Todays Kaisecraft Telegraph Road card uses a corner of a 12 x12 sheet and the matching collectables. I was going for a collage effect, so layered a few of the collectables on top of easch other. I did some punching with martha stewart punches for the leave and flowers ( leaf and hyacinth punches) and added some gold liquid pearls and kindyglitz to finish. the cardstaock and sentiment stamp are from stampin up. Til tomorrow…..

madison window die
Nothing but headaches with my blog today – why do wordpress keep changing things, just as I learn how to do it the old way?Anyway,I bought some new dies a little while ago, -Madison window die and various accessories so over the next couple of days I will show you what I have been creating with them.Today I used kaisercraft Miss Nelly papers, and a Tim Holtz bricked embossing folder ( which I swiped with ink before embossing) for the brick wall.I used the madison window die, and backed it with some acetate, and more patterned paper. I filled the Poppy stamps window box die with flowers and leaves punched from my Martha Stewart punches and the Bike was stamped using a stamp from stampin Up Pedal presents stamp set. I hope this post makes sense – my computer has been moved into the room that my Galah resides in while the computer room is being painted and the whole time I have been typing he has been making the same tap tap tapping sound s behind my back – he is very distracting and highly entertaining – cheered me up no end!
Mainly punches
The colours on this card are similar to yesterdays card,just swapped them around a bit. I have used an assortment of punches to make a bunch of flowers, and added a ribbon. the cardstock is Stampin Up – Poppy Parade, daffodil delight, and very Vanilla. I also used my stampin up Vintage wallpaper embossing folder, decorative label punch and four frmes stamp set.Martha Stewart lace doily punch was used down the side of the card. Two days off now, so hope to relax a bit in the card room.. til tomorrow….
Charlottes Dream 4 – teacup card
I have made a few of these teacup shaped cards now, and they are stunningly easy to do. Just draw your shape onto folded cardstock -( fold at the top) and cut out and decorate. I have used Kaisercraft Charlottes dream Paper, Pool party Stampin Up cardstock, and a couple of Martha Stewart punches to decorate this one, but they are great to use up all those strips of patterned paper that we always seem to be left with! Tonight I will be making another one as I have an order for one to do. Til tomorrow….
Howdy doody 3
On todays card have made the greeting the focus of the card. I used Stampin Up pool party and blushing bride cardstock, and My Minds Eye Howdy Doody patterned paper. The punches were Martha stewart doily lace, butterflys, and fern leaves. I added some lace and liquid pearls, and rubbed a couple of the butterflies over a versamark ink pad and brushed them with gold perfect pearls ( powder) which gave them a lovely gold colour, and I will be trying this again with my other colours in the perfect pearls range.The Stamp set I used was Stampin Up elementry Elegance, and I gold embossed the frame, and stamped the greeting inside it. Over the past couple of days I have been making male cards, so today I gladly got out the lace, ribbon and bling and had a great time creating some really feminine cards, and I will be back in the craft room tonight as I have a couple of unfinished cards on my table…. Til tomorrow….
A different stamping techinique…
Todays card uses the lovely soft pastel papers from Melissa francis, and a couple of Martha stewart punches, flowers and lace. but the reason I put it up today was to show a stamping technique I used on it. I love the poem on this card, but it looked a bit plain when it was put together, so I stamped a tree ( from lovely as a tree – Stampin up) in versamark, and brushed some perfect pearls over the top. It gives a holographic effect – at some angles you can see the tree, and at other angles you can read the poem. This will possibly be mums Mothers day card, just because I love the the poem and I’m sure she will too. I am awaiting arrival of my second most amazing shelving unit so will be busy tonight filling it with papers! Til tomorrow….
