here we go – the last 4 Christmas cards for this year! This is graphic 45 12 days of Christmas paper collection – it was last years release I think, but I had a bit left over and made these four cards with it. All stampin up cardstock, and mainly all fussy cutting, with the odd ribbon, doily,lace and punched edge and leaves.I taught a class over at rhe retirement village this afternoon, and have been experimenting in the craft room with some fancy folded cards – I would like to do a class with them, but have to perfect this technique myself first!Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas 2
I have so many cards waiting to be shown, but we have to return to Christmas otherwise Christmas will be over! So, for a few days I will flood my blog with all things Christmas, and then we will put them all behind us for another year and move on to all the other paper collections I have been playing with! To start, Graphic 45 T’was the night before Christmas paper collection, just one tonight because I want to spend a little time explaining how I made this very simple easel card. I made a 14 x14 cm card base with some red cardstock, and just folded the front of the card into the centre fold. thats it – so easy, but the best way to showcase this image which I fussy cut from a 12 x 12 paper from the collection. I did a little more fussy cutting to make the front stoppers, and the holly frame,covered the base with more patterned paper,and added a strip of lace, bow,and kindyglitz.Til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate 5 and 6
It is a very versatile paper, this Graphic 45 Time to celebrate.. so far we have had wedding,baby, and now graduation and little girl birthday!The top card has lots of fussy cutting, and a bit of layering. the bottom card is much simpler with just a bit of ribbon and lace to decorate. I taught a class this morning, and normally when I get home I go into the card room feeling all inspired, but today is just far too hot, – about 38C at the moment, so I will be found curled up in my chair under the air conditioning reading a book!

Kaisercraft yuletide 14 ..not christmas!
This paper was in the pack of 12 x 12 Kaisercraft Yuletide I purchased, but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to make a card other than christmas with it.It is in the lightest shade of old fashioned pink, so ribbon and lace were also a must! I die cut a Memory Box catalina wreath, and Tilda flourish ( also out of kaisercraft yuletide) and just added pearls and Prima flowers to finish.day off today, but a huge amount of shopping to do, and a birthday card for an order to complete, but up to date now and after a work day tomorrow I am looking forward to finally getting some crafting done on the weekend.Til tomorrow….
