Two cards today, and the one on the left uses all the same products as the card on the previous post, but I used Bashful Blue cardstock instead of Pink cardstock, and used a different piece of patterned paper from the Tea for Two range. The card on the right uses Attic boutique paper from Stampin up, and lace an d flower trim, also from stampin up.Same ideas – different looks! It’s a very cold afternoon here in Adelaide, the end of the working week, and I am looking forward to getting into the craft room this weekend – I haven’t been in there all week – it’s just been too cold to move very far from the heater! Til tomorrow….

Tea for two and Dress up – stampin Up
I have quite a list of things I used on this card – all Stampin Up except for a few at the end of the list! Here goes – The dies used are Blossom party die and Dress up framelits, the embossing folder is Honeycomb,paper is tea for two ( gorgeous range) the sentiment is stamped with a stamp from Itty Bitty Banners, and I used pink Piruoette cardstock and inked all my edges with the same colour ink. The flourish on the dress form was stamped with a stamp from Everything Eleanor in versamark ink and then I brushed on some perfect pearl powder – thats not stampin up as is the rest – Doily, rhinestones and large pearl. the ribbon is stampin up taffeta pink pirouette. Whew! I did enjoy creating this card, and I have another one in a similar style to show you all tomorrow. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Porcelain rose 10 and 11 – The last….
Quick post tonight, as Tea is cooking as we speak! Here are my last two cards made using Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose, so tomorrow we move on to something new! I made good use of the collectables for these cards, used the 6″ pad for the backgrounds, and created a little scene using the border strips, chairs , flowers and tags ( which I used as pictures on the wall) I loved working with this collection, the colours were so varied, and the range of cards I made all looked different. I have none of these cards left now as they all sold at my craft fair stall.Off now to dish up tea, Til tomorrow….
Porcelain rose number 9 with acetate
This one was a hard one to photo so i hope you all get the general idea! I used Kiasercraft Porcelain Rose paper, and the gorgeous sheet of acetate that was released with this collection. The 12 x 12 ” acetate has a beautiful pattern all the way around it, with roses, and birds so I did this design a few times using every inch of that acetate! I cut the front of my base card off and replaced it with acetate, while inside I lined the card with paper, and added a little pocket with a journal card from the matching collectables so that you can write a message to the recipient. Back to work for me today, so bit tired tonight, and a night in front of the tv is all I will be up to! Til tomorrow…
Porcelain rose number 8, Anniversary card
I hope you are still with mme – this group of cards has been bigger than I thought! Still with the Kiasercraft Porcelain Rose paper, this time the 6″ pad and collectables, with just a little ribbon and kindyglitz to finish. A different colour again, but I love the background paper. I have been out this morning teaching a class, great time was has by all – especially me- they are very entertaining, my ladies! And now I am back in the craft room, still working on my lemon/grey cards.Til tomorrow….
An Engagement card today..
I made an engagement card with Porcelain rose ( kaisercraft) paper and a couple of the matching collectables. The die used is Spellbinders floral oval, and I added daisy trim and clear rhinestones to finish. I do like the black white and red colour scheme on this one. I have been busy in the craft room today, with more than one project on the go which is unusual for me – I do like to finish one ideas before I move on, but so many thoughts swirling around I had to get them all down and still have one colour scheme to try. lemon and grey – I think it will look ok but we will see! the other things I have been up to are two pieces of canvas art which are drying as we speak and quite a few cards using kaisercrafts new true Romance papers – gorgeous soft pastel colours on that one.Til tomorrow….
Porcelain Rose number 6
Quick post tonight, as tea is cooking as we speak! Really quick card to make too – Porcelain Rose paper ( 12 x 12 corner piece) and a couple of collectables from the matching pack ,a bit of kindyglitz and thats it! today I have been working on some fathers day cards, and baby cards, and tonight I am going to spend a little time preparing a couple of canvasses for some ideas I have. Til tomorrow….
Porcelain Rose number 5
And here is the reason I love this Porcelain Rose collection from kaisercraft – the range of different papers and colours! the ones used on this card are from the 6″ paper pad, as is the border which I used in the middle of the card, and the label too! All this card needed to finish was the bird from the collectables pack of the same range and a white ribbon stuck across the centre.I had a lovely morning teaching my class this morning, and while I was at Paper Flourish I picked up some new alphabet dies in three different sizes – all set now to add my own custom greetings on my cards! Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose number 4
There’s that bird again – isn’t he gorgeous? The paper is a piece of the 12 x 12 paper from Kaisercraft Porcelain Rose, and the tag is from the matching collectables pack. I stamped the sentiment with a stampin up stamp and added a blue flower ( kaisercraft) and kindyglitz to finish. I have had a very productive day in the craft room today, just sitting and experimenting with some stamps, and mucking about with different colour combinations – very satisfying. My holidays have flown by and I can’t believe it’s back to work next Tuesday for me! For now though, I must go and pack my class bag as I’m teaching tomorrow – so looking forward to seeing my ladies! Til tomorrow….
kaisercraft Porcelain rose number 3
This card uses a couple of pieces of the 12 x 12 paper from the Kaisercraft porcelain rose collection,and a couple of pieces from the packet of collectables that match. I stamped the sentiment ( stampin Up) on one of the collectables, and put the banner piece behind it to break up the black and white. The leaves in the corner are punched with martha Stewart leaf punch, and I punched a circle, cut it into a spiral and rolled a flower.Today has been a day of straightening up the craft room, still some work to do in there – I have bought some new storage bits and pieces, so it’s a good time to have a thorough clean out and donate some supplies to the ladies at the reirement village – my mojo seems to have left me for today – hope it’s back tomorrow! Til tomorrow….
