Here is the second card I have made using Graphic 45 sweet sentiments.( this is the last for now until we photo the Easter cards I made). The bottom layer of this one is actually My Minds Eye paper but it seemed to match so well and it was an odd piece of paper that I had so I used it!. All my layers were inked with Ranger distress ink – Tea Dye, and I added a charm tied with linen thread to the top left hand corner.I have been busy in the craft room this afternoon making up some orders, but I am heading back in there now to play around with some ideas I have.. til tomorrow….

Graphic 45 Sweet sentiments number 1
I bought a 12 x 12 pad of Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments paper, and there are lots of images on this paper for valentines day cards and easter cards. This week I have been making some Easter cards , but previously I made a couple of valentines Day cards – this is the first one.Nothing on this card except for the papers – layered and fussy cut. Some fancy photography by Nathan managed to put an image of the inside of the card on the right hand side of the card front.the layer of paper used on the inside is actually My Minds Eye now that I look closely!That crossover of paper companys very rarely happens in my world! I taught a lovely class of ladies this morning, and I am looking forward to a long weekend of crafting. Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Velvet Crush number 5
This is the last in my Kaisercraft Velvet Crush series for now, have a few more to photo this weekend so we haven’t seen the last of this paper!. For this one I used the 6″ pad for the background layer, and the frame was fussy cut from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper. the butterflies are from the matching collectables, and to finish I added some rhinestones, and rounded the corners with my corner rounder. the cardstock is by Stampin up.Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft Velvet Crush number 4
Sorry I missed yesterdays post, but I had an urgent order, so it was cook tea and straight into the craft room last night! Todays card is still using the kaisercraft velvet crush collection, and I used the 6 ” pad, collectables, and a piece of the 12 x 12 paper fussy cut the label at the back – it had words printed on it that I didn’t really want to use so I layered another label on top, just another way to use the labels and tags in this collection.To finish – rhinestones and a ribbon bow.The cardstock and sentiment stamp is from Stampin Up. Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Velvet Crush number 2
Kaisercraft velvet Crush… 6 ” pad for the background mat, and butterflies also fussy cut from a piece of the pad.

Graphic 45 couture collection number 8
Sorry I have been missing for the last couple of days but it has been too hot to sit at the computer – it’s still hot, but we are waiting for a cool change to come in, can’t wait!For todays card I have used some of a 12 x 12 paper, and added quite a bit of fussy cut pieces to it trying to effect a collage effect! i used some stampin up cardstock in black for the card base. We will take a short break from this range so that I can post some of the cards I have been making with Kaisercraft Velvet crush.. gorgeous pinks and purples……and return to graphic 45 couture collection next week… til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 couture collection number 7
Number 7 in my Graphic 45 Couture collection series, and for this one I used a sheet of the 6″ pad for the background paper ( so glad I bought this pad along with the 12 x 12 sheets – it’s all small patterns – perfect for the background layer because as it turns out I fussy cut just about every sheet of the 12 x 12!)and then a collection of fussy cut images from the 12 x 12 papers. I sat over the course of a few evenings watching tv and just fussy cutting, so I have a lovely container of images to delve into already for decorating my cards. I tend to do this now as soon as I bring home any new papers, so that when I get time to create all the hard work is done. Super hot here today, but the rain, thunder and lightening has just started so its going to be very humid shortly.Not nice. I have spent today resting my foot, and it’s back to work for me tomorrow,hopefully all that pain is behind me now. Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 number 6
For this graphic 45 couture collection card I used some of the papers from the 6″ pad for the background layers, and fussy cut a couple of images and flowers from some of the 12 x 12 papers.I was off to the Dr. today who sent me straight off to the x-ray and ultrasound man who proceeded to inject cortisone into my heel, so no crafting today and no walking either – at the moment I can’t even feel my left foot…I wasn’t expecting that when I woke up this morning!~ til tomorrow….
