we are back to Kaisercraft Lady Bella papers tonight.. The papers I used here are from the 6″ pad, and the label is from the pack of collectables.I used my stampin up sizzix gift bow die to make the bow, and added some kaisercraft pearls, a mini flower and a little prima pearl swirl under the butterfly.I do love this paper and can’t wait to get back to it, in the meantime I had a bit of a splurge and bought all the new releases from kaisercraft this month, but will have to wait til I can play with them as I have a large order to complete over the weekend. Til tomorrow….

stampin up sizzix gift bow die
A vaery quick and easy card to night, and a quick post as I am organising tea as we speak! The paper was a pad i picked up in spotlight – lots of noce designs in it, and a range of colours too.The sentiment is stampin up – vintage labels stamp set, and the bow is a sizzix stampin up gift bow die – the die has two sizes on it and this is the big one! Til tomorrow….
A different way with stampin up mosaic punch
The last couple of cards have been made with my stampin up mosaic punch, and I found another way to use the same punch ( I saw this idea elsewhere, but loved it)To make the flower I stamped a mosaic madness stamp ( stampin up) 15 times, 5 in green and 10 in apricot,and then folded, shaped and layered to make the flower.I held all the layers together with a gem brad. For the card I used framelit oval dies ( stampin Up) and 2 embossing folders – cuttlebug swiss dots, and stampin up modern mosaic, and the sentiment from  stampin Up apocathary art stamp set.I made my scrapbook layout last night, and then it was up bright and early this morning for work. I normally have mondays off so that was a rude shock to the system! til tomorrow….
stampin up Winter Frost….
More christmas cards made with Stampin Up Winter Frost designer paper.The card on the left uses a stampin up reindeer punch, while on the right I have used the mosaic punch again, but this time punched three, and folded them in half then stuck them together to give that 3d look. I also used my martha stewart lace doily punch, and stampin up ribbons and cardstock. Today I have finished an order, made my sons birthday card and now I am back to a few more christmas cards, but I have an idea for a scrapbook layout buzzing around my head so i am going to do that before it drives me nuts! Til tomorrow…
Stampin Up christmas 2013
An early post today – These cards were made with primarily Stampin Up products. I have searched everywhere for my catalogue so that I could tell you the name of the designer paper, but to no avail, so will find out from my sister and edit this post at a later date to give you that info.* One of my followers – Kay has let me know that the stampin up designer paper is called Winter Frost.Lovely set of papers in this collection!Thank You kay. The cardstock is also stampin up, and I used the stampin up mosaic punch to punch out my bauble shapes.I punched them out of glitter cardstock. The colours I used here make a nice change from green and red for christmas don’t you think?Til tomorrow….

Anolther odd one that didn’t get posted when I made it!

I rounded all my right hand corners, and added a ribbon bow to finish.Very hot day here today, so no crafting this evening – it’s going to take all my will power to stand in the kitchen to cook dinner! til tomorrow….

kaisercraft enchanted garden number 5
going through my files i found some cards made some time ago that ( because of the christmas cards) I haven’t posted yet. So this week will be a tying up odds and ends week.Today and tomorrow is Kaisercraft enchanted garden. this paper was released a few months ago, and I did teach a class with it, where all my ladies diligently fussy cut a sheet of glittery butterflies. some were more diligent than others! Thats where the butterfly on this card came from, and the fairies were on another sheet of glittery paper. The oval is a spellbinder floral oval die, and I added a ribbon bow, kaisercraft flower and some bling to finish. Til tomorrow….
Definitely the last of Holly Bright
This is the last of my holly Bright paper collection. I have made an amazing amount of cards with this paper, but it’s time to move on! I used the 6″ pad for these two cards, and some Kraft and stampin up cardstock. I also used some of the collectables, and the greetings were from a 12 x 12 sheet.Ribbon and bling added the finishing touches.today has been all about housework, but i am about to head into the craft room to do some creating! til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Holly Bright 12 and 13
A bit of everything from the Holly Bright collection on these two cards – the background papers are from the 6″ pad, the greetings from the sheet of 12 x12 paper, and some collectables thrown in. I added some xmas type flowers and ribbon and bling to finish. The cardstock is from stampin up.Today i have been making bright summery cards, when I should be having a last push at the christmas cards, but christmas still seems a bit far away to me for some reason this year – I think it’s because I still have a couple of birthdays before then and I can’t think seriously about christmas until they are past….til tomorrow….
