Bo Bunny Primrose card and matching box – number 6
As I have mentioned before I have been making a few cards and matching boxes for my stall in June at the local craft fair, and this was one of them.The card is on the left, and I used stampin up cardstock, matted a couple of papers from Bo Bunny primrose collection, fussy cut the butterflies and flowers along the bottom, and added some Kaisercraft pearl strips. the box is on the right hand side, and I kept the decoration quite simple , using another fussy cut butterfly and a die cut from the same collection. Liquid pearls and a ribbon bow to finish off the decoration on that one. the end of a long working week and I am looking forward to some relaxation time, and some experimenting with some new tools that I will share next week! til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Primrose number 4
I made this card for our card club challenge. We were given a sheet of Bo Bunny Primrose paper and told to make something pretty! I used some other papers in the same collection, and did a bit of fussy cutting too. I added some ribbon that I found in the bottom of my ribbon drawer which matched perfectly with this paper ( see if you keep things long enough sooner or later you find a use for them!), and added a few rhinestones to finish.Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Primrose number 3
Bo Bunny Primrose paper collection. In the same collection are packs of ATC sized cards. I have used one here, on top of a piece of patterned paper. I used some of the papers I had fussy cut in the lower right hand corner, and a fussy cut butterfly with a swirl of prima pearls underneath it. Just added a ribbon bow and done! I spent this afternoon setting up a village lesson , so all lessons sorted for a little while at least! Now to do some crafting for me! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Primrose number 1
Today we start a new series – Bo bunny primrose. I love the soft muted pastel, but thoroughly modern designs of this paper and have made quite a few cards with this collection already.for this one I fussy cut some of the paper around the circle design,and layered other paper onto pink cardstock. I fussy cut the sheet of butterflies, and they feature on most of the cards in this series. Just added a ribbon bow and kindyglitz to finish. Today I have spent a great deal of time working on a new card shape, but I think I have finally worked out all the kinks – not sure if it will be a lesson at some future date yet – may have to practise it a few times myself! Til tomorrow…

Prima Something blue number 1
Recently i bought some of the new Prima Something blue collection. I bought the A4 paper pad and a pack of atc sized cards – I think there were 36 or 48 cards – ( I will check before next blog post and let you know) and these cards had all sorts of images on them. This is the first card I made using them.I did some layering, sponged the edges with tea dye distress ink and rounded my corners. I added some lace and ribbon and liquid pearls, and a vintage style card done! til tomorrow….
fairy card,little girl card.
A couple of weeks ago when I was on a mission to tidy up my paper collection I found some sheets that I had bought while on a trip to Robe, at a little shop on the way there.I can’t tell you the name of the papers, as I can’t recall, but these are some of the cards I made with it. I used stampin up cardstock and sentiment stamps, a scalloped circle die, and some ribbon as well as a little bit of fussy cutting. I like the combination of yellow and pink on the bottom cards! Today in the craft room, I have gone back to my graphic 45 botanical tea paper and have been making a few more Mothers day cards to take around to the school this week. Til tomorrow….
Heartfelt Creations raindrops on roses 1
heartfelt Creations are well known for their embossing folders and dies but did you know they also do ranges of paper? I didn’t until a friend showed me some, and I just had to have some. their paper pads come with papers already designed into card fronts, with enough for cutting your own 3d images, and a range of background papers too.You can make many many cards from just one pad. This card I have made is from the Raindrops on Roses pad, and I just added a ribbon bow and some bling to finish. There are also quite plain designs in the pad as well, and I used one of these inside for writing my greeting on.I hope everyone is having a safe and happy Easter, til tomorrow….
