Graphic 45 a place in time 8

 

IMG_8733 (Medium)I have been on a bit of a hunt through my photo files looking for the card ( well two actually) that I made for a 40th retro birthday order that I had, and it appears that I haven’t got photos of them although Nathan and I are both sure that we took them. I  still have one  of the cards so the next time the camera is out we will take a photo so that I can post it! So to todays card – This is Graphic 45 paper – the images are from a Place In Time, and the background is from an older graphic 45 collection – the good thing about Graphic 45 paper is that most of the collections do have pieces that will match with other collections.The bigger image is matted on Kaisercard, and I found some trim in my ribbon drawer that matches perfectly with the blue and orange tones.Taught a class last night, and this morning – lovely ladies, and had a great time. This afternoon was a little nap time to catch up on lost sleep, and now I am ready for the weekend! Til tomorrow….

Flora Delight number 2

IMG_8741 (Medium)Today we are back to my Kaisercraft Flora delight series, – love the orange and green for a change of pace…. here I have fussy cut some of the paper to stick on top of some of the green paisley patterned piece, and added a kaisercraft flower and some punched leaves and a butterfly with bling and ribbon to finish. The sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up – Wonderful Mother – a perfect set for mothers day cards. I have been concentrating a lot lately on my patterned papers, as I am trying to reduce my collection a little, but this weekend I have been making some cuttlebug cards, and some others that rely on Colour and shape( as we speak on my desk is a yummy collection of black, pink and green which I can’t wait to get back to) but my photographer Nathan is very busy this weekend sorting through hundreds of photos that he took at our boys wrestling companys’ huge show last night, so it may be a little time before I can get him to photo my new cards! it’s back to the room for me – til tomorrow…..

Lavender haze and Labels Dies

IMG_8816 (Medium)I had started a new series yesterday, but I have abandoned it for the moment as one of my Ladies requested some ideas for useing her Stampin Up labels dies. i have come up with a few quick cards which i will show over the next couple of days. Here is the first, an easel card, Kaisercraft lavender haze 6 ” pad and collectables, but any paper will do – this ideas works for most, and stampin Up labels dies, cut twice in ever smaller sizes! a bit of glitz and rhinestones and finished! Over my tummy bug now but still a bit weak, so no craft room for me! Til tomorrow….

IMG_8736 (Medium)Today is Kaisercraft Botanical Odyssey number 2. Just the 6″paper pad, and matching collectables, and a little seam binding for this one – I do love this paper, and in a minute when I return to the craft room where I have been working on May Lessons, I am going to get it back out and make some more cards with this one!

Botanical Odyssey

IMG_8735 (Medium)Early post today, as I missed last nights post as I couldn’t move with a sore leg – all is well today though and I have spent a lovely morning in the craft room. Todays card is made using kaisercraft Botanical Odyssey paper pad and collectables – my favourite recent range release – it is right up my crafting alley – love anything to do with nature.I just added a kaisercraft bling strip on this one, and stamped it with a hero arts happy birthday stamp , and sponged in Vintage photo ink around the edges of everything!I am now making a 40th birthday card, for an order, but have hit a snag deciding what my lady meant when she said retro – to me thats 60’s, but I’m thinking she might have meant 70’s and that’s two different eras with two different styles – I’ll just go back into the craft room and create until something feels right! Til tomorrow…
