Now I know we haven’t even celebrated Christmas yet, and here I am posting a Mothers Day card, but I need to make 100 Mothers day cards this year, and thought I would do a couple a week to keep ahead. This new paper from kaisercraft – Sweet nothings is perfect for Mothers day, and lately every card I do seems to have a lovely vintage feel to it. For this card I just used the 6″ pad and lace and flowers. I did ink every edge with Antique Linen Ink, and the leaves were punches from my trusty Stampin up bird punch. I love this collection of papers, and it may be one that I go back for seconds for! I have managed to get over a dozen male cards done today, so I am looking forward to getting out the bling and glitz after tea and creating a bit more with this paper! 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….
A clutch of xmas cards….
Here is another group of christmas cards, this time using Kaisercraft december 25th 6″ pad and I believe a sheet or two of 12 x 12. Just added ribbon and kindyglitz. I had to go and check which kaisercraft range this was, and see that I have quite a bit left, and I’m quite tempted to make a few more, although I am sure I am done with xmas but I have been working on a simplified triple easel card which I think I have perfected and this paper would be perfect – maybe when Nathan gets his camera back I will turn it into a video clip to show it off! 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…..
Mainly Dies and cuttlebug
I found this lattice die during an on line browse, and now that I have it, I have forgotten what brand it is! Sorry, can anyone help with that? Anyway its a great die, and perfect for floral themed cards. The paper I used was frpm Kaisercrafts Blae and Ivy range, and I also used my sizzix butterfly die, and Stampin Up swirls die. Martha stewart punch and an assortment of flowers completed the look. Back to xmas cards today, quite enjoying making them so I must have just needed a break from them for a few days! Til tomorrow…..
A couple more xmas cards….
I have to apologise for the quality of the photos, Nathans camera is still in being repaired but hopefully you get the gist of these xmas cards. The paper collection is Kaisercraft December 25 and the card on the left has a little flap which opens to show another image.Having said that I’m done with xmas cards, I am going to have to do a few more, as I had a bit of a run on them at the market today. It was very good there today, with lots of stalls and people around. I was next to an antiques stall, which had lots of interesting things on it including boxes of old photos, and postcards, but a bit out of my price range for buying to put on cards, and a lovely box of broken bits of jewellery which I dug through and bought some interesting bits and bobs for using on cards. The lady also had an old straw hat with lots of silk rosebuds (55 in all) which she gave me for free! Those rosebuds will be featured on a card very soon! Til tomorrow….
Tis the season….
Again I think I have mixed and matched my Kaisercraft collections – Tis the season and december 25th, and on this card a tag. The cardstock is stampin Up Always artichoke, and I added a little organza bow. I have spent spme time in the card room today, but it was to organise my cardstock which took 2 hours! At least now I know what I have, and i will go in there after tea and come up with some new mens cards. Til tomorrow….
More Xmas!
Upon investigation I have found that I have used 2 different collections for this card, and realise that they really go well together! They are kaisercraft Tis the season ( 6″ paper pad) and Kaisercraft December 25th ( a 12 x 12 sheet full of xmas images – a cost effective way to make your cards) . All I added was an organza ribbbon and some kindyglitz for santas beard! The cardstock is as almost always Stampin Up ( colour – Popppy Parade). I have only made a couple of cards so far with these papers but have put them out on my table and tonight I will get in there with my itchy fingers and make some more! Til tomorrow….
