Nathan got out his camera today and we took some photos so I have a lot of very recent cards to show you all over the next couple of weeks. The first group are all made using Kaisercraft Secret Admirer collection. I haven’t yet been able to purchase my 6″ pad as there has been a little hold up with availability, so I have been using the 12 x 12 papers and on this first card I also added some ribbon,pearls ,lace and kindyglitz. The butterflies are die cut with Cheery Lyn Exotic Butterflies,and the sentiment is Stampin Up perfectly penned. I am off to the craft room for a couple of hours to unwind after a very busy and stressful week! Til tomorrow….

Did some border punching,and added ribbon, flowers, lace and liquid pearls. The sentiment is from Stampin Up Petite pairs set.My working week is over, so I will be in the craft room tonight finalising an order, and playing with the new kaisercraft range. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft pickled pear!
Today I taught a class with my lovely ladies using Kaisercraft Pickled Pear papers, so thought it would be an idea to show a couple of other cards I have made using this paper collection over the next couple of days. I also used the matching collectables, and a prims canvas bird, which I coloured with a sponge a nd distress inks.The lovely branchy bits is made by stamping a kaisercraft pickled pear stamp onto acetate and cutting out. I will definitely be found in the craft room tonight, so looking forward to it! til tomorrow….

While browsing through my files deciding what to post today, I found a couple more oval themed cards.Here they are! The papers are Miss Nelly by Kaisercraft – I have done a few cards with this paper recently because I wanted to use it up to make room for some new purchases. I forgot how pretty it is. anyway, The ovals are embossed using Stampin Up designer frames oval embossing folder and I fussy cut around them, Martha stewart butterfly punch, memory box la Rue flourish,assorted stampin up sentiment stamps, and flowers and ribbons to finish. Shopping tonight, so no crafting for me, til tomorrow….
spellbinders labels seventeen number 4 and 5
two cards today, a simple one on the left, and for the one on the right I die cut my label, cut it in half and placed the pieces on the top and bottom of my card. The images are from Kaisercraft Timeless collectables, and the paper is Prima Craftsman.Very hot day here in Adelaide, so won’t be visiting the craft room tonight – a night under the air conditioner is on the cards! Til tomorrow…
Spellbinders labels seventeen number 3
There are two views of todays card, because the is a bit of work on the inside as well as the outside! I covered the front of the card ( all papers used are Kaisercraft Miss Nelly) and used the spellbinders label seventeen to die cut an aperture. The piece that was cut out was stuck inside on top of some more patterned paper, and I added a couple of butterflies die cut from Cheery Lyn exotic butterfly small #2. just added some bright ribbon and bling to finish.This is a simple card to make but looks really effective, and I must remember to make more like this! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Miss Nelly
On a close inspection I have realised I didn’t use my labels seventeen die on this card, which ruins my whole theme thing I had started. So today, just imagine that instead of using the pre cut shapes that came with the Kaisercraft Miss nelly 6″pad I had cut them with my die!For the rest of the card – I punched corners out of the matting paper,stamped a sentiment from Stampin Up curly Cute set, added some lace and made a flower with my sizzix Tim Holtz Paper Rosette die, adding a kaisercraft sparklet and leaves to finish. Have had a lovely afternoon getting inky fingers with my Mum as we played with a plethora of new stamps. As soon as I organise nathan I will have lots of new cards to show you! Til tomorrow…
Labels seventeen card 1
I am starting a new series today. Over the next few days I will show a variety of cards, with one thing in common – The spellbinder is the same on each card – I challenged myself to come up with a variety of different ways to use spellbinders Labels Seventeen. For this first card I have used it the way most of us use our spellbinder labels – as a mat. The paper is kaisercraft Timeless, and I also used the matching collectables.This collectables pack is great because there is a great mix of images for mens and ladies cards so good value.The weekend has just begun for me, and I am looking forward to spending quality time in the craft room, but also have to write out my xmas cards and get them in the post! Til tomorrow….

The carrdstock is Stampin Up – cherry cobbler,baja breeze and crumbcake. I also used an EK success fan border punch.I have lots of new stamps and embossing folders, and dies sitting on my craft table, so tonight I am in the craft room creating! Til tomorrow…
madison window die – christmas 2
This is the last card for now, that I have to show using my Madison window die ( from poppystamps).The brick wall background is my tim Holtz Bricked wall embossing folder which I inked before running it through the cuttlebug. As with yesterdays card I added a little lace behind the window for curtains, and I used a stampin Up christmas stamp for the view inside the window. The grass is done using the grassland die also from poppystamps.I have been so busy this week, not much crafting happening – I hope to get into my room tomorrow for a little while – I am missing my crafting!
