A very early post today as I have a feeling life around here is going to be busy later on..This is a very similar sketch to the previous card, but I have stepped it up a little bit by adding the doily and a couple of extra layers and ribbon. the paper is Tilda Country Escape 12 x 12 paper pad, and the flowers are by Prima. I punched some leaves with my Martha Stewart frond punch and added some liquid pearls in the top right hand corner. It goes without saying that lace and lovely ribbon also featured! Til tomorrow….

Tilda country escape number 2
This is the second card I made using my Tilda Country Escape 12 x 12 paper pad. I just added some prima flowers, ribbon bow and lace to finish. The sentiment on the die cut ( included in the paper pad) was stamped with a stampin up sentiment stamp from the Perfectly penned set, and I inked all around my edges with tea dye distress ink.Today I have been making some cards for my February lesson useing Kaisercrafts new release for January ( Velvet Crush) – it is the most gorgeous paper and I can’t wait to start on my own cards using it!

Very Vintage – Tilda Country Escape..number 1.
Hello, I hope you all had a lovely restful christmas. I had a busy christmas day, but boxing day was nice and relaxing – it was back to work for a few hours this morning, and I have had a lazy afternoon, and the next 3 days rostered days off, so feeling quite happy about that! Todays card is made with a 12 x12 paper pad I picked up -and it had a few sheets of die-cuts in the pad as well so great value for money. Its a company I haven’t bought before , – Tilda, and the pad is called Country escape but I loved the very vintageness of it. I fussy cit the flowers from one of the sheets, and inked all my edges with Tea dye distress ink. Of course added some ribbon and some kaisercraft pearls to finish. Til tomorrow….

Prima Anna marie paper, tags and stickers, with some bling strips and a stampin Up sentiment. What I like about this paper is that it is all all different but co-ordinates perfectly.Each of the cards so far look so different but the colours all fit together. one more in this group, and then we will return to some christmas cards! til tomorrow….

prima Delight number 3
Sorry I missed last night post, but I am not well – terribly sore throat – voice is not good, and I came home from work yesterday and fell asleep for a good long while! Still no better today, and I am hoping I am better for my class tomorrow otherwise I will be relying on sign language to give instructions! Todays card is the other card I had time to make using Prima Delight paper, ( love the image), and lace, flowers and a charm. I fussy cut the whole frame and mounted the girl image behind it. I think this evening I will pull out this paper and look at it again, see if I can do any more fussy cutting while I am watchingb tv. Til tomorrow….
stampin Up afternoon Picnic number 3
hard to believe that this paper is from the same designer series ( stampin Up Afternoon Picnic) as the previous card! I die cut a dress form from Kraft cardstock using Stampin Up dress Up die, and inked a doily ,added a seam binding bow and a necklace of liquid pearls to finish. Ready to pack up the christmas stuff for a day or two and start on something else tomorrow… til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft St. Nicholas number 4
Today i used some Stampin up cardstock for the base card, and a layer of paper from the kaisercraft St. Nicholas 6″ pad. The image in the right hand corner is from a piece of the 12 x12 paper which I fussy cut, and I tucked 2 little post cards from the collectables pack in behind it. I stuck a piece of cream seam binding across the top of the card and mounted a sentiment greeting from the 6″ pad on top.
