Kaisercrat secret garden. The top card has a piece 0f the 6″ pad as the background, and a piece from one of the 12 x 12 card fronts trimmed down. I used a kaisercraft mannequin die and hand cut a dress from a piece of the 6″ pad.Added a collectable and some sequins to finish this one. For the bottom card – so simple – a piece of the 6″ pad and a collectable is all this one needed!punched butterfly, and sentiment and done. Freezing day here today, far too cold in the craft room, so after a visit to Mum and dad’s this afternoon, it will be tea in front of the heater and Tv! til tomorrow….

Kaisercraft secret garden 7 and 8
I have taken a short break from the craft room, where I am planning out August/september lessons, to post a couple of new cards. We are back to my Kaisercraft secret garden series, and for both of these cards I have used lots of lovely lace and ribbon, along with some dies , mainly kaisercraft – they are my new favourite brand of die as they cut through so easily, and both cards use paper from the 6″ pad.Of course I have also used the matching collectables.it’s very cold here today – I am not sure we have even reached double digits, so I don’t know how much longer I will be in the craft room before I retire to the seat closest to the heater!Til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft Secret garden 2….
Another Kaisercraft secret garden card where the words on the collectable are hidden by me..this time with a well placed flower and leaf collectable.The papers used on this card are from the 6″ pad and I added some lace and ribbon. Today has been spent in the craft room fulfilling orders, I am all caught up now, so it is time to turn my thoughts to August lessons. where is the year going? til tomorrow….
Kaisercraft secret garden 1
This months Kaisercraft release of Secret Garden is absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn’t help myself – I bought the 6″pad, all the 12 x 12 papers and 2 packets of the collectables. It has been a great distraction when I have been meant to be cleaning out the craft room! I have had to force myself to pack it away for now, but not before I made a multitude of cards. We will split this group into 2 or 3 otherwise you will all be sick of seeing them all! This is the first one – Stampin Up blushing bride cardstock,layers of papers from the pad and a few collectables. the flower trim is also from stampin up. the collectable flowers wre hiding the words “to me’ on the label which I didn’t want on this card. There’s a handy hint – flowers can hi9de a multitude of errors!Til tomorrow….
Three more Wedding cards
Here are the final three of my wedding card series – the top two cards are made with kaisercraft on this Day paper collection, and the bottom card is a mix of papers I found in my drawer, and prima flowers and some punched leaves. I think the flowers on the top two are also Prima, and of course ribbon and lace used liberally on all cards! Today I have been putting together some Prima doll stamp cards, and mulling over ideas for my July classes. can’t believe I am already thinking about july – where is this year going? Til tomorrow…..
the very special last Bo Bunny Garden journal card….
This is the last two Bo Bunny garden Journal cards I have made – No doubt there will be more at some time, but todays cards are the last for now. The blue one uses a kaisercraft dres form die ( I love it) and the bottom one is an experiment in shabby chic style, so lots of ripping of paper ( so hard for me to do) and distressing and inking, mixed with lace, tulle, ribbon and bling. I made a matching box to fit it into.Today is a great day..i finally have a day where I can spend a great amount of time in the craft room, and just as well as it’s only 4 weeks until my 3 day craft fair, so it’s all about making enough cards to sell!Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden journal 6,7 and 8
I taught a lesson with this paper this morning ( bo bunny Garden Journal) and we all agreed it is a gorgeous paper collection. On all three cards I have really just relied on the paper, and fussy cutting. with the addition of lace, ribbon, some flowers, and the big prima flower on the bottom card these cards are great fun to create! Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden Journal number 5
there was going to be two cards today, but the computer has something against uploading my photos, I am blaming the weather,it’s been very stormy today, hopefully tomorrow it behaves itself! So, todays card is Bo Bunny garden journal papers, with some assorted flowers,punched leaves, and a bit of bling. I inked all the edges with tea dye distress ink. Til tomorrow….
Bo Bunny Garden Journal 3 and 4…
Two more cards made with Bo Bunny Garden Journal paper collection, and these ones have a distinct vintage style. Loved using lace,pleated ribbon ( stampin up) assorted flowers and some punched leaves and border trims on these ones. The dress form is a kaisercraft die,and I inked around all my edges with tea dye distress ink.Today will be a day of finishing off projects on my craft table I think, as long as I don’t get too disracted! til tomorrow…..
Bo Bunny garden Journal number 2..
Bo Bunny garden Journal 12 x 12 papers, with three layers of layering,the second layer punched along the bottom with a Martha stewart lace doily punch, and just a bit of lace, a ribbon bow and a butterfly die cut from a piece of vellum added to the top!I inked around all my edges with Tea Dye distress ink.I have been experimenting again in the craft room today, this time using my pencil and ruler to come up with some one sheet wonder ideas for a forthcoming class. After tea I will head back in there to see if my plan works!Til tomorrow….
