Today i used some Stampin up cardstock for the base card, and a layer of paper from the kaisercraft St. Nicholas 6″ pad. The image in the right hand corner is from a piece of the 12 x12 paper which I fussy cut, and I tucked 2 little post cards from the collectables pack in behind it. I stuck a piece of cream seam binding across the top of the card and mounted a sentiment greeting from the 6″ pad on top. This afternoon I have finally had a couple of hours in the craft room , so i am working on some orders. It’s back to work tomorrow so i won’t get much time in there until the end of the week. Til tomorrow….

Wedding card for my Niece

The hearts were die cut and then embossed with two different folders, a strip of lace and ribbon,silver leaves punched out, and prima flowers and bling to finish.Til the day after tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft St. Nicholas number 1- christmas 2013
This months release from kaisercraft includes this collection of papers – Sty. Nicholas. My favourite as it’s vintage themed. Here I have used the 6″ paper pad, and the frame is from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper. The image is from the matching collectables pack. I have been very on and off with my christmas making this year – not too inspired by the christmas releases so far, but have just realised we are nearly into october and I need to make approximately 400 cards , with one order for 50 already, so over the next couple of weeks it’s all about christmas for me! Now to find that christmas spirit…. Til tomorrow….
