Kaisercraft Sandy Toes..and a lot of the matching collectables on this one. I inked around all my edges for definition, and added a few sequins.First day of my holidays, and I was going to pick up the new release of Kaisercraft from paper Flourish, but it hasn’t come in yet, so I spent the morning in the craft room finishing off my March classes, and cleaning up my craft table – I can see it again! I have promised myself that I won’t let it get like that again . I have a new 6 drawer cabinet which I have put in the crafting annex to hold all my christmas dies, embossing folders, papers etc, so that may be a job for tomorrow.Til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Sandy Toes number 2
Today we start a new collection – Kaisercraft Sandy toes.Great paper collection for this time of year although we have been lucky here lately – not too hot at all, just lovely sunny days.For this one I did some basic layering, and fussy cut the palm trees from a panel to place at the bottom of the card, stamped a sentiment with a stampin up stamp, and added a few sequins ( my new like) scattered across the card.Now that I have a couple of weeks off I will be visiting spotlight to get a few more colours.Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Rustic harmony (number 7.)
While I was making the stepper cards I made one with Kaisercraft rustic harmony paper, and then made a box to pop it into as it was quite bulky by the time I finished it.Lots of lovely lace trim on the card on the left, and a little more on the box lid on the right. I also used – martha stewart lace doily punch and leaf punch, spellbinders rolled roses and papillion butterflies dies,and Kaisercraft mint pearls.A lovely lazy day today, with a little crafting, and lot of relaxing! til tomorrow….
Card in a box cards
So, I started to go through my papers to have a bit of a cull, and straight away got distracted. This is a kaisercraft paper, a couple of years old ( and I can’t remember the name), and when I bought it I hadn’t learnt how to make these card in a box cards. when I saw the paper again this is the first thing I did with it.I have been through to the card room to try and find the rest of the paper so that I can tell you the name, but I have lost it again, I don’t think I finished it with these cards so I am sure it will turn up again , maybe in another couple of years! Meantime, if anyone knows the name of this collection can they let me know cos it’s going to drive me crazy!Today I have been making baby cards – I had to pull out all the baby card papers to make a special card for a friend, so while it was out I made a few more. Now I have moved onto engagement/wedding cards using kaisercrafts new collection xo ( funny name!!)Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Time to flourish 5…. June.
Todays card is as clean and simple as I get with Graphic 45 paper. A bit of white space left on the card, and a border punched with Martha Stewart lace doily border punch, ribbon and fussy cutting.Til tomorrow….
Graphic 45 Time to flourish 2 June.
Card number 2 made from graphic 45 Time to flourish ( June sheets) . It’s no wonder I started with this month in the 12 x 12 paper pad – these colours together are my favourite!I fussy cut another rose and a piece of the border trim, and added a ribbon bow, lace and some liquid pearls. the cardstock is Stampin Up baja breeze, sadly retired, but I bought up big on this colour before it disappeared! til tomorrow….
graphic 45 Time to Flourish June..number 1
graphic 45 Time to Flourish ..the June papers. I think by now you all know how I feel about Graphic 45 papers,so we will get straight into the description!One layer on my cardstock ( stampin up pink piroutte) with a corner rolled down and a brad to hold it in place. I punched a border with Martha Stewart lace doily punch – this is my second one – I wore the first punch out…and a piece of lace trim and little bows over the top.The rose was fussy cut from the paper.I have taught a couple of classes this week, and had a great time with my ladies.I have also made a couple of purchases – some flowers ( can never have enough) and a few copic markers – yes I have given in and bought some. I had bought quite a few kaisercraft fusion markers, but they dry out very quickly and it appears that they have been discontinued so, really if I want to keep colouring I had no choice. we will see how I get on with them! til tomorrow…..
Kaisercraft flourish die with Tropical Punch collection
These two cards were made with Kaisercraft tropical Punch collection( including the sticker sheet)and a flourish die, also by Kaisercraft. It is a big flourish, so I used it as the focus on the top card, but on the lower card I cut it up into pieces.Of all the brands of dies I have used, these dies from kaisercraft are the best when it comes to removing your paper or cardstock from the die – usually they just fall out!Wouldn’t the flourish make a great tail for a bird? May have to experiment with that idea! Til tomorrow….
More ideas with dies
The paper I used here is Tropical Punch by Kaisercraft, and the Die is also by kaisercraft. I die cut the feather and ran it through the cuttlebug swiss dots folder. I used the off cut from the feather die to sponge through to create the inked images on the patterned paper.( tea Dye distress ink).A flower, punched leaf,and bir ribbon bow and this one was complete! Til tomorrow…
A die with a twist..
A little while ago I filmed a youtube clip for Paper Flourish showcasing some kaisercraft dies.The two dies I used were the flourish die and the feather die. This is one of the cards I created using these dies and some kaisercraft tropical punch paper. I die cut the feather, and then used the piece I would normally throw away – inked the edges with Tea dye distress ink, and backed it with some tropical punch paper. I love this effect and it has made me look at all my off cuts in a different way! I just added a doily, bling,flower and bakers twine to finish a different style of card for me.Oh, and I love kaisercraft dies. of all the dies I have used these ones cut the easiest – just fall away. no poking required.Til tomorrow….
