Kaisercraft DT - Pop Collection

Hi All,


Today I am sharing my creations using the new Kaisercraft "Pop" Collection.  This range is jam-packed with vibrant colours and is just the thing for your celebration and birthday LO's.

"Live Every Moment" Layout
With this range there are so many colour combinations you can play with.  For this LO I went with the blue and green tones to compliment my photo and created a bubble background by masking the background with the "Bubble" template and glass bead medium, misting over the top with lime green and aqua mists, then die-cutting open circles from the reverse side of the "Popcorn" pp to layer over the top.

To create some contrast I have used hints of black by stamping and adding some of the new "Distressed and "Party Time" Photo Overlays to my layers.

"Enjoy Every Moment" Layout
For my second LO I chose to use pinks and blues with a hint of yellow.  How cute is the reverse side of the "Frosting" pp with the yummy sprinkles.  I was inspired by this paper and the photo of my adorable niece to create my background with flicks of brightly coloured mists and the glass gel medium masked with the small dot stencil from the "Quarters" template.

Kaisercraft DT - Sandy Toes Collection

Hi All,
This week I have 3 new Kaisercraft Collections to share.  First up for the week I will be sharing my projects created using the gorgeous "Sandy Toes" Collection.  This range has a beachy theme in blue, aqua, cream and brown tones and is perfect for all those beach holiday photos, and with the Summer holidays here, I can see this range will be an absolute favourite.

"Enjoying the Sunshine" Layout
I have had a seashell collection in my stash for quite some time, and have always meant to use them on a beachy LO, and "Sandy Toes" is just the thing.  

 I am loving the new Kaisercraft Decorative Dies and the large flourish is gorgeous.  I decided it would look great as waves as part of my large cluster.

The Bubble Template is a perfect fit for your beach/water themed LO's.  Here I have used the template with opaque texture flakes... love this stuff!!
Kaisercraft now has 12x12 corrugated cardboard sheets.  I have torn off a section of the sheet and altered the edges with glitter glass as the background for my photo.

Kaisercraft Product:  Sandy Toes - P1704 Sea Shells, P1706 Flip Flops, SS267 12x12 Sticker Sheet, CT814 Collectables, CB153 12x12 Corrugated Cardboard Sheets, DD702 Decorative Dies - Large Flourish, T605 Template - Bubbles, CS836 Clear Texture Stamp - Chicken Wire

Other Product: Shells, Charms, Ink, Muslin, Opaque Flakes medium, Glitter Glass

"Summer Memories" Layout
When I saw the reverse side of the Seashells pp, it called out to me to be fussy cut.  I quite liked the effect of it swirling around my photo. 

I was drawn to the smaller bubble mask from the Quarters Template, but this time used glass bead gel medium.  I love the way it catches the light.  

Kaisercraft Product:  Sandy Toes - P1702 Sunshine,  P1704 Sea Shells, P1706 Flip Flops, P1710 Waves, PS379 Specialty Paper - Postcard, SS267 12x12 Sticker Sheet, CT814 Collectables, CS200 Clear Stamp Set, CB152 12x12 Cork Sheets, T613 Template - Quarters, IP723 Ink Pad - Vintage, T303 Foam Tape,

Other Product: Glitter Gel Medium, Ink, Mists

"Summer Snapshots" Altered Frame
I came across this cute photo frame, which made me think of a beach hut.  I covered the frame with the reverse of the Surf pp which has a weatherboard look and the Surfboard pp.  

Couldn't go past adding a little netting and seashells and the sand was created by using Flowersoft in a sandy colour.   

Kaisercraft Product:  Sandy Toes - P1703 Surf, P1708 Surfboard, P1710 Waves, PP957 Paper Pad, SS267 12x12 Sticker Sheet, CT814 Collectables, IP723 Ink Pad - Vintage, T303 Foam Tape,

Kaisercraft - Tuesday Tip - Cork Sheets

Hi Everyone,

 For this week's Tuesday Tip I thought I would show you how to make the most Kaisercraft's new 12x12 Cork Sheets.

 First up the Kaisercraft dies are perfect for cutting out a beautifully crisp cork diecut.  Just be sure to remove your diecuts from the dies slowly as the cork may tear if you are not careful.

Kaisercraft Products:  CB152 12x12 Cork Sheets - 2 pk, Decorative Dies - DD303 Clock, DD500 Script Word. DD506 Foilage

Once you have cut out your diecuts, you can alter the cork by stamping and embossing.  The first example is stamped with 2 tones of blue ink and the second example is stamped with white and embossed with white embossing powder for a crisper image.  The third example is stamped onto the cork then hand cut around the stamped image.

Kaisercraft Product:  Clear Texture Stamp - Chevron CS149, Script CS752, Clear Stamp Set Pop-Treats CS197, Ink Pad Berry IP731

Here I have dry embossed the cork, which is a little trickier, as it can warp a little, but it is still very effective for creating texture.  The cork can also be used with all your punches quite easily.  I coated one of the punched borders with gesso for a softer look.

 You can pretty much play around with any medium for different effects.  Here I have misted and painted    the cork.

Kaisercraft Product:  Paint Candy

For a grungy distressed look try tearing your cork.

I created this pretty card with the cork examples and the new Cherry Blossom Collection.

Kaisercraft Products:  CB152 Cork Sheets, Cherry Blossom Collection - Paper Pad PP958, Collectables CT816, Clear Stamp Set Pop Quotes CS198, Clear Texture Stamp - Script CS752,  Ink Pad Red IP 734, Pearl Brads - Pearl EM930
