Kaisercraft DT - Provincial Collection

Hello!!

Today I have some projects to share for KAISERCRAFT featuring the stunning Provincial Collection.

 

The Provincial Collection features some beautifully shabby, rustic style patterns as well as some beautiful soft blues and florals that are just perfect for baby layouts. There are also some wonderful postmark and timepiece images. Something for everyone!

 

'Hello Baby' Layout

 

 

I love this photo of my darling son and I. It was the very first photo of us together on the day he was born and was taken by one of the wonderful midwives in the NICU. So very special.

 

 

If you would like to find out how I created that watercolour effect background and how I put my layouts together, make sure you head over to the Kaisercraft blog HERE for a step by step tutorial.

'Happy Mail' Mail Holder

There! With just a few stickers and collectables from the collection as well as some die-cut words I have something pretty to hide all of those nasty window faced envelopes behind.

Charms Creations DT - *Mo*vember Challenge

Hello!!

 

Today I am sharing my take on the November Challenge at CHARM'S CREATIONS.

 

But first, take a look at the seriously cool challenge...

 

 

Aren't those moustaches cute? I also love the watercolour circles in the inspiration board so that was the starting point for my layout.

 

'Seriously Fun' Layout

 

 

Lots of watercolour circles on my layout! The large ones I created myself using watercolour paints and the small ones were punched from patterned paper.

 

 

I used a DIY 'O' from an 'XO' set and altered it using the same watercolour paints that I used to create the circles. I then topped it with a cute wood veneer moustache.

 

 

Isn't that the most perfect photo for the challenge?!! LOL This was a photo shoot from last Christmas. I was playing around with my camera trying to learn how to take a photo using the timer function on my camera. It seemed to work. ;-)

 

You can find the 'XO' sets in the shop HERE.

 

I hope you get a chance to play along with this fun challenge.

 

Here's a peek at some other layouts I have created recently for CHARM'S CREATIONS.

 

'Best Ever Fun' Layout

 

 

I used a Mixed Kit that I purchased at a recent release night featuring project life cards, mini crochet doilies, orange mini heart, arrow and terrific tab as well as a cute pineapple clip. I LOVE these project life kits so much. Charm co-ordinates everything perfectly.

 

 

 

 

 

'Here in your Happy Place' Layout

 

 

This layout also features elements from a recent project life mixed kit. I especially love that cute camera lush lollipop.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for checking out my creations today. :-)

Kraft + DT - So What!!

Have you seen the awesome challenge at KRAFT + this month??

 

Check this out...

 

 

This month we want you to be inspired by the artist P!nk

*PLEASE NOTE*
The graphic below is NOT the challenge.
The COLOUR pink is NOT the challenge.

The challenge is to be inspired by  P!nk, the artist.

Maybe one of her album covers?
It could be a song title, or lyrics?
Maybe you went to one of her concerts?
It is okay to be inspired by the photo..
BUT there must be something about P!nk on your layout.
Please tell us when you upload your entry what exactly about P!nk inspired you.

 

Criteria : Kraft + P!nk (the artist)We welcome all kinds of craft as entries for our challenges, from traditional layout, cards, digital layouts, art journalling and tags etc. but please remember that it is all about the Kraft!!

Your work MUST be on a KRAFT BACKGROUND (not merely mounted on Kraft) to be eligible. 

 **Please take the time to read the RULES before submitting your entry**

 

Cool!!! I love P!nk so this was an easy challenge for me.

 

Here's what I created...

 

 

My background started like this and I nearly didn't want to add anything else to it.

 

 

I chose these particular lyrics as they just seemed to suit the photo of my darling daughter getting her rock moves on at Taronga Zoo on a recent trip.

 

 

 

Not only was I inspired by the lyrics, but I was also inspired by the challenge image to use lots of washi tape, stamping and mists on my background.

 

I do hope you get a chance to play along with the challenge this month. You can check out all of the inspiration from the design team over HERE on the blog. You will find all of the details on the challenge too.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - Provincial Living

 

 

 

Hello papercrafters!!

 

Today I have a layout to share with you featuring the brand new Provincial Collection from KAISERCRAFT.

 

 

 

This is such a lovely range which includes some beautiful florals as well as postmarks, clocks and some rustic look papers.

 

The Design Team was challenged to create a shabby chic layout featuring both the Clear Stamps as well as the Embossing Folder.

 

Clear Stamps

 

Embossing Folder

 

Here's my layout.

 

 

 

I used the Embossing Folder to emboss a piece of self-adhesive cork. I then cut out some of the postmark images to create my own embellishments. I used the clear stamps on my background as well as to make some lovely lacy edges underneath my photo.

 

Kaisercraft materials: P1971 Hydrangea | P1978 Cobblestone | PP984 Paper Pad | CS243 Clear Stamps | EF229 Embossing Folder Postmarks | CT843 Collectables | EM928 Lace Pack Natural | CD187 Kaisercard Pebble | KM102 Kaisermist Antique Gold | IP723 Ink Pad Vintage | IP724 Ink Pad Bark | EM405 Paper Doilies White | DD700 Decorative Die Alphabet Uppercase.

Charms Creations DT - Hello Beautiful

Hello!!

 

Today I am sharing a layout I created for CHARM'S CREATIONS using the stunning November Mood Board at Jot Magazine.

 

 

How gorgeous is this mood board?? I absolutely LOVE the combination of pink and yellow. So fresh and pretty. Thankyou Kim Jeffress for the awesome inspiration!

 

Here's my take on the challenge.

 

 

 

I have used a sweet pink Mini Heavenly Heart which you can find in the shop over HERE.

 

 

I used Kaisermists in Yellow and Pink on my background. I love how these mists react with water. They really give the loveliest watercolour effect.

 

Short and sweet today but make sure you pop back soon for some Kaisercraft shares

 

Thanks so much for stopping.

 

Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - A Little Holly Jolly

Hello!!

 

Today I am sharing with you a fun mini album I created for KAISERCRAFT using the Holly Jolly Collection.

 

I love the playfulness of the Holly Jolly range as well as the gorgeous Christmas colours with a little kraft added in for good measure. Because it was such a fun range I decided to document our Elf on The Shelf shenanigans in a mini pocket page album.

 

 

How cute is that green woodgrain paper?? That would have to be my very favourite paper from the collection. I may have a thing for woodgrain. :-)

 

 

 

On this page I created a little card for the top left pocket by embossing a piece of kraft cardstock with the Framed Tree Embossing Folder. To accentuate the design, I lightly rubbed the Lagoon Ink Pad over the top to give it some soft colour.

 

Here’s a closer look.

 

 

 

I had an idea to make a shaker pocket for this page. I added a whole lot of sequins from my stash as well as a snowflake die cut from the Collectables pack. I also used the snowflake stamp from the Holly Jolly Clear Stamps to stamp on vellum using embossink ink. I heat set with white embossing powder, fussy cut and added to my pocket. (Note: I used a Fuse Tool to seal my pocket so that everything wouldn’t shake on out of there.)

 

Here’s a closer look.

 

 

 

As you can see, I have only completed the first week of our elves antics. I have many more pages of our cheeky little elves to fill!!

 

Kaisercraft materials: P1944 Hearty | P1945 Cheery | P1946 Joyous | P1947 Gleeful | P1948 Peppy | P1949 Zippy | P1950 Sprightly | P1951 Chipper | P1952 Zingy | SS296 Sticker Sheet | CT840 Collectables | CS240 Clear Stamps | PP981 Paper Pad | EM427 Tag Pack | EM428 Kraft Tag Pack | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | CD651 Kaisercard Kraft | EF226 Embossing Folder Framed Tree | AS251 Alpha Sticker Sheet Ebony | AS252 Alpha Sticker Sheet White | AS255 Alpha Sticker Sheet Sea Breeze | EM926 Lace Pack White | DD510 Decorative Die Nesting Frames | DD701 Decorative Die 6×4″ + 3×4″ Rectangles | IP719 Ink Pad Black | IP727 Ink Pad Lagoon | SB2295 4 Window Display Album | CB109 Alpha Chipboard Alpha #3.

 

Other: Fuse tool | twine | candy cane | wire thread | vellum | embossing ink | embossing powder | sequins | paper clips.
