched a border strip using a martha stewart lace doily punch out of some lovely pink kaisercard, and blinged it up with kaisercraft rhinestones and sparklets. the sentiment is stamped using a stamp from Stampin Up perfectly penned set.This afternoon I have been creating with some basic grey paper, a short break to cook some dinner, and I will be back in the craft room to finish what i have started!

DoCrafts Art Deco number 1
I bought An A4 Ultimate Die – cut and paper pack called Art Deco by Do Crafts,, and this is the first card I made using it. I have a couple more waiting to be photograghed, which hopefully will happen this weekend, but I wanted to share this one. The pack is chock a block with everything you need to create, and for this card I just added some plain cardstock layering and some bling which was perfect for this style. I am now on the hunt for some feathers. I think they would work perfectly with this collection.I’ve been checking out my galah, but he is the wrong colour! Til tomorrow….
October Afternoon farm girl number 13
Here it is – the Final October afternoon farm Girl card – what a marathon! Thanks for sticking with it! I always try to make a male card with any of the collection I play with, so this is it for the October afternoon farm Girl collection. I love the woodgrain paper, so it was easy to use it as my first layer, onto a base of Stampin Up Crumbcake cardstock. I cut out a couple of the seed packets, and wrapped one with twine, and stamped a wheelbarrow with my Stampin Up Countryside stamp set.Tomorrow onto something different! Til tomorrow….
October Afternoon Farm Girl number 12
This is the second to last October Afternoon farm Girl card. I layered a couple of papers, fussy cut one of the flowers from another sheet, and added two of the seed packet images. I finished with seam binding, and a wheelbarrow stamped from my Stampin Up Countryside stamp set. quick post tonight as its shopping night, til tomorrow…..
October Afternoon farm Girl number 10 and 11
New Home cards today! These two cards were made with October Afternoon Farm Girl papers. The one on the left has some interesting layering on it, which used up a little bit of the scrappy off cuts I had on the table left from previously made cards.I fussy cut some of the little flowers from another sheet of farm girl paper, and added some ric rac and Kaisercraft rhinestones.The houses were from the same kraft sheet as my previous post, I have had them for at least 2 years, and can’t reemember what brand they were, but they match this paper beauitully, and I have managed to use up a little more stash! I taught a class this morning, and I picked up some Tim Holtz glass bottles. I am going to make my husband a Valentines day card and put one on the card with a message inside it – I will post it when I have done it. Til tomorrow….
October afternoon Farm Girl number 8 and 9
For these two cards I have done a fair bit of layering, and added ric rac,buttons, and bakers twine. The heart images are some I found in my craft stash, I have had them for years, and they came on a kraft sheet with quite a lot of home spun images. the patterned paper is October afternoon farm Girl. Super quick post tonight as the family are waiting for me to play a board game1 Til tomorrow….
October Afternoon Farm Girl 6 and 7
For these two cards I used a couple of different papers in the October Afternoon farm girl range. I fussy cut the flowers out of one sheet, and teamed them up with the gingham papers and dots papers. I die cut a spellbinders scalloped rectangle, and used the resulting frame ( the rectangle will appear on another card soon) and added buttons, ric rac, seam binding, bakers twine, and a bit of bling and kindyglitz to finish. the end of the working week for me , and a couple of days off to play with my new hexagon spellbinders and embossing folders – can’t wait! Til tomorrow….
October Afternoon farm Girl Number 5
Number 5 in my October afternoon farm Girl series, and for this one I used a lovely gingham patterned paper to cover my card blank,and a strip of paper on the side, punched with a martha stewart punch, and highlighted with a little ric rac. three lovly buttons threaded with bakers twine down the opposite side, and I fussy cut the farm girl from another piece of the patterned paper.Thats the last of the animal images, tomorrow we move on to what else you can do with this wonderful collection.I taught a class this morning with my lovely ladies, and had a terrific time with them, as always. I came home full of ideas for my March classes, so have been creating in the craft room, and will head back there now while I am in the Zone! Til tomorrow….
October Afternoon farm Girl number 4
A very late post tonight – it’s been incredibly hot here today, and only now have I been able to sit in comfort at the computer! This is one of my favourite cards as it combines all the elements I love – fussy cutting,buttons, bakers twine, ric rac, the use of paper scraps ( the strip I used threaded through the gorgeous ribbon slider – not just for ribbon)The paper is of course October Afternoon farm Girl.And so to bed –Â til tomorrow….
October afternoon farm Girl number 3
This one was super easy – I covered the whole card base with October Afternoon patterned paer, and then just decorated with other pieces that I had fussy cut from the same collection. The gingham strip down the right hand side is a scrap from the same range, and I added a button and flower for some texture. Most of the fussy cut images were stuck in place with mounted squares to add some height. a bit of bling to the fussy cut flowers in the corner, and done! It is a really hot day here today, but I will pop into the craft room for a short while to fulfill an order, but I won’t be hanging around in there – it’s definitely sit under the air conditioner and watch t.v. weather. Til tomorrow……
