The Kaisercraft Mademoiselle paper collection is gorgeous, so much so that I have used it for my August class at Paper Flourish!For this card I have used the 6″ paper pad,and a couple of the collectables.The trim is by Prima, and the butterfly is fussy cut from another of the papers in the pad.The secret to this vintage style paper is to ink around all your edges…I have used Tea Dye distress ink.We will continue this collection after Nathan has photoed the cards I have since made up, meanwhile tomorrow we will have a look at some stamped cards I recently worked on. Til tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft mermaid tales 5..
Kaisercraft mermaid tales paper collection, ( 12 x 12 paper) and matching collectables.I don’t often make square cards but I didn’t want to cut up this printed card front. I rounded all my corners,layered up some of the collectables,and added some gorgeous satin ribbon and bling. the final touch was some Clear Wink Of Stella brushed on the mermaids tail. It’s a busy morning here catching up on a lot of washing, cooking the weekely roast,and generally tidying up ..especially all the bits Luna has brought in from the garden! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraftmermaid tales 4..
A pretty card made with kaisercraft mermaid tales 6″ paper pad and the matching collectables. I die cut some sea weed with a kaisercraft die cut,some little branches from the kaisercraft leaves dies,and a ribbon bow. the cardstock is from Stampin up. This week I picked up the new Graphic 45 paper – safari, and the bo bounny paper – butterfly kisses ( which is absolutely gorgeous!), and I can’t wait to start creating with them, but first I have a couple of lessons to set up, so we shall see how the time goes!

Kaisercraft Mermaid tales 3..
Todays kaisercraft Mermaid tales card. I used some paper from the 6″ pad for this one, punching out images with a circle punch and layering them on a kaisercraft Circles die,which is discontinued now, a shame because it is a terrific die.I die cut the circles out of glitter cardstock and purple cardstock and layered them on top of each other. Of course I added some bling to match the sentiment! I have spent a little while in the craft room today doing some orders,but my heart isn’t in it just now as my younger son has moved to Sydney this week to take up a job with Google and my heart hurts. I know its a wonderful opportunity for him,and I will get used to the idea, but for now it’s a bit tough.Anyway for now i will go back to the craft room and immerse myself in the lovely new papers from Bo Bunny ( butterfly kisses) that I picked up today …til tomorrow…

Kaisercraft limelight 1,2,3..
When I was looking for something else altogether in the craft room, I came across some paper I hadn’t created with, so I stopped what I was doing and came up with 3 very quick cards that would be suitable for the men in our lives or even ladies that love nature! The paper collection is Kaisercraft limelight and I have used the matching collectables, papers from the 6″ pad and there my even be some bits of 12 x 12 paper here too.the top card was perfect to use one of my little clock charms on. Who knows what else is hiding in that craft room? Tomorrow I am back to work, so this afternoon is all about finishing up some projects on my craft table, and thinking about some ideas for upcoming classes. Til tomorrow….
