A Ladies Diary number 10

I found a previously unseen folder in my files, so thought I would show a few cards from it over the next couple of days before we move onto all the cards I have been making while on holidays! My favourite paper here – A Ladies Diary by Graphic 45,- it’s actually out on my table as we speak – I have made a mountain of cards with this paper and never get bored of it! Here I have teamed it with bazill cardstock, tim holtz tatttered florals garland die, and a stampin up stamp from the established elegance set which I cut out and tucked behind the flower.My poor craft room looks more like a storage facility so today I moved out to the dining table for some serious card making – spread all my new papers out and away I went – it was very successful and I got alot of cards made – it’s all packed up now so no-one will ever know! Til tomorrow…

Some stamping fun..

Now and again when I have a bit of time I like to get out all my stamps and inks and just see what happens and this is the result from the other day. I used stampin Up cardstock – early espresso, blushing bride and very vanilla, and some lace and ribbon, then went to town with the stamps from my Established Elegance set ( Stampin Up)I think I used all the stamps in this set – oh except for the typewriter stamp.. that was used on another card which I will show tomorrow. The papers are from Stampin Up Attic boutique.Very wet and cold day here in Adelaide. Its a heater night tonight! Til tomorrow….

Established elegance

As Mothers day is just a few days away now ( my list is on the fridge boys!) I thought I would post this one which I made using Melissa francis paper – Rose, and 2 Stampin up stamp sets – Element of style which I stamped  with close to cocoa ink ( Stampin Up) to frame a border around my main image which was from the Established Elegance set. I used another stamp from that set to make the tag.The cardstock was Stampin Up Blushing Bride, and I added a lovely big bow with a Stampin Up Vintage brad and a strip of lace to give the whole card a vintage look.I have made a very similar card for my friends daughter who is turning 16 – I hope I didn’t send her this one – I am starting to have my doubts- Oh dear…..A big hello and welcome to all my new subscribers, til tomorrow…..
