Charlottes Dream 3
The paper is Kaisercrafts new release Charlottes Dream, and I dyed the seam binding from cream to green with some stampin up reinker in certainly celery to match. The Butterfly is cut with another new die I purchased, by Memory Box, – it’s actually 2 dies – Moonlight butterfly and Kaleidoscope butterfly, but they are designed to fit together or you can use them seperately. I just added a paper flower ,kaisercraft pearls and a sentiment from my Stampin Up Blessed Mother set. Cooking tea as we speak, so must go for now.. Til tomorrow….
Charlottes Dream 2
Again, this card using kaisercraft Charlottes Dream paper collection was made so that I could play with some new purchases! The butterflies were stamped and embossed ( a new embossing powder called Antiquities weathered white by Ranger) onto vellum and cut out, and the gorgeous wreath is a new die for me from Memory box called Catalina Wreath. I just added ribbon, lace,liquid pearls and kaisercraft pearls to finish.Today has been a very productive crafty day. I finished my experimenting with strips, I have made 9 different cards just using strips. I actually used 2 sheets of patterned paper to see how much I would need for my class, and all I had left were the tiniest bits that I was quite happy to throw out!So now to choose which ones will make it into the class. I then moved on to designing a card with a built in bookmark and moving parts.I was having trouble with measurements, so put it aside and made some baby cards. Had a little Nanna nap, and when I woke up I had solved the problem with the measurements ( Amazing Huh?)so now I will be found in the craft room finishing off that design and it will also be a lesson at some time..Til tomorrow….
Charlottes dream…
Here is a card with a couple of firsts… The first card I made with Kaisercrafts new paper collection – Charlottes dream, and the first card i made with my new die made by memory box called La Rue Flourish. It is the most dainty die – I worried that it wouldn’t work well through my cuttlebug, but I have purchased a metal adapter plate to add to the cuttlebug sandwich, and it works like a dream! I also used my well used Sizzix tattered florals ( a most popular addition to my cards – Every card with one of these flowers on it sold at the market today), Stampin up Bird punch for the leaves, and some gorgeous lace , which I just wanted to keep… to finish it off. As I mentioned a busy day at the market, and beautiful weather, but so tired now, I will just be sitting in front of the T.V. tonight.. Til tomorrow….
