I still have a couple of my prima meadow lark series to show but we will get back to them. Today ( and tomorrow) I wanted to show the final few cards I made with the last of my American crafts Neapolitan paper collection. For those that have been following you will remember that I used it in my scarp series. I had just a little left over and so decided to finish the bits and pieces left. Altogether I made 19 cards out of my 4 sheets of paper which I was quite surprised about. So, todays card made using a variety of dies and my cuttlebug and American crafts Neapolitan paper, and a list of dies – Moonlight butterfly, kaliedoscope butterfly, amani circle, meadow leaf ( all by memory box) spellbinders scalloped circles, and Stampin Up Party Blossom . The sentiment was all Stampin Up products – Decorative label punch,Four frames stamp set and petite pairs stamp set. Speaking of which my siser Kay brought me some new products this morning and I have had a great afternoon inking ,stamping , colouring and die cutting – the best way to spend an afternoon! Til tomorrow….

Little darlings 4
Welcome to my new subscriber! Today is the final in my Graphic 45 little darlings series for now. I have added lace and ribbon, and stamped the greeting with Stampin Up Petite pairs, and four frames stamps before punching out with the matching decorative punch. Ink used was stampin up Baja Breeze. Today is my last day of holidays, and I have spent a little bit of it working towards my goal of using up at least one of my paper collections. It is a bigger job than I thought… I have made 18 more cards with my Kaisercraft English Rose bits and pieces, and still there are more cards to made with it.. I am thinking I might take the rest with me on Friday to the Mothers day card marathon and let the ladies finish it for me! Now I must go and dig out my uniform and find my lunchbox, why do holidays go so quickly? Til tomorrow….
Upsy daisy
I have been using these two colours a lot this week, but I didn’t have ribbon to match, so I dyed my own using my little spray mister, a little water and a few drops of re -inker. Whenever I but an ink pad I also buy a bottle of refill ink, and this comes in handy for jobs just like this. The ribbon was originally stampin up whisper white taffeta ribbon, and when I had dyed my ribbon I still had some mix in my spray bottle, and not wanting to waste it I sprayed this piece of Stampin Up confetti Ivory cardstock. I like the effect it has created, and I will be experimenting more with this technique. I stamped Stampin Up Upsy daisy stamp and black embossed it. The greeting is Stampin Up four frames stamp, and petite pairs, and it was punched out with a matching decorative punch. This is a new set for me, I have been using them a lot so you will see more of them! The background card colours are Stampin Up calypso coral and Pool party. Today I have planned out my April paper flourish lesson – I am so far ahead now when it comes time to do that class I will have forgotten what I did!And I have been playing with the new graphic 45 papers which are beautiful… Til tomorrow….
