A group of three xmas cards

O.K. Now I thought I was finished showing my Melissa Francis Deck the halls christmas cards  but I found this group of three in one of my photo files.  I am pretty sure this is it….. I just added ribbon. I did get my moneys worth out of this 6″ pad didn’t I? The seam binding is from Stampin Up. I bought the roll of vanilla because I will colour it with my re – inkers to match my projects. Speaking of which, I have cleared the three projects I was working on so now I will get back to replenishing my market boxes, but I won’t have enough for a december market date. Til tomorrow…..

Deck the Halls 5

This is the fifth and final card in my Melissa Francis Deck the halls series. I just added ribbon, liquid pearls and a xmas charm. I hope you have enjoyed seeing this series as much as I enjoyed making them – beautiful paper to work with. Tomorrow we will have something completely different, and no xmas related at all! Til tomorrow….

Deck the Halls 4

This is number 4 in my Melissa Francis deck the halls series. Only one more to go after this one! I just added ribbon and lace. These cards just make themselves – Don’t you love it when you sit down with a paper collection, and before you know it you have made a dozen cards? It doesn’t happen often to me but when it does ( Like last night) it’s the greatest feeling! I will show last night efforts when Nathan has time to photograph my cards.His camera is still being fixed  so we have to rely on my little camera.Til tomorrow…..

More Xmas!

Upon investigation I have found that I have used 2 different collections for this card, and realise that they really go well together! They are kaisercraft Tis the season ( 6″ paper pad) and Kaisercraft December 25th ( a 12 x 12 sheet full of xmas images – a cost effective way to make your cards) . All I added was an organza ribbbon and some kindyglitz for santas beard! The cardstock is as almost always Stampin Up ( colour – Popppy Parade). I have only made a couple of cards so far with these papers but have put them out on my table and tonight I will get in there with my itchy fingers and make some more! Til tomorrow….

Hunt and Gather

As promised, todays card is a male card, I’ve made a Fathers day card, but it would be just as good as a birthday card. the paper and image is from kaisercraft Hunt and gather range, and I added some mesh ribbon, and a button from my late grans button box which I inherited. Great buttons in there! I am inspired to dig out this paper tonight and make some more male themed cards with it. that’s tonight sorted!  Til tomorrow….

Group of three cards

Today I taught a lesson over at Paper Flourish, and as ever had a good time, and some laughs with my group of mature ladies. Last Friday I taught a lesson at the retirement village and the three cards here are the cards we made. We used kraft cardstock, and Kaisercraft Blae and Ivy 6″ paper pad, along with nestabilities Labels eight dies,assorted flowers,ribbon, sentiment stamps, liquid pearls -platinum, and a stampin up bird punch. Well I only got three of my xmas cards made last night as I got distracted (who knew that would happen?) and ended up making quite a few non xmas related cards. I can see its going to be a long journey for the xmas card making! Til tomorrow…..

Prima Madeline

Another Mothers day card using Prima Madeline patterned paper and die cut stickers, ribbon and some double layered lace. I fell in love with this lace when I saw it in the shop, and had to have it It works well with this style of card.Hope you are all enjoying our extended break – til tomorrow…..
