Kaiserrcraft cherrry Blossom paper collection and matching collectables. I cut a piece of white cardstock smaller than the card front, and die cut a circle from it, mounted it on top of the patterned paper, and added some collectables, sequins and a ribbon to finish.Day 2 of my holidays and it has been all action in the craft room. I have emptied my table and bookshelf, removed said bookshelf and put in two new ones. I am still in the process of shelving my stamp sets, and tomorrow the new desk will go in. Hopefully I will have a bit more room to move around in there, I have also nearly filled my wheelie bin with lots of older bits and pieces that are past their use by date and no good for passing on to like minded crafters!Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft card in a box Cherry Blossom cards
Here are 3 box cards I made for my stall at the fair. I used Kaisercraft Cherry Blossom papers from the 6″ pad and the matching collectables. I added some die cut flourishes ( kaisercraft die) and butterrflies 9 memory box die), leaves punched with martha stewart punch and a bit of bling and sequins. I have spent a little time in the craft room this weekend, trying to get to grips with the cas style of card making. Cas is clean and simple..lots of white space, and minimal embellishment. I have decided this style is not for me! I can do it, I just don’ t stop when I should, and before I know it I have maximum embellishment and my white space has a strategically placed ribbon, sequin or other sort of embellishment that would be frowned upon in CAS circles. I will persevere as I like a challenge! til tomorrow….

We will leave Kaisercraft say Aloha paper collection for now with this last card that i crated, along with the box to pop it into. the papers are from the 12 x 12 collection, and I added a butterfly from the matching collectables, and some flowers and punched leaves. Tonight my boys are out, so I am heading into the craft room to try some experiments with ink and stamps that I have been mulling over. Til tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft say Aloha number 1
The other paper collection I bought this month was Kaisercraft Say Aloha. With its bright bright colours and gorgeous flamingos I just couldn’t resist – I am always looking for something colourful at this time of year when it is so cold ,wet and dull here!For this first card I have used a mix of the 12 x 12 papers, 6″ pad and the collectables. I die cut a vellum butterfly,a scalloped circle, and added a kaisercraft paper flower. In the 6′ pad there are a couple of sheets with greetings on them so I die cut one of them out for the sentiment. Today I spent a couple of hours making a few quick cards for the craft fair next weekend, the time has come around so quickly this year, hopefully I have made enough…almost too late now to worry about that!! Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft scrapyard 2 and 3…
here are two more cards made with kaisercraft scrapyard paper collection, and matching collectables. On the top card I have stamped and heat embosed a vintage car from stampin up guy greetings stamp set,added some masculine trim and layered the collectables on top of each other for the sentiment ( the great cog shaped ones on the bottom had sentiments that I didnt want to use, so this was a great way to add more interest). The bottom card makes use of the identity strip across the bottom of one of the 12 by 12 sheets ( which had the handy birthday greeting), and again I have used the collectables as the feature on this one. day off today, so did the grocery shopping, a doctors appointment, and a quick run down to Paper Flourish to check out new papers etc for upcoming lessons. I saw the new kaisercraft releases for June ..Beautiful, particularly secret garden which is just gorgeous! Til tomorrow….
