Kaisercraft After Five Collection Trio

Today I have another no stamp trio of cards made quick and easy with products by Kaisercraft from their After Five Collection that I’ve put together into a Stamp Simply Kit for your crafting ease.  And that’s just what this trio was — easy, peasy as they say!

Three quick cards using pre-scored cards from 2 separate pads in the After Five Collection — Bracket Design and Scallop Design.  Both of these pads are included in the Stamp Simply Kaisercraft After Five Kit.  There are 20 cards per pad, for a total of 40 pre-scored cards in A2 size.  I think Brittany and I are going to use these pads to make her graduation thank you notes!  Gotta keep it easy when you need to mass produce.

This card is from the  Scallop Design Pad.  The 1.5″ strip was cut from the After Five 6×6 Pad.  The Celebration Tag was one of the punch-outs in the back of that pad and my pretty flower is from Prima’s Delightful Day Collection – Dimmet.  These are such pretty little fabric flowers that come in a lovely range of colors.  I used 1″ Sheer White Ribbon that is also included in the KIT.

Just a closer look at the detail and Prima flower.

This is a sheet from the Bracket Design Pad.  This time I used a tag from the Journal Tags Pad and topped it with a small circle sentiment included in the 6×6 Pad, adorned with a Black Kaiser Pearl and White Sheer Ribbon, both included in the KIT.

Love the Journal Tags — fun to play with!

This is the last card, made in a similar fashion.  Again, the sentiment is from the back of the 6×6 Pad and I used another of the Prima Flowers from the Delightful Day Collection – Dimmet.  These flowers have beautiful pearl/beaded centers.

Love this particular tag — using tags and punchouts makes paper crafting SO fun and easy!

All bows were made on the Original Bow Easy.

Thanks so much for stopping in!  I so appreciate that you do!!! 

On a personal note, it’s been busy!  Steve is trying to get the fields planted but has been set back with all the heavy nightime rains we’ve had (causing wide-spread power and internet outages) and the boys are super busy gearing up for all their summer work, waiting for road restrictions to be lifted.  My Dad is doing well and he and my Mom were even able to dine out with us on Mother’s Day.  Spring is trying to come, but is a bit slow here yet, but yesterday we got the front outside porch all cleaned up for summer enjoyment — now to fill it with flowers — but it’s still a bit too early here yet for outside pots — but soon!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful, spring day!!!

  4. Hi, I was trying to shop today and keep getting kicked out. Are you have having problems with Internet Explorer or do I need to kick my computer. If it’s on my end I have a laptop I can try to shop on.

  5. What a smart looking set, Sharon! Yum 🙂 Thanks for the plug, too. I just cannot get enough of those PP Butterflies…need more! So glad to hear your dad is up and about. That always helps the body heal and the mind, too! We are also working on our front porch. We painted it and did a few decorative projects a few weeks back. I’m picking up some planters next week and then we’ll be done. Hope your Mother’s day was awesome! HUGS
