Did some border punching,and added ribbon, flowers, lace and liquid pearls. The sentiment is from Stampin Up Petite pairs set.My working week is over, so I will be in the craft room tonight finalising an order, and playing with the new kaisercraft range. Til tomorrow….

Spellbinders labels seventeen number 3
There are two views of todays card, because the is a bit of work on the inside as well as the outside! I covered the front of the card ( all papers used are Kaisercraft Miss Nelly) and used the spellbinders label seventeen to die cut an aperture. The piece that was cut out was stuck inside on top of some more patterned paper, and I added a couple of butterflies die cut from Cheery Lyn exotic butterfly small #2. just added some bright ribbon and bling to finish.This is a simple card to make but looks really effective, and I must remember to make more like this!

madison window die – christmas 2
This is the last card for now, that I have to show using my Madison window die ( from poppystamps).The brick wall background is my tim Holtz Bricked wall embossing folder which I inked before running it through the cuttlebug. As with yesterdays card I added a little lace behind the window for curtains, and I used a stampin Up christmas stamp for the view inside the window. The grass is done using the grassland die also from poppystamps.I have been so busy this week, not much crafting happening – I hope to get into my room tomorrow for a little while – I am missing my crafting!

All stampin Up nature card
Todays card is a favourite. I lean towards nature inspired cards when I am making cards just for fun, and this one is no exception.The designer paper is from Stampin up – it’s a retired collection, but I bought up big when it was available because I fell in love with it!Cardstock is stampin up early espresso and very vanilla, and I used my stampin up designer frames embossing folder and labels collection framelits. I punched out the centre of the embossed oval with an oval punch, and stamped an image from Stampin up organic grace stamp set to set behind the resulting frame.a little linen twine and a stamped and cut out butterfly finished off this one.I have completed a card order today, and now I am starting to organise my january classes, which will be here before I know it! Til tomorrow….
Pretty cuttlebug
Todays card is all cuttlebug. The cuttlebug folder used is folder that cuts and embosses at the same time, and I used a Stampin Up designer frames folder for the embossed oval behind, and an oval punch for the greeting. The cardstock is stampin up whisper white and pink pirouette,martha stewart butterfly punch, and flowers and ribbon to finish! Have received some orders today, so the next couple of days will be spent doing them – lucky they aren’t xmas as all that is packed away1 Til tomorrow….
Cuttlebug card 3
I hope all my american friends had a safe and happy Thanksgiving! Todays card uses some very old paper ( I think it’s daisy D’s) which I found in the back of a cupboard whilst looking for something else..and I gave my cuttlebug a workout as well. Here’s the list – Stampin Up – Pink pirouette, crumbcake, and whisper white cardstock, curly cute sentiment,ribbon , brad,and party blossom die.The rest – a circle punch, and spellbinders Picot edge circles and Classic edges 2 edgeabilities. Speaking of which, a couple of posts down I loved a border that I used but couldn’t remember what it was – well there it is – Spellbinders Edgeabilities classic edges 2 die . So glad I rediscovered it, and will be giving it a workout this weekend!I had a lovely morning teaching a class at Paper flourish,and while I was there I bought some Prismacolor pencils so I will be experimenting with them this weekend too, so plenty to keep me busy! Til tomorrow…

Hare is another card in a box – these have taken off, and I am inundated with orders for them at the moment.

I have a class with my lovely ladies tomorrow, so must go and pack my bag in readiness – til tomorrow….
Christmas Front door card
I came up with this christmas front door card, and tried out 3 variations before I settled on the far right one as the one to go with. It’s quite easy to put together as it’s panels of card which I have hand embossed around,( stampin Up naturals ivory) and made the wreath with punched leaves, a ribbon bow and some liquid pearls in red, and kindyglitz. Don’t forget the door knob! Inside I wanted to look like a mantle piece so used two pieces of patterned paper ( kaisercraft twig and berries) and my stampin up stocking punch . I made little christmas cards to put across the top of my mantle piece using images from a piece of graphic 45 paper.My holidays are over, and I am back at work, so a little worn out, and may not make it into the craft room tonight – we will see! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft periwinkle 2
Here is the only other card I have had time to make using Kaisercraft Periwinkle paper. I punched a border with E.K. Success fan border punch, which I have been using a lot lately,and the bird is a stamp from Oxford Impressions Nature set. I can’t tell you where the leaf stamps are from – I have looked in my room – it’s a disaster area in there at the moment, and I can’t lay my hands on the stamp set used, but I do know I stamped them on white and coloured them with distress inks and a sponge dauber. I have had a lovely day with my Mum, visiting the craft shops, and looking at all the new releases, ahh, so much product, not enough crafting time! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Periwinkle number 1
Here is another kaisercraft collection that I purchased last month, but due to the volume of christmas cards I have made, I haven’t had time to fully explore. I have managed to make a couple which I will post today and tomorrow, hopefully I will get back to it soon… collection is Kaisercraft Periwinkle, and I have also used the matching collectables here. The cardstock is Stampin Up early esspresso, and the sentiment is also stampin up. I tied a big ribbon for a bit of added interest, and sponged the bird in a matching shade to tie it all in. I am in the craft room today, have made another 10 cards using kaisercraft turtle dove – that brings the total up to 40! great collection.I am not going to photo them as I think you are all over that particular collection. I have moved on to boys cards, and will be photoing them. Til tomorrow…
