Kaisercraft Little One paper collection and collectables.I had this paper out for a different reason, which I will show you all next time, but while it was out I did a couple of quick cards with it to top up my boxes.Very minimal embellishing on these ones, just my go -to ribbon, and a few buttons. I found a few heart shaped buttons in my stash and thought they were perfect for these cards. a welcome day off today, and the grocery shopping is done so i will spend a couple of hours in the craft room. I haven’t been in there much lately, it’s been too hot, and still is, but my fingers are itching to sit down and create, so I will get in the zone and ignore the weather! thank you all for your comments, I feel we are building a lovely card making community and I so enjoy hearing from all of you! til tomorrow…..

kaisercraft telegraph road.
I made these cards for a village class, so I kept them quite simple. The paper is from kaisercraft – telegraph road,and I added some lace, ribbon and flowers,punched leaves and stamped sentiments.Well, we are still hot here in adelaide,so far this month we haven’t had a day under 25c, so quite looking forward to winter this year!! I started work super early today, so home early, I am going to prepare some tea, and have a nice seat under the air conditioner duct with my book. Til tomorrow….
embedded embossing with kaisercraft secret garden
The last of kaisercraft secret garden paper collection ( for now) and matching collectables, as well as a die cut butterfly ( memory box die) doily, ribbon and bling. the reason I kept this one til last was to show you the embedded embossing technique. I had a lot of little bits and strips of paper so I stuck them all on some white cardstock – i inked around all the edges and left a little bit of white space between each strip, then i ran the whole thing through an embossing folder and my big -shot. The embossing folder I used was a kaisercraft one – postcards I think it was called, but you can use any folder as long as it has quite a close design over it, its fun to experiment with this technique and a brilliant way to use up those little strips of patterned paper we just can’t bring ourselves to throw out! We have had a power outage for most of the day today, so nothing much done but a bit of reading. Thank goodness it’s back on now so the air conditioner is working double time to cool the house down! Til tomorrow…
Secret Garden ..
WordPress has changed how I post on my blog, and I don’t like it! even Nathan my go to techie son is having problems, so I hope this works! Todays card is still kaisercraft Secret garden,the second to last card in this series ( for now) I couldn’t lose this paper, and have filed it away for future card making. This card has lots of goodies on it – punched leaves and butterflies,ribbon, lace ( a find from a country second hand shop), a doily,flowers and a collectable doily as well. i think this is my favourite, but I do love this paper. Today is a lovely day here weather wise, not too hot, so a good day for a bit of house keeping before a couple of hours in the craft room. til tomorrow….
The last two My Minds eye….
Here are the last two cards I made with My minds Eye My story paper collection, and chipboard elements. The only thing I added to these two was a little bit of gold twine. I have enjoyed playing with this collection and will revisit it again to use up all the leftovers when I have made some cards with the new collections I bought over christmas and haven’t cut into yet!Meanwhile today in the craft room with all lessons up to date I am creating with some graphic 45 and then will move on to some very old paper collections to start my new years resolution which is to use it or clear it out!Til tomorow…..
My Minds Eye My story number 7…
My minds eye My story paper collection ( the 6″ pad) and fussy cut butterflies from the same paper collection. I threaded the chipboard banner elements onto some gold twine,and just added a few sequins to finish this one. I have one more lesson to set up today, so I will take the little puppy into the craft room with me and attempt to teach her craft room etiquette! She is settling in well here, and our older dog Foxy tolerates her – they will be very good friends when she calms down a little bit! Our weather is still very warm over the 30C for days now and no end in sight but thats ok – better than over the 40c!! Til tomorrow….

The top card has some sequins and a ribbon bow, and the bottom card lets the paper speak for itself. i have a class this morning and I am looking forward to seeing my ladies – it feels like ages since we all got together before Christmas! Til tomorrow…..
My Minds Eye My Story 3 and 4..
Today we will continue on with My Minds eye paper collection,(6″ pad) and matching chipboard elements for these two cards.I added lace and ribbon on the top card, and flowers, gold twine and sequins on the lower card. We have a new puppy here at home, her name is Luna and she is 8 weeks old.I had forgotten how energetic and inquisitive little puppies were, and we have to make sure my craft room door is kept closed – she can’t go in there unsupervised – there was nearly an inking mishap when she thought the top of my distress re-inker bottles would be good to chew on.Anyway, she is good company for Nathan and is keeping him on his toes! Til tomorrow….
My Minds eye My story 1…

Kaisercraft a Touch of Gold special age cards
I have started to make age cards as I often get asked for them and it would be good to have a few pre -made, so you may see a few of them until I build up my stocks, of course if you are casing you don’t have to add the numbers. I have a terrific number die ( Kaisercraft) which I have been using on all my age cards, and I like to die cut the numbers out of glitter or foil card.The paper on today’s cards is from Kaisercraft called A Touch of Gold,and the die cut I used for the banner is by Kaisercraft as well. I added some gold sequins,and Stampin up gold twine. I did go into the craft room yesterday and spent a few hours preparing my February lessons, so just have a village lesson to sort out and I am up to date for a couple of weeks! til tomorrow….
