Here is number 2 in my Graphic 45 Little darlings series. Have i said how much I like these pastel colours? I used bazzil cardstock, only because stampin Up don’t do a soft apricot cardstock – a shame – and some ribbon, lace and kindyglitz. Today I have gone back to my resolution of actually finishing some of the paper collections I have, and I have dug out a range of Kaisercrafts from last year – English Rose. You know it is quite amazing how many cards you can get out of one 6″ pad. One day I will actually count how many I manage…. Til tomorrow…

Upsy daisy
I have been using these two colours a lot this week, but I didn’t have ribbon to match, so I dyed my own using my little spray mister, a little water and a few drops of re -inker. Whenever I but an ink pad I also buy a bottle of refill ink, and this comes in handy for jobs just like this. The ribbon was originally stampin up whisper white taffeta ribbon, and when I had dyed my ribbon I still had some mix in my spray bottle, and not wanting to waste it I sprayed this piece of Stampin Up confetti Ivory cardstock. I like the effect it has created, and I will be experimenting more with this technique. I stamped Stampin Up Upsy daisy stamp and black embossed it. The greeting is Stampin Up four frames stamp, and petite pairs, and it was punched out with a matching decorative punch. This is a new set for me, I have been using them a lot so you will see more of them! The background card colours are Stampin Up calypso coral and Pool party. Today I have planned out my April paper flourish lesson – I am so far ahead now when it comes time to do that class I will have forgotten what I did!And I have been playing with the new graphic 45 papers which are beautiful… Til tomorrow….
revisiting sweet nothings part 2
Hello and welcome to my new subscriber! Tonight I have a simple card made using a bit of 12 x 12 paper from Kaisercraft sweet nothings collection and the matching collectables. All I added was a ribbon bow and a few flowers, ( and a little kindyglitz). The sentiment in the middle is stamped with Stampin Up Perfectly Penned… I do like this stamp and am getting so much use out of it.The paper is a favourite too, and I have still so much of it left so I will be using it for some of my Mothers day cards. I will be in the craft room tonight .I have quite a few orders to put together so they will keep me busy for the next few days. Til tomorrow….
Sweet Nothings revisited
Today I have gone back to a kaisercraft Paper collection called sweet nothings. I have already posted a few cards made with this paper and I have a couple more in my file. here I used the 6″ paper pad and decorated with Prima flower and leaves, and a little ribbon. I installed my new most amazing shelving unit last night and it is full.. Now I can’t fit another one in my little room, so I am going to have to work very hard to use up the papers I have before I buy more. I think I hear my sister Kay snickering in disbelief…Til tomorrow..
stamped Lil Primrose
I do like stamping – I just don’t do it very often because the papers take over! I particularly like stamps that I can use in a way that combines stamping with my love of fussy cutting so when I saw this little girl stamp from Kaisercrafts new range Lil Primrose I thought this is the stamp for me! I stamped her 3 times on to different scrap pieces of Kaisercraft Lil primrose 6″ paper pad, and cut out elements from each one to make up the whole – no colouring! All theother papers on the card are from the same range, I fussy cut the flowers down the bottom and added a little liquid pearls to the centres, and added a ribbon bow. The cardstock is Stampin Up Blushing Bride. I have spent some time in the craft room today and am heading back in there now…. Til tomorrow….
La di Da group 2
Here are the other 2 cards I made with my Kaisercraft La di da 6″paper pad. I really like the bright clean colours of this paper,and all I added was a little ribbon, some bling and butterflies punched with my Martha Stewart Butterfly punch. the rest was fussy cut from the paper pad. I am hoping to spend an hour in the craft room tonight, I have an order to fulfil, so have a project in mind! Til tomorrow….
La di da…
A quick post tonight as it is shopping night… This is an old Kaisercraft range, but I was lucky enough to be given a 6″ pad, – it’s called La Di da, and here are two cards i have made from it . I just did a bit of fussy cutting, used my Martha Stewart picket fence punch, and added ribbon, bling and some hot pink netting cut into circles and gathered. Til tomorrow….
Wedding Card and Cuttlebug
I got the idea for this card from a magazine, but I didn’t have any of the supplies they used so I improvised and this is what I came up with… the list of products used is quite long so here goes… I used Pearlescent cardstock in pink,my Tim holtz sizzix vintage car die through my cuttlebug, spellbinders die labels 14,tattered florals sizzix die,banner cut using my cricut and Heritage cartridge,Prima Botanicals patterned paper, Stampin Up Perfectly penned and Marry Me stamps for sentiments, and various flowers,ribbon and a Maya road stick pin.Every thing was inked around the edges with victorian velvet distress ink.I have spent a lovely day in the craft room, it’s a lot cooler here today, back to work tomorrowbut it’s been a lovely 5 day break.. Til tomorrow….
Group of Lil Primrose
I found some more Kaisercraft Lil Primrose cards in my photo files, so thought I would put them up today. I have used the 6″ paper pad and matching Kaisercraft Lil Primrose collectables, and assorted ribbon and flowers . A very, very quiet day at the market today, and very warm and muggy in the big shed, a relief to get home and have a cool shower !A little tired after the early start to the day, so I will probably not visit the craft room later… we will see… Til tomorrow…
another use for stocking punch
O.k. My web master is not here, and my blog is doing strange things – hopefully you will all be able to see the photo and read my bit – I packed up all my xmas card making bits and pieces, and as I had my Stampin up stocking punch in my hand I remembered a card I had seen elsewhere which used said punch as baby bootees, so here is my take on it…I have used Kaisercraft Lullaby papers and a Martha Stewart punch, and some ribbon as well.Another hot day here in Adelaide – No crafting tonight , but I must pack my car ready for the market tomorrow, Til tomorrow….
