First of all and straight off the bat, a mistake! last nights post wasn’t Kaisercraft sandy toes …it was Prima Seashore collection!A mistake on my part, and I can only blame tiredness.. working retail at Christmas is taking it’s toll, and I am so glad I only have one more day before a 4 day break.So. Tonights card is also Prima Seashore collection – the 12 x 12 papers, and I used a stampin up boat stamp on the paper panel, and added a little more blue distress ink around the stamped image. A bit of fussy cutting and a piece of linen thread to finish.Til tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft sandy toes number 1
As today is so hot here I thought it would be a good idea to put up a card that makes me feel cool while I look at it! The paper collection is a new release from Kaisercraft – Sandy toes, and is full of lovely patterns and cool colours.I inked around all my edges with shades of blue and green distress ink, and added a bit more colour to the panel with the ship on it too.Wound a little linen thread around my main panel, and added a charm to finish.I am off now to finish wrapping some presents, and then I think I am all organised for Christmas! til tomorrow…..
Pink Paislee Bella Rouge and C C Designs stamp
Two very similar cards today,both made with pink paislee bella Rouge paper collection, and stamped with C C Designs Cupcake Birgitta stamp. I coloured the image with Kaiserfusion markers,and added assorted flowers and a ribbon bow. the spellbinders dies I used were Timeless Triangles and opulent Ovals.Such a busy time of the year! No time for crafting so far this weekend, but I am going to go now and sit down with some stamped out images and my bottles of re-inkers and relax in front of the tv and do some colouring so that when I do get back to the craft room I have some images coloured and ready to go!Til tomorrow…..
Secret Garden and Bloom with hope stamps
Still with the stamped cards, and for this card I used two stamps sets, Stampin up bloom with hope and Secret garden. I stamped the greenery straight on to my card base, and stamped the flowers separately onto scrap white card stock, and coloured in with kaiser fusion markers.I then fussy cut them out and stuck onto the card with foam pads of varying thicknesses.The butterfly is a spellbinders die and I used some liquid pearls for a butterfly trail!Til tomorrow….
Stampin Up Sweet Briar rose
In between playing with paper I like to do a bit of stamping and colouring.The stamp I used on these cards is from stampin Up – Sweet Briar rose. I coloured it with Prisma colour pencils, and kept the rest of the cards white. I used a few different dies – spellbinders Opulent ovals,magnolia flourish and Memory box Kaliadescope butterfly. Added a few white pearls to the butterflies, and layered it all on a piece of cardstock embossed with cuttlebug swiss dots folder.Til tomorrow…
Kaisercraft tropical Punch 5 and 6
Here are the last two ( for now) cards made with Kaisercraft Tropical Punch.Again I have used the 12 x 12 papers ( so still a whole 6″ pad to use later!)and on the top card matching collectables.Admittedly the bottom card was made with lots of leftover bits on my table!So busy at work just now I haven’t the energy for the craft room, but certainly looking forward to the Christmas break to relax in there! Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Tropical Punch 3 and 4
These bright colours certainly make a change from all the shades of red and green we have been working with! Both of todays cards use the 12 x 12 papers from the Tropical Punch collection by kaisercraft, and I also used some collectables from the same collection on the top card. Flowers, ribbon, stampin up greeting stamp and fussy cutting ( on the bottom card) to finish.Til tomorrow……
Kaisercraft tropical Punch 1 and 2
As promised, we have moved on from Christmas and now to catch up on some other cards I have been working on. This collection is Kaisercraft tropical Punch which was released a couple of months ago. I have used the 12 x 12 papers on both cards and made good use of the matching collectables as well. A couple of flowers, and some lovely yellow ribbon, and done!Cardstock is Stampin up.Til tomorrow….
graphic 45 12 days of christmas 2014
here we go – the last 4 Christmas cards for this year! This is graphic 45 12 days of Christmas paper collection – it was last years release I think, but I had a bit left over and made these four cards with it. All stampin up cardstock, and mainly all fussy cutting, with the odd ribbon, doily,lace and punched edge and leaves.I taught a class over at rhe retirement village this afternoon, and have been experimenting in the craft room with some fancy folded cards – I would like to do a class with them, but have to perfect this technique myself first!Til tomorrow….
