Yesterday was an engagement card, and today is a Wedding card! Here I have used Stampin up basic black cardstock with a few of Bo Bunnys’ Noteworthy Journal die cuts ( Enchanted) layered on top of one another, and edges inked. I have also added flowers and beaded ribbon. Mum, Kay and I had a lovely day visiting a crafty friend who lives in the Adelaide hills, so we had a nice drive, and stopped to by some fresh produce from a roadside stall on the way. Very relaxing, and just what the doctor ordered after a busy week at work.Tonight I intend to continue crafting with the supplies I pulled out today to take to Sandy’s as I have to confess we did a fair amount of chatting and not too much crafting! Great fun…. Til tomorrow…..

graphic 45 tropical travelogue 5
This is the card I made for my Aunties birthday – it was a very hot day when I made this one and the colours were very cooling.. you can see where my mind was…. Nathans camera doesn’t like taking photos of step cards – it never knows what to focus on so this image isn’t the best but I hope you get the general idea. The cardstock was Stampin Up calypso coral, and I did a bit of fussy cutting of the papers to get the result I wanted Til tomorrow……
Graphic 45 tropical travelogue 3 and 4
Oh dear – hit the wrong button and this photo might appear twice… sorry…. Another 2 cards using graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue, and a little ribbon and bling. the Cardstock used is stampin Up taken with Teal, summer sun, Calypso Coral and green galore. Some of those colours are retired now, but I stocked up on them and I am so glad I did!They match this paper so well. Quick post as its shopping tonight and I have an order to fulfill as well…. Til tomorrow…
Lots of shoes and bags….
I know a lot of you are finding it hard to find me at the moment, there is a problem with my blog which Nathan is on to, but it could take up to 5 days to fix. A few of you have worked out how to get to me, thank you, and to everyone else you will have to catch up when the problem is fixed! Meanwhile we will carry on as normal…. Today I have posted a group of cards that I made just using 2Â 12 x 12 pieces of patterned paper, some stampin up cardstock – Perfect plum and basic black,and a bit of ribbon and lace. The paper was a find while I was on holiday from a company called Hobby Fun Co, and I embossed a lot of the plum cardstock with my Vintage wallpaper embossing folder from Stampin Up.I actually made 14 cards from this paper – that’s what I call a bargain buy! Til tomorrow…..
Mainly Dies and cuttlebug
I found this lattice die during an on line browse, and now that I have it, I have forgotten what brand it is! Sorry, can anyone help with that? Anyway its a great die, and perfect for floral themed cards. The paper I used was frpm Kaisercrafts Blae and Ivy range, and I also used my sizzix butterfly die, and Stampin Up swirls die. Martha stewart punch and an assortment of flowers completed the look. Back to xmas cards today, quite enjoying making them so I must have just needed a break from them for a few days! Til tomorrow…..
Xmas cards
Todays cards are a couple I made with K&Co Brenda walton Die cuts and Acetate. The cardstock is stampin Up Cherry cobbler and handsome hunter. This pack of die cuts and acetate was good value with 40 pieces in it, I have barely scratched the surface! Very busy at work today, and so I may just sit in front of the t.v. and do some cutting out tonight. Til tomorrow…..
Bonjour…4
Welcome to Number 4 in my kaisercraft Bonjour collection series. I think this one is my favourite. I love the big blingy butterfly and the lovely floppy bow. The only other product I used on this card was a doily die and Stampin up Pool Party cardstock. A new colour and goes so well with this paper. I am in my room today making more baby cards…. I should have kept count of how many I have made this year. I am on my fifth pad of kaisercraft lullaby paper! Til tomorrow…..
Cardstock colour Chart
Welcome to my new subscriber! Today is one of the very few times that I am not posting a card. This is my pinboard colour chart which is positioned right opposite my craft table, so now I only have to look up to see what colours I have available to me. The space at the top is reserved for the stampin up new in colours, which arrived today. I was finding that I was stuck in a rut when grabbing cardstock to use and I have a few go-to colours, so with this new system in place I can really expand my crafting horizons! Til tomorrow,,,( and a new card)…
