Kaisercraft DT - September Collections

Hi Everyone,

Well, I hate to say it but Christmas is just around the corner... I know, crazy isn't it, how quickly the year is flying by!!!  Luckily Kaisercraft have released 2 beautiful new Christmas Collections called "Home For Christmas " and "Silver Bells" so you can get a head start on your Christmas Cards and Christmas Home Decor Projects.  The 3rd release for this month is called "Generations" which has a gorgeous vintage ancestry theme and is perfect for all your family photos.  Why not create a family album for yourself or as a gift for someone special.

First up I have my projects created with  "Home for Christmas" which has a wonderful, rustic feel to it, with papers in woodgrain and burlap patterns to give a lovely textured feel to your layouts.  I adored creating with this Collection!!

Kaisercraft Design Team 2014 Entry

Hi Everyone,

As my title suggests, I decided to try out for the Kaisercraft 2014/2015 Design Team.  I have always been a big fan of all their gorgeous products.  Every month I ooh and ahh over the new ranges and I am totally addicted to their fabulous stamps, so I thought, why not give it a go.

To apply, we had to create 3 recent projects - Layout, Beyond the Page/Altered Item and a Mixed Media item or Card.

So Very Loved

First up I have created a LO using the beautiful Curiosity range which I have layered and fussy cut to create some depth.  The background was stencilled with the pretty Flutter mask, then stamped over with the Honeycomb background stamp and I also used the Windsor stamp down the left hand side of my LO.  Over the top of this I have flicked some glimmer mist in red to tie in with the flowers accents.  

Kaisercraft Product Used:
Curiosity 12x12 paper collection pack
Curiosity 6 1/2 inch paper pad
Curiosity Collectables
Stamps - Honeycomb, Windsor, Secret Admirer definitions
Stencil - Flutter
Wooden Flourishes - ornate corners
Sparklets - rouge
Other Product Used: Viva Inka Gold paste, Martha Stewart punch, Glimmer mist, Arichival ink

Remember This Moment

Next up is my Beyond the Page project.  I decided to create a small frame using my nephew's recent wedding pics and the gorgeous Limelight range.  I have used various Kaisercraft wooden flourishes elements which I have altered by coating with Viva Inka Gold, then adding some Kaisercraft pearls and paper blossoms.

You can't have a garden scene without butterflies, so I stamped some with the Kaisercraft butterflies stamp and coloured the stamped image with some pigment powder and a water brush, then topped it with a pearl embellishment.

When you think of weddings, lace immediately comes to mind, so I added some Kaisercraft lace accents to the frame in white to soften the green a little.  I also used the woodgrain edge stamp to tie in with the garden theme.

Kaisercraft Product Used:

OTP - Small Photo Display
Limelight 12x12 paper collection pack
Stamps - edges, butterflies, Secret Bird Society
Wooden Flourishes - frames, iron gate, remember this moment, ornate corners
Paper Blooms - coconut
Mini Paper Blooms - white
Lace Pack - white
Rubons - After 5 collection quotes
Pearls SB713
Other Product Used: Viva Inka Gold paste and Pearl Pen, Luminarte pigment powder, Arichival ink, pearl centres

Moments Card

Lastly I have created a card using the beautiful and vibrant Kaleidoscope range.  I layered and machine stitched various papers for my background and used my silhouette Cameo to create the pretty diecut layer - you could also use dies if you don't have a Cameo - then stamped the flutter stamp lightly in both corners.

The lovely wooden frame went beautifully with all the pretty coodinating collectables, which I layered with foam tape and accented with paper blossoms and pearls.

Kaisercraft Product Used:

Kaleidoscope 12x12 paper collection pack

Kaleidoscope collectables

Wooden Flourishes - frames

Stamp - flutter

Mini Paper Blooms - white

Paper Flowers - snow

Pearls SB713

Kaisercraft Cardstock - smooth white

Other Product Used:  Silhouette Cameo diecut machine, stitching,archival ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
