Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 3
Still with Bo Bunny Prairie Chic paper collection,I used Stampin Up cardstock and sentiment stamp, and added a kaisercraft flower and some string to finish.An early finish from work today, so spent a little time in the craft room planning out some lessons. I was playing with some new dies from couture creations, and I must say I am most impressed with how they perform through my big shot machine, easy to remove and a good cut first time through the machine.Worth a look! til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 2
Bo bunny Prairie Chic 12 x 12 papers, Stampin Up Blushing Bride cardstock and sentiment stamp, and string and flower.Very little product on this card, but one of my favourites! today, after washing,cooking and housework, I sat down in the craft room,( where I finally unearthed my table)and did some stamping and embossing, just for a change. i have a new sizzix embossing machine – like my big shot, but just embosses, and wanted to try it out. I purchased it because it is a much more compact size than the big shot, more portable, and easier to fit on my table,so I should use my embossing folders much more now that I have a handy gadget close to hand! til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Prairie Chic number 1
I have had this paper since before christmas, but have only just found time to use it. For this card I used stampin Up Marina mist cardstock, the Bo Bunny Prairie Chic papers ( 12 x 12) and just some string and a flower.Some work needs to be done in the craft room this weekend as I can barely get in the door.Things have not found their way to their allocated space, and it is all a bit of a disaster in there! So not so much cardmaking as spring cleaning happening over the next day or two… Til tomorrow…
Prima doll stamp with velvet crush (10)
I promised myself I wasn’t going to get hooked on the prima doll stamps by Julie Nutting, but.. oh well whats a girl to do? Although I do colour, I much prefer to use these stamps with gorgeous patterned papers, so the only thing I coloured was the hair. the rest has been stamped onto patterned paper and paper pieced together. the paper I used on this one was Kaisercraft Velvet Crush, and for the skin tones i used an old sheet of websters Pages that I had filed away.most paper collections that are released have one sheet that would be suitable for skin tones, so this plan should work for me all the time!the butterflies are from the sticker sheet that was released with velvet crush,and I added a ribbon bow to finish. I taught a very busy class this morning and was grateful to a very dear friend for her help with a lady new to cardmaking, without her help I would have had a class that severely ran over time!I bought a big bag of goodies after class, and can’t wait to sit down tonight after tea and have a good look at what I picked up. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Telegraph Road number 2
Todays Kaisecraft Telegraph Road card uses a corner of a 12 x12 sheet and the matching collectables. I was going for a collage effect, so layered a few of the collectables on top of easch other.

Til tomorrow…..

Til tomorrow…
