Coming Soon is this gorgeous range from Pink Paislee. Called Butterfly Gardens it is inspired by Mother Nature's most beautiful and delicate creature. It has a distintive vintage feel to it and I'm sure we will see some fantastic cards and scrapbook pages made with these papers.

Ok, this week we used papers from Echo Park's Be Mine collection. Another beautiful range of papers that I have in store at the moment. I've used Bazzill Basics Coal for the card and then layered Dotted Swiss Sunset Rose followed by Love Letters by Echo Park. For this part of the card I've used the Sunset Rose card again, followed by Echo Park's Graphite/Lace and then Rose Bouquet. The label is Spellbinders Labels 17 and the 3D image is from Le Suh. The stamp I've used is from the Just Rite nested sentiments All Occasions set Some bling in the corners from Kaisercraft. Card number 2 was inspired by a card I saw on another blog. For this one I've used papers from the same range as above. This time I've used Black Damask, Script Polka Dots, Love Letters and French Rose/Ash. The Sizzix Bigz Die 3-D Flowers was used to cut out this flower and then I rolled it around to create this rose. A Kaisercraft Pearl in the middle just gives it a nice finish. ...

Card number 1 was something I'd been requested to teach a while ago. It's a Bookatrix card made using the Bookatrix board from the Glitter Girls in the UK. I just love these cards, especially for those special occasions (weddings, engagements, 21st birthdays). They really are something extra special and honestly are quite quick and easy to make. For the card I've used Bazzill Basics cardstock in white and two shades of purple and then the final layer is vellum. I finished the edges off with Starform stickers in gold. On the right side is a gold foil scalloped oval from Spellbinders small scalloped ovals. Decorated with roses and a blossom from Green Tara. On the left side is a Kanban Sentiments Topper  Card number two was inspired by a card I received at Christmas from one of my students. For this card I've used Bazzill Basics cardstock in a pale grey and coal. I've then used Crevat DS paper from  Kaisercrafts After Five range. I used double sided satin ri...

I know I've been slack at updating the blog the last couple of weeks but I'll try to get it up to date this week. I had a nasty toothache last week and it made it hard for me to get anything done. i just couldn't concentrate, but thankfully it's gone now so I can try to catch up. Firstly here are the cards we made in our second week of classes. The first is a vintage card using  Madison Avenue papers from My Mind's Eye. I've used Pretty Dress Shop and Sisters Lace on this card for the background and the punched strips down the side. These strips were punched with a Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch. The 3D is a Reddy Die Cut and I've used girlfriends J'Adore paper for the distressed piece of script behind the 3D. The locket is from Spellbinders "Timeless Heritage " Card Number Two was also made using Madison Avenue Papers from My  Minds Eye. My inspiration here was two cards made using the same papers but in totally different style...

Sorry for the delay in posting these cards but my darling son used up all of our internet for the month, so that he could download a game...grrrr! Thank goodness he's back at school now!! These are the cards that we made in our first class. They are all made using the new Kaisercraft English Rose collection. The 12" x 12" scrapbooking papers sell for $1 each, with the exception of the flock which is $1.90 and the die-cut paper, which is $1.45. Card 1 This one is made using the "Pearl" paper from the range, with Bazzill Basics Rosey cardstock. The 3D image is a Reddy Die cut from their twin (2 sheets in one pack) range. This is also available for $4.95 and you get enough 3D images on the sheet to make 9 cards. Here is the card when it is opened. Card 2 This one is made using Bazzill Basics French Vanilla for the card base. Then I've used Rum Raisin on the front, which has been punched with a Martha Stewart Lattice punch. On top of that I've ...

Another new range from Kaisercraft that I have in stock is the After Five range. I just love this range as it can be used for so many different occasions. Here is a preview of the 12" x 12" papers: Also in this range we have the 6" x 6" pads and the journal tags.

Due to the devastating flooding in QLD I have delayed opening my shop for a week. While not directly affected by the floods I have seen some terrible images on TV and I know so many lives have been lost and so many people have lost so much. It is just heartbreaking and my thoughts are with everyone affected in any way by the floods.   I will now be opening tomorrow January 17th. My first class will be on Friday 21st. In the mean time I have received some lovely new stock including the English Rose range from Kaisercraft. Here is a taste of some of the beautiful 12" x 12" papers that I have got. This one is called Vera and it's a beautiful flocked sheet. The entire range is so soft and pretty but this flocked sheet is just to die for!! I have also got in stock these 6" x 6" paper pads in the English Rose design.
