This card is my favourite, made with prima Tea thyme 6″ pad, and matching collectables. I made the box to match ( you can see how to make this simple box on a you tube video I made titled card i9n a box box) and I added some flowers, ribbon and bling to decorate. Nathan and I have spent the morning taking photos of my most recent makes, so we will have something new to look at once he has put the photos on my computer.With Mothers day only a couple of months away, I will be concentrating on these cards this week, and I have a lesson to set up as well, so thats this week sorted!

Spellbinders nested tea cups number 3
Here is the third village card, made using the spellbinders nested dies. I can’t take credit for this particular design – I saw something very similar in a magazine, which actually prompted me to buy these dies!The tea cups are turned upside down and used as flowers, and a Cheery Lyn tropical flourish acts as our flower stem. I just added a few butterflies punched with a Martha Stewart punch, and a greeting and window punch for the greeting ( both from stampin Up) . The cardstock is stampin Up Tangerine Tango.I have some projects on the go in my craft room, but once again the hot weather is holding me back! Til tomorrow….
Spellbinders nested tea cup dies number 2
This is the second card we made over at the retirement village on the weekend . I used the largest nested tea cup die as a vase for the kaisercraft flowers, and some punched fronds(Martha Stewart punch) and Die -namic fancy flourish die. I embossed the bottom of the vase with a border embossing folder, and the cardstock used was Stampin Up rich razzleberry and perfect plum. I have spent some time today making cards with the new graphic 45 secret Garden, and will get Nathan to photo them this weekend so that I can show them next week, and now I have moved on to some mens cards.Til Tomorrow….

Super quick post tonight as I am teaching a class very shortly. This is the second to last card in my Basic Grey Serenade series, and tomorrows card is a special one.. 6′ pad, a sticker from the matching sheet, and some ribbon and bling, all mounted on a kraft cardstock base. Til tomorrow…..
Final Mothers day card
Here is my final Mothers day card for the year! A quick and easy one for those of you who left it til the last minute! The paper is Kaisercraft madame Boutique, and the stamp ( which I coloured with tim holtz distress ink and a waterbrush) is Kaisercraft lady Jude. Just a pearl flourish and a flower to finish. I hope everyone has a lovely Mothers day tomorrow, I am hoping for a day of no cooking – but I am not holding my breath on that one! Til tomorrow…..
English rose … the last I promise….
I farewelled this paper some time ago, but Nathan and Ididn’t take any photos this weekend, and I was going back through my files to see what hadn’t been posted yet, and I found this group of cards, which is – I promise – the last of kaisercraft English rose paper ( mainly because I haven’t got any of that paper left) and a collection of ribbon and flowers, and some sizzix tattered florals made with my cuttlebug.I am looking forward to spending a few hours in the craft room tonight, I really haven’t had time for a nice long card making session all week, and have quite a few ideas I want to try out. Til tomorrow….
Back to These days..
After a short diversion we are back to Kaisercraft Papers – These days. I think this is card number 6 with these papers – I have lost count…. A lot of matting on this one – 2 lots of papers from the 6″ paper pad, and a couple of doilies – one which I cut on my cuttlebug. The flowers are prima flowers and I added a flourish also cut on the cuttlebug and a strip of lace. The flower in the centre of the big flower is a kaisercraft brand – this is quite a new line for them, but they are terrific to use in the centre of flowers as an alternative to brads.Maybe time to get in the craft room tonight, Til tomorrow…..
