I loved making this card! Everything I have used here is Stampin up products except for the button and script stamp. Cardstock is Night of Navy and Very vanilla, the stamp set is Countryside, and the inks I used were Baja Breeze and Night of navy. I wrapped the top layer with linen thread. Once I had stamped the script stamp on the vanilla cardstock I coloured it lightly with ink.There is a layer there that I ran through my card crimper to get that cardboard box look. I enjoyed making this card so much taht I made a another one in a different colourway with a different stamp and I will show that one tomorrow… til tomorrow….

Tilda country escape number 6
Tilda country escape 12 ” pad, and spellbinders Persian motifs die. A similar sketch to yesterdays card, with less ribbon, and a smaller spellbinders die, but I still inked all my edges with tea dye ink,and embellished with some kindyglitz and liquid pearls. That is all I have done with this range so far, so tomorrow we will find something else to look at! today I have been playing around with some heat embossing and sprays, just experimenting really, sometimes it’s just fun to go into the craft room , pull out a few things and see what happens! til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft Blast Off number 1
A little while ago I bought a 6″ pad from Kaisercraft – Blast Off, and just one sheet of the 12 x 12 papers from the same range. The 12 x 12 sheet had lots of images perfect for fussy cutting, and so over the next day or so I will show what I have made with them so far. This is the first, a few of the fussy cut images, and I added some googly eyes to them. The cardstock and sentiment stamp is from Stampin up.Today nathan and I filmed my youtube video, Nathan is just adding the titles and card measurements, and it should be up tomorrow!This afternoon I have been working on decorating a decorative birdcage for my dads birthday, so a good day creating despite the heat!

Graphic 45 double easel card – and side view
Graphic 45 couture collection paper, and lots of fussy cutting! I have included a side view so that you can see how I constructed my double easel card. This paper lends itself wonderfully to easel cards because there are so many elements to fussy cut out, without needing to add flowers, ribbon or bling. the paper is really enough on its own. I have come to the end of this series, so tomorrow we will have a look at something different! very hot here today, so I only ventured into the craft room for a short while – the first time I have been in there in quite a few days, and had a play with some of my new paper,but the heat has driven me back to my comfy chair under the air conditioning vent!Til tomorrow….
Graphi8c 45 couture collection – double easel cards
I am back from my little mini break to Perth, and we had a lovely time – a very quick visit, but we managed to squeeze in a lot of sightseeing, and a bit of relaxing too!todays cards uses graphic 45 couture collection paper collection, and I have done a lot of fussy cutting for these ones. The style of card is what I wanted to show you all – I am calling it a double easel card, with the second easel a fair bit smaller than the main easel – I am going to do a youtube video with this style so that you can all see how to do it and the measurements will be on the video – I always learn better by seeing it done – much easier than just reading I think. In my class at paper flourish this friday we are doing cards very similar to this and I can’t wait to do them! til tomorrow….

Prima Anna Marie number 7
here is a familiar card layout for all of you that follow my blog – it is a favourite of mine. I have used prima Anna Marie paper,chipboard and brad, and rounded all my corners with a corner rounder. The flower is die cut with stampin up sizzix blossom party die, and the flourish is a magnolia dohickey.A simple layered card tonight! I have been in the craft room for a short while this afternoon, stamping out some mens cards,but I really don’t seem to be achieving very much!Oh well – it’s relaxing and that is the main thing! til tomorrow….

To finish off this series I have done a few welcome baby cards. The stamp set is Stampin Up zoo Babies, and the ink, and cardstock are also from stampin up. The embossing folder on the boys cards is from stampin Up – hexagons, and I am not too sure of the girl card embossing folder,but possibly couture creations!.tomorrow we will start a new series, today I visited paper flourish and picked up two new kaisercraft collections – hello sunshine and telegraph road, but probably won’t get a chance to create with them this week,as I am a bit busy organising myself for my trip to Perth at the weekend. til tomorrow….
