Anoher card made from Authentique devoted patterned paper, this time it was for my sons girlfriends 21st birthday. The cardstock is from stampin up, and I added a row of lace and pleated ribbon, and a bow at the bottom of the card, and a key at the top. We have a wedding today, in the botanic gardens which should be lovely as its a perfect day here, and then off to the town hall for the reception. Looking forward to the day, I must go and prepare myself! til tomorrow…..

Authentique Devoted number 1..
Yesterday was one of my sisters’ birthday and this is the card i made for her as she has a little dog the same as this one! The paper is a new collection from Authentique ( love the feel and quality of this companys paper) and I just did lots of layering, corner rounding, inking of edges, and added ribbon, lace and a prima flower spray. The cardstock is from stampin up.I am off today to teach a class, looking forward to seeing my ladies. it’s going to be a hot day here today.. we seem to have skipped spring and headed straight into summer this year!

silver bells side stepper card
A quick post tonight, while tea is in the oven! This is my simplified version of a side stepper card. i have played around with the measurements so that it fits in a normal c6 envelope for ease of posting, and its just one cut and a few folds. I did a class with these and everyone got the gist of them very quickly! In a couple of weeks when I am on holidays Nathan and I will do a youtube video with all the measurements!In the meantime for the decoration I used Kaisercraft silver bells patterned paper, and inked all the edges with tea dye distress ink, and added a lovely silk bow, and some lace on the very back panel.Oops theres tea ready.. til tomorrow…..
christmas satmping,colouring and die cutting
A break from pretty patterned papers, and a couple of cards made using different techniques. The top card is a base made from stampin up cardstock ( mossy meadow) and a new kaisercraft christmas tree die which i die cut from glitter cardstock. I decorated the tree with small baubles fussy cut from a piece of stampin up home for christmas designer paper. The second card is coloured with copics, and the stamp is one from C.C.Designs called candle light. a ribbon bow and sentiment stamped with a stampin up curly cute stamp and that one was done! what a busy weekend, but off now to the craft room for an hour or two to relax a little bit! til tomorrow….
using scraps for christmas…
After I had made a few of the previous card ( with the window die-cut)Â I was left with lots of little white square off cuts, and never one to miss an opportunity i came up with these two cards to use them up. I fussy cut lots of little images from the Stampin Up home for Christmas paper,and arranged them on the squares. Some I left flat and some I mounted with 3d foam pads. A really easy way to use up the scraps! Great class today, we did gate fold cards using the gorgeous kaisercraft silver bells paper, and all the ladies enjoyed themselves, always a good thing! Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up home for christmas continued…
I thought we would continue on with this series ( stampin Up home for Christmas designer paper) for the next day or two, the papers in this range are all so different you would never guess all these cards were made with the same collection. Todays card uses some of the paper as the “wall”, and I put a piece behind the die cut ( memory box die) window. The tree , presents and holly were fussy cut from more sheets from this collection.The cat was stamped from a stamp set from stampin up called festive fireplace and coloured and cut out. I have been making more cards from this collection toady, because I haven’t even scratched the creative surface with this one, but it’s back to work tomorrow, got to love a long weekend though!Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Home for Christmas designer paper..
A short break from the kaisercraft silver bells paper, and today a couple of cards I made with Stampin Up designer paper Home for Christmas, and the stampin up woodland embossing folder. The top card is the simpler version, for the bottom card i stepped it up a little.wheres the paper you say? I cut these gorgeous little deers from the paper and created a little scene by adding some punched greenery and stamping and fussy cutting the little bird.To step it up a little on the bottom card I inked some of the raised embossing, and ripped up up some white cardstock which I stuck glitter toand then raised the pieces with some 3d foam pads on the lower portion of the card. I really enjoyed making these ones, my favourites by far this year! A lazy day today, prepared some lessons for november, and this afternoon I have been experimenting with my perfect pearls powder, adding some water to it and colouring ,it makes the most lovely shimmery paint and now I am off to put my finished painted pieces onto cards.Til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft silver bells 7,8,and 9
3 cards today, all made with Kaisercraft Silver bells paper collection and matching collectables. I put these ones up altogether in this post as the are all following a similar design using the baubles from the collectables pack and the sheet of 12 x 12 paper ( which I fussy cut out). Silver ribbon and little bows for interest, and the greetings are from the papers. day off today and I am on my way to the dentist. Nothing major, just a little filling, but not fun all the same. Its a glorious day here in adelaide, much too nice to be stuck in the dental surgery! til tomorrow…..
kaisercraft botanica tri shutter cards
A little break from Christmas today. I have been practising making these tri shutter cards.I find them a little fiddley, still working on a simpler way to do them, but I like the effect so I will perservere. All paper is from the kaisercraft botanica 6″ pad, and I used a couple of the matching collectables and prima flowers and ribbon.I also inked all around my edges with tea dye distress ink to define the papers.the happy birthday die cut is a spellbinders die, but i see kaisercraft have brought out a happy birthday die this month, so i will have to investigate because I love the way they cut. Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Silver bells paper collection and matching collectables.
