Final Mothers day card

Here is my final Mothers day card for the year! A quick and easy one for those of you who left it til the last minute! The paper is Kaisercraft madame Boutique, and the stamp ( which I coloured with tim holtz distress ink and a waterbrush) is Kaisercraft lady Jude. Just a pearl flourish and a flower to finish. I hope everyone has a lovely Mothers day tomorrow, I am hoping for a day of no cooking – but I am not holding my breath on that one! Til tomorrow…..

My new Dies!

I purchased a few new dies for my cuttlebug  a couple of weeks ago, and here I have used them all on the one card…. The paper I used is Kaisercraft Madame boutique, and I made the floral accent in the corner with my Martha Stewart deep edge punch and topped it with a resin flower from kaisercraft.The Doily die is Kiwi from Cheery Lyn designs,the scroll is Faunterleroy crest from memory box, and the ribbon buckle is Locina Buckle also by Memory box.

Great fun, I can’t wait til I have a bit more time to play some more with them… Til tomorrow…

Madame boutique ..6..(?)

I have called this one number 6 but I can’t remember what number we got up to in the Kaisercraft madame Boutique  range. This card has ended up looking like a box of chocolates, but I don’t think that’s a bad thing…. I do love the prima flower. I also added ribbon. Such a busy week, but we are almost there now, tonight Daniel and I are going out to pick up my most amazing shelving unit from a friend whos’ husband built it for me. It has 24 shelves and is 4′ high, so I will be able to store my 12 x 12 papers and actually be able to see them … so excited…. Til tomorrow…

Madame Boutique #3 male card!

As promised here is a male card created with kaisercraft madame Boutique 6″ pad and collectables. I used a kaisercraft rub on – I do like this quote, and I also made a tag to tuck behind, but you could put a gift voucher in the pocket instead.Very busy day at work today, so I am a little tired but hoping to spend an hour or two in the craft room unwinding.. Til tomorrow….

Madame Boutique 2

I have a village lesson to teach tonight, so I actually wasn’t going to post today, but I want to share something with you all . Today when I was shopping at my local shop I found out that yesterday 8 people had their handbags snatched out of their trolleys in the local supermarket. It’s that time of year when people get very brazen in order to fund their xmas shopping, so to you all, my friends, when you are shopping have a good tight grip on your handbags or even better, just have your money, cards and keys in a secure pocket.Now on to todays post. The paper and collectables are from kaisercraft Madame Boutique, the cardstock is Stampin Up Baja Breeze, the flower was created with a sizzix die – flower layers #9 and I used tissue paper and an old dress pattern and added a couple of feathers. The lace is a stamp from Kaisercraft called lace, next time I use it I won’t use such a dark ink pad, a bit more subtle would have been the way to go! Tomorrow you will see how I turned Madame Boutique into a mens card… Til tomorrow…..

Madame Boutique 1

I think I have shown a couple of cards made with this paper before, but it was a little while ago, so we will start this series again at number one! It is kaisercraft Madame Boutique paper and matching collectables, and I just added a little lace and ribbon ( of course!) I haven’t been in the craft room all week, and I am looking forward to sitting in there tonight. I still have brand new papers – not even cut into yet – to play with, but it is a very busy time of year at work  and so exhausting… Til tomorrow….

cuttlebug and sizzix dies no.3

I’m calling this a cuttlebug card as I used three different sizzix dies on this one. The thanks, flower and Leaf dies were all used. The paper is Madame Boutique by Kaisercrafft. After saying  in my last post that I am finished with xmas cards, I received an order for 25, so its back to xmas for me! Til tomorrow…..
