Playing with my new dies…

I can never resist buying new dies for my cuttlebug. I think they are a good investment, and I can always justify a purchase by telling myself I will run a class using them! This card  uses two Cheery Lyn Design dies – tropical Flourish and Lattice number 2. The paper I used  here is Kaisercraft The Lake House and a matching collectable inked around the edge with spun sugar distress ink. I just  added  a ribbon  bow to finish.I still have a few cards made using  this paper that I haven’t shown yet – this is number 10 -I certainly have got my moneys worth out of this paper!I will spend a little time in the craft room tonight – I have an idea for another Fathers day card then I am ready to move on! Til tomorrow….

Tyhe Lake house number 4

Number 4 in my Kaisercraft The Lake House collection. here I have used the 6″ pad, and the matching collectables. I inked around the edges of the collectables with victorian rose distress ink, and punched a border with my martha stewart punch. I just added some ribbon and kindyglitz, and the cardstock used was Stampin Up Blushing Bride.So excited today as Amy Tangerine ( who designed the sketchbook papers that I used a few posts ago commented here on my blog!)That’s a thrill! Til tomorrow….

The Lake house 3

Still using the 6″ pad from Kaisercraft The Lake House,I fussy cut around the flower sheet, and also cut a couple of extra flowers to pop on top with mounting squares. I added some ribbon, a stick pin, and flower, and used some liquid pearls and kindyglitz to decorate, and also slipped in a die cut from the matching collectables pack.The cardstock is Stampin Up Early Espresso.I am busy this week coming up with some lesson ideas,but also very busy at work, so a bit tired when I get home, already looking forward to the weekend when I intend to craft a lot! Til tomorrow….
