The top card uses Kaisercraft betsys couture 12 x 12 papers, and the bottom card uses papers from the 6 inch pad. Both cards have an assortment of matching collectables, lace, ribbon, prima flowers, hand rolled flowers, liquid pearls, kaisercraft assorted dies, leaf punch, seam binding and lace.I picked my husband up from hospital this morning, and while on nursing duties I sat down to organise a class for May using some new simple stories paper. Eight or so cards later I have realised I have exceeded the three we usually do in a class, so I am thinking I will take them all along and let the ladies choose which ones they want to do. This paper ( collection is called I am) is terrific ..the ideas keep coming so glad I bought some for myself – I can’t wait to get back to it! Til tomorrow…..

Kaisercraft Betsys couture number 4..vintage
For this card made with kaisercraft betsys Couture collection i used the 6″pad, and the sticker sheet. other kaisercraft products were the Ornate frame die, and the flourish die.I made a rolled flower,punched a couple of leaves and added liquid pearls and a ribbon bow. Quick post this afternoon as I am off to take my husband to the hospital where he will have his operation on both knees… I think he will try anything to get out of the kitchen renovations that are happening here at the moment! til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft betsys Couture number 1
Recently I bought some of kaisercraft’s recent release – Betsys Couture. I knew once I started with this paper it would be hard to stop, so we have quite a few here in the queue! Before I started I die cut a few Ornate frames ( Kaisercraft die) so that I wouldn’t have to interrupt the creative process by bobbing up and down to the big shot.I used one on this card, wrapped the inner oval with lace and stuck on a websters pages cameo – I have a little box on my table full of these little odds and ends from other projects, and often use bits from it on projects.The papers were from the 6″ pad,as was the lady who I fussy cut out of the paper. sponged around all the edges with tea dye ink, flowers, punched leaves and ribbon to finish.My back is almost better today, and I am sure it will be perfect for work tomorrow! At lats i am able to sit, although not for to long, but long enough for me to relax in the craft room for a little while this afternoon. Til tomorrow…..

Prima tea thyme 14,15 and 16
Three more cards today made with Prima Tea Thyme paper collection, and matching stickers and chipboard. On all these cards I have also used bling, lace, ribbon,and flowers, or a mixture of these embellishments.One more post with this paper and then we will move onto something else. A busy weekend with not much crafting, although I did get my classes for April done. This week I have my new kitchen being installed, so its been a busy time getting ready for that, and I had a primary school class reunion yesterday, so lots of time spent catching up with old friends I hadn’t seen for over 40 years! Hopefully next weekend will be a little quieter! Til tomorrow….
Prima Tea thyme 12 and 13
early post today as I may not get back on here today… very busy…..Prima tea Thyme collection – the top card also uses the matching stickers, and some pearls, ribbon and lace. the bottom card uses all that, plus some chipboard which I stamped on with staz-on ink and a stampin up sentiment stamp.Staz on ink is the best for these shiny chipboard pieces because it doesnt smudge.Til tomorrow…..
Prima Tea Thyme number 10 and 11
So, the very first collection of papers I took out to sort through was Prima tea Thyme. I didn’t get very far in the sorting out, but got streets ahead in the card making, and none of this paper made it into the discard pile!The top card had so much embellishing including…ribbon,lace,punched butterflies,rhinestones,kindyglitz,letter stickers, chipboard,and a flower. The bottom card escaped most of my over the top embellishing and just had a journalling card from the same collection,punched butterflies, ribbon ,lace and rhinestones.A few more to show in this collections but we will do them over the next day or two in groups of two or three. this morning I taught a class over at Paper Flourish, and as usual enjoyed my time spent with my ladies,who are much more like friends than students! Til tomorrow….
