Due to all the posts i have missed because of the loss of our internet over the last few weeks, I have a back log of cards to show, so for the next week or so I will post a couple each night to try and catch up, so tonight we have two cards i made using Kaisercraft Sears and son paper and matching collectables.Both these cards have the same theme -of using the collectables to make a rosette, and I think it works quite well. I inked around all my edges with tea dye distress ink. I have made a few more christmas cards today, but I have to stop making for now and put in all the inserts – a bit boring, and a job that I seem to leave until I can’t ignore the pile any longer! Til tomorrow…

Kaisercraft Sears and son male cards
We will keep going with the ideas for male cards, this time using Kaisercraft Sears and son paper collection. This was one they released last year, but I haven’t found anything since that comes close to making good cards for men. This one uses a piece of the 12 x 12 paper, scraps of other matching papers, and one of the collectables out of the matching pack. I went to town on the distressing, and then inked around everything with Tea dye ink.It’s been a great day in the craft room today, I did a couple of cards for orders, just a couple more to do, and I did a couple of cards for various challenges, as well as digging out my graphic 45 french country papers and playing with that – that is still out on my table, so I am heading back there now to continue while the ideas are flowing! Til tomomorrow….
Countryside stamp set
Here is a male birthday card I made using a stamp from Stampin Up – Countryside stamp set. i also made one very similar for fathers Day using this same stamp. The cardstock is Stampin Up Early espresso and a light green which has since been retired. I embossed the light green layer with Sizzix brick wall embossing folder, and added a button for some texture. The sentiment is from Itty Bitty Banners by stampin up. Today was the retirement village ladies Christmas card marathon for the troops, so I popped over there after work for a couple of hours – just in time for a lovely lunch, and was amazed at the display covering quite a few tables of the 300 cards they had made! Well done ladies – what an effort! Til tomorrow…..
Ruby Rocket number 3
This is the last card that I made using Ruby Rocket Cook papers.Again I made a paper bow and inked around the edges with tea dye ink. I used a doily and the sentiment is from Stampin Up Vintage labels set. I added a couple of flowers and a bit of a tag from the papers to finish. Many distractions here just now, so hope this post makes sense1 Til tomorrow….
Ruby Rocket number 2
I used all kinds o bits and pieces for this card – the papers are Ruby Rocket Cook, and I found some ( very old) ric rac in the bottom of my sewing box, some chipboard pieces that I think came off the front of a magazine as a freebie, a button and some thread, and I made a paper bow which I inked around with tim holtz tea dye ink. I really like the paper bow, and will be making more cards with these on them!All that was left to do was to add a flower, and stamp the sentiment.No cards tonight – after my evening out last night there are a few jobs to do around here , so Til tomorrow…..
Ruby Rocket Cook number 1
Tonights card is made with some paper that i picked up – Ruby Rocket Cook. I loved the homespun feel of this paper, and bought just a few sheets,and have made a few cards with it, with still plenty left for another time!For this first card I punched out squares from each of the papers, inked around the edges with tim holtz tea dye distress ink, and layered them on to another sheet of paper. I die cut a circle for the greeting, and added buttons and a flower to finish. Quick post tonight as I have a work function that I am attending, so must go and get organised. Til tomorrow….
kaisercraft holly bright number 6
For the third weekend in a row we have no net service, and it’s only through the wizardry of nathan that I am here today – really starting to lose patience now!! Anyway enough grumbling. Todays card is very similar to one that we did in my class yesterday, square base which is a little different for me, but I am getting used to working on a bigger surface now. The paper is Kaisercraft Holly Bright – we only have a couple more cards left in this group before we move on to something else – and for this card I used the 12 x 12 sheets, and did a little fussy cutting. I have spent the day in the craft room preparing all my september classes. After tea I will pop back in there and make a few cards for my market boxes, which have been sadly neglected of late.Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 5
A square card today, and I covered the base with a dark beige piece of kaisercard – I can’t remember the name of the colour , but it works well with this range of kaisercraft Holly Bright paper. I used a push out and a piecs of patterned paper from the 6″ pad, popped a mistletoe collectable behind, and cut a greeting from the 12 x 12 paper that has 36 different greetings on it( Great value). Some ribbon across the join, and a bow and we are done. Terrific class today, creating with this range of paper,and now I am off to the craft room to sit down and see what happens! Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 4
Hi everyone! We are still working our way through the cards I made with Kaisercraft Holly Bright paper collection, and for this one I used the paper pad for the background and a collectable fvor the sentiment. I fussy cut the flowers, leaves and pine cone from a piece of the 12 x 12 paper. The cardstock on all the cards in this group so far has been Stampin up cardstock. Quick post tonight, as I must head off to cook tea.Til tomorrow….
Holly Bright number 3
Kaisercraft Holly Bright 12 x12 papers for this one, and also the matching collectables. A little bit of matting, a rhinestone or two, and a chomp out of the corners, and this one is done! Tonight I am going to be thinking about my september classes and my even do a card or two! Til tomorrow….
