Kaisercraft xo number 1
In the spirit of valentines day yesterday , for the next few days I am going to put up some cards suitable for weddings,engagements, and anniversaries over the next few days made with kaisercrafts’ recent release xo ( funny name!)Todays card was made with a piece of the paper from the 6″ pad, and a collectables from the matching pack. the red heart was punched, and I added a little flower,pearls ( one appears to have dropped off – will have to replace that!)and a ribbon bow. Absolutely too hot here to do anything but laze around reading a good book. Til tomorrow….
Dressing up my Prima doll stamps
I used some more of the kaisercraft spring bloom paper collection to dress my Prima Doll stamps.I love creating cards with these stamps, and they always look different depending on the colours I use. I also used some of the collectables from the collection, and some fussy cut flowers. the butterfly on the second card is a prima butterfly. Very hot here today, very lazy day! til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Spring bloom
When sorting out my papers I came across some Kaisercraft Spring Bloom paper so quickly put all tidying on hold to make up a couple of cards while inspiration was upon me!The top card just uses the papers and matching collectables, while the bottom card uses a cut out that I did on my Cricut machine and the forever young cartridge.I also used some wee flowers and a leaf and butterfly punch for this one.I kept some of the paper but a lot of it has now gone into a bag to sell at the craft fair in June.It’s tough, but decisions have to be made or else I can’t buy more!speaking of which, I finally got kaisercrafts blue bay, and Betsy’s couture range this week, so something new to play with!Til tomorrow….
Simple Stories the story of us numbers 11 and 12
Here are the last two cards in my simple stories – the story of us series. The top card (anniversary) has just lace and sequins added, while the bottom card just has a bit of fussy cutting and sequins.I did enjoy making these cards – the paper was so easy to work with, and I made all these cards just in one sitting.Love it when that happens.Last night I went to a class to learn how to colour with copic markers, lots to learn all at once, so today I have been in the craft room practising, but I have to get a few more colours before I can complete any of my images.So I moved onto distress ink colouring as I have a lot of images stamped out ready to paint, so no completed work today, just relaxing fun playing with colours! til tomorrow…..
Simple Stories, the story of us 5 and 6..
Simple Stories, the story of us paper collection. the beauty of this paper was that it didn’t need too much else to complete the cards. The top card has some fussy cutting,sequins,ribbon and a leaf punch, while the bottom card has the addition of a doily,flower some sequins and leaf punch.Today I have been busy putting together some Ikea furniture, while Nathan rejigged the sitting room corner where my computer lives.So pleased with myself that I managed to follow the instructions and build my 2 drawer wooden filing cabinet, and I only have a couple of screws and thingmajigs left over. I hope they weren’t integral to the sturdiness of my cabinet! Til tomorrow….
Simple Stories the story of us number 1 and 2
I bought just a few sheets of this collection – Simple stories the story of Us ( I think it’s really meant to be used for scrapbooking pages but I saw lots of card making potential) and made so many cards just in one sitting, that I am going to put them up two at a time otherwise we will be going for quite some time !the top card has quite a bit of product, starting with sequins to match the sequin patterned background, doily,die cut hearts,ribbon, kaisercraft mini flowers,martha stewart leaf punch,liquid pearls and a stampin up sentiment. At the other end of the scale the second card only has a few sequins and a couple of leaf punches. The rest of this one was fussy cut bits from the papers.Throughout the range of Cards that you will see I have used metallic cardstock in gold and / or silver for the matting.This afternoon I have been in the craft room planning April classes – I know I am really getting ahead of myself, but I had some new kaisercraft paper – it was released this month – Betsys couture – and I really wanted to use it for a class and April will be the first opportunity to do so. I love this paper, and can’t wait to start creating my own cards with this range! Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft sandy toes 6 and 7 ..the last..
Here are the last two cards I created with kaisercraft sandy toes.I will revisit the rest of this paper again, once I have finished sorting out that craft room, which may take a little while.The top card uses some 12 x 12 paper and collectables, while the bottom card has the addition of some sequins,a brad, and some prima trim. I love the background paper on the bottom card – makes me feel like you could just dive in and with our weather heating up over the next couple of days finding some cool water to swim in is possibly on the cards!! til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft Sandy Toes 5
Kaisercraft sandy toes .. The background paper is from a piece of 12 x 12 paper, and the rest of the card uses bits and pieces from the 6″pad.A couple of sequins and thats it!Today I have been in the craft room, making a few cards to use up more papers. I am making some headway in the aim to clear some of the backlog of paper, and have made up a few bags of bits,strips and bobs to sell at my craft fair stall in June.The only trouble I am having is seeing the old paper and seeing it with new eyes …and thinking oh, I could do that or that, and then it’s back to the craft table to make more cards, so this is going to be a long job! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft sandy Toes number 4
Kaisercraft sandy Toes paper and matching collectables. The trim ( I love!) is Prima, and I used a kaisercraft sparklet and stampin up cardstock and bitty banner sentiment. Perfect male card right there!I haven’t been in the craft room today, I went over to Paper flourish this morning to drop off my March classes, and ended up visiting all morning! I was looking for some papers to get a head start on April lessons, but while there a new shipment of Kaisercraft Dies came in. I love their dies as they are so easy to use – the dies cuts just fall out – no struggling, so I bought a couple more to add to my growing collection. I don’t think I will buy any other brand now, Kaisercraft seem to be coming out with new ones every month so there is always a good choice.Til tomorrow….
