Kaisercraft DT - True Love Collection

Hello!!

 

Now that the silly season is over and we are into the new year, I am looking forward to getting back into some sort of a routine again. Although that won't really happen until the kids go back to school!

 

I am hoping that I will not neglect my blog so much this year and keep it up to date a bit better. Fingers crossed!

 

Today I have my creations for KAISERCRAFT to share featuring the stunning new True Love Collection.

 

 

TRUE LOVE is such a fresh and pretty collection with a touch of edgy black thrown in.

I have three lovely layouts using this collection to share with you, so let’s get started.

 

‘So Sweet’ Layout

 

I have die cut my title and the swirl flourishes from the brand new Lucky Dip Cork Stack Adhesive Sheets. I LOVE this new product and it worked really well with the dies.

 

Here’s a closer look.

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2025 My Love | P2027 My Darling | P2031 My Precious | PP988 Paper Pad | SS304 Sticker Sheet | CT846 Collectables | CD651 Kaisercard Kraft | DD705 Decorative Die Swirl Flourish | DD725 Decorative Die Card Creations – Butterflies – Cardfront – C6 | DD735 Decorative Die Uppercase Alphabet | FL303 Wood Flourishes Vines | LDB1031 Lucky Dip Cork Stack Adhesive Sheets | LDB1054 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes – Love | IP733 Ink Pad Vine.

 

 

‘Beautiful’ Layout

 

 

There are just so many pretty elements to love in this collection! I cut the gorgeous Wreath Specialty Die Cut Paper in half for this layout and then fussy cut some extra flowers from the remaining half.

 

The combination of pink and orange is so fresh and lovely too and co-ordinated perfectly with that butterfly painted on my daughter’s cheek.

 

Kaisercraft materials: PS438 Wreath Die Cut Specialty Paper | P2025 My Love | P2032 My Dearest | PP988 Paper Pad | SS304 Sticker Sheet | CT846 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | PT227 Glitter Tape Gold | FL341 Wooden Flourishes Magical Butterflies | FL440 Wooden Flourishes Hearts | DD705 Decorative Die Swirl Flourish | LDB1054 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes – Love | KM108 Kaisermist Orange | IP729 Ink Pad Tangello | IP734 Ink Pad Red.

Other: sequins.

 

‘Perfect Happiness’ Layout

 

Green and white is such a beautiful, crisp combination for my last layout and the touch of black in the die cuts and stickers adds the perfect touch.

 

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2026 My Sweetheart | P2030 My Honey | P2031 My Precious | SS304 Sticker Sheet | PP988 Paper Pad | CT846 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | DD517 Decorative Die Tag Shapes | DD701 Decorative Die 6×4″ + 3×4″ Rectangles | IP730 Ink Pad Avocado.

Isn't it just the most gorgeous collection?

 

I will have a couple more projects using this range to share later in the month so keep an eye out for those.

 

Make sure you come back tomorrow to see what I did with the brand new # me collection.

Kraft + DT - Hashtag This

Happy new year!!

 

Welcome to my very first blog post for 2016!!

 

 

Today I am sharing my take on the brand new challenge for January at KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGES.

 

 

Here's a peek at the challenge.

 

 

Criteria
Kraft + Handwriting

 

 

This month's challenge might have a few of you cringing and may take you right out of your comfort zone, but others will find it quite easy.

This month we want you to HANDWRITE on your entry! 

Not many of us like our own handwriting,
but this month at  K+ we  want you all to embrace it!
Putting pen to paper and writing on your work puts a bit of YOU on your creations, something that future generations will cherish (no matter how messy you think it is)

**Please note..we are after YOUR handwriting!  Not fonts or script stamps, rub-ons etc.**

 

I have to admit that I was one of those cringing people. And then when I sat down to write about my photo I couldn't think of anything to write. So I brainstormed with Miss Hayley and came up with a list of words about my photo. As I was using one of my instagram photos I thought why not pretend these words are the hashtags that I would normally add to my IG photo and hence my background was created.

 

"Our Family Snap Shots" Layout

 

 

I came across an Aqua Paint Dabber in my stash that I hadn't used for a while so grabbed that to add a border around the edge of my kraft cardstock and that is what I based my colour palette around. I love the soft aqua with the kraft as well as the touches of gold.

 

 

All of those amazing chipboard pieces are by IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS and I am thrilled to say that I am designing for this fabulous chipboard company again this year. I will be sharing my class creations that I teach at Seriously Scrapbooking.

 

 

 

So get ready, get set, GO WRITE!! Make sure you get your entry in by the due date and don't forget it must be kraft based.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Cheers

Kraft + DT - Right Here

Hello!!

 

Have you spied the awesome challenge at KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGES for December??

 

Check this out.

 

 

 

It is time to get those travel photos and maps out for this month's December Challenge.
 

Wanderlust

 

Kraft + Travel + Maps

 

 

Cool!!!

 

Now normally we don't get the chance to travel anywhere except to the shops. We live on a farm and have tooo many animals to care for not to mention plant cuttings that need constant attention.

 

However in August this year, we went on a one day whirlwind trip to Sydney to visit Taronga Zoo. It was the most fun we have had in a long time and completely out of our comfort zone. And in typical fashion both kids came down with high temperatures that very morning. We went anyway loaded up with Panadol and a thermometer and neither of them complained one little bit about not feeling the best. So proud of them.

 

"Right Here" Layout

 

 

My daughter was so excited to see the Harbour Bridge from the window of the plane as we were flying in that I had to take a photo of it. That is the photo you see on my layout.

 

 

I have used some map patterned paper under my photo to fit the challenge. I also stamped the Darkroom Door World Map Background Stamp onto some tissue paper and added this onto my CHARM'S CREATIONS Chevron and Map Marker embellishments using gel medium.

 

 

I also used lots of DARKROOM DOOR stamps from the Sydney Vol. 1 Rubber Stamp Set.

 

This was such a fun layout to create. I do hope you get a chance to play along this month too. Head over to the blog HERE to check out all of the inspiration as well as the rules of play.

 

Thanks for stopping by.

 

Cheers

Kaisercraft DT - My Year, My Story

 

Hi papercrafters!!

 

Today I have a layout for KAISERCRAFT to share with you using the fun and funky My Year, My Story Collection.

 

 

 

My Year, My Story is so bright and happy and fun with some really funky embellishments as well as eye-catching papers. I just love the little cactus images!

 

Not only is this range perfect for decorating the journal planners, but can also be easily suited to layouts and cards.

 

“You Are My Sunshine” Layout

 

 

Lots of gorgeous yellow with a twist of lime. I sprayed the white paper doilies with some Kaisermist in Yellow and Lime Green and included amongst the many layers of co-ordinating papers.

 

 

This combination of colours worked perfectly with the dandelion tiara my daughter had made for herself in the photo. Who remembers doing that as a kid? Fun, right? I think I might put that on the list of things to do in the school holidays along with getting some Pine Lime Splices! :-)

 

Kaisercraft materials: P2000 Cactus | P2001 Shine | P2005 All Sorts | PP986 Paper Pad | SS302 Sticker Sheet | CT845 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | CD165 Kaisercard Splice | DD704 Decorative Die Hello | DD725 Decorative Die Card Creations – Butterflies Cardfront – C6 | FL301 Wood Flourishes Leaves | EM405 Paper Doilies White | LDB1053 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes Butterfly | KM103 Kaisermist Yellow | KM104 Kaisermist Lime Green.

 

Other: paper clips | wire thread. 

 

For my Adelaide peeps; I will be teaching this layout at Seriously Scrapbooking in March 2016. Keep your eyes peeled for a new schedule soon with all of the details.

 

Cheers

Belinda

Kaisercraft DT - Planning Ahead

 

Hello!!

 

Have you seen the brand new Journal Planners from KAISERCRAFT yet??

 

They are gorgeous!! And they come in three different colours; black, blush and breeze.

 

Check them out over HERE.

 

I couldn’t wait to start decorating my gorgeous new Journal Planner in readiness for the new year. I got myself the beautiful Breeze colour journal.

 

 

How gorgeous is that colour?

 

 

 

I have used the new My Year My Story Collection to decorate my planner and I decided to concentrate on one colour per month starting with my very favourite mint colour.

 

I started by altering the first divider page. The dividers all have the loveliest quotes on them so I made sure I decorated around the quote. :-)

 

I just adore that stunning new release Mint Glitter Tape so not only did I reinforce the edges of all of my pages with it, but I also created some die cut embellishments.

 

 

See that cute little star above? Well it was so easy to make and you will see lots of glitter embellishments scattered throughout my journal. I simply took a piece of scrap cardstock and covered it with the glitter tape carefully so that no gaps were showing. Then I ran it through my Big Shot with different dies to spread the glitter love all through my journal.

 

Here are a couple more pages.

 

 

How sweet is that wood veneer butterfly? It’s from the awesome new release Lucky Dip range.

 

Here’s a closer look.

 

 

And a few more pages.

 

 

 

 

I pretty much used up every single scrap of minty goodness in my stash!

 

I wonder what colour story I will use for February. Hmmm. Maybe some sunshiny yellow.

 

Kaisercraft materials: P1998 Minty | P2004 Good & Bad | P2006 To Do | PP986 Paper Pad | SS301 Sticker Sheet – Months | SS302 Sticker Sheet | CT845 Collectables | CS245 Clear Stamps | CD102 Kaisercard Licorice | CD163 Kaisercard Spearmint | PT228 Glitter Tape – Mint | CS159 Clear Stamp Polaroid | CS205 Clear Stamp Shine Bright | CS787 Clear Stamp Date | DD125 Decorative Die Bicycle | DD733 Decorative Die Months | DD347 Decorative Die Numbers | DD531 Decorative Die Nesting Stars | DD517 Decorative Die Tag Shapes | DD701 Decorative Die 6×4″ & 3×4″ Rectangles | DD704 Decorative Die Hello | LDB1053 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes Butterfly | LDB1055 Lucky Dip Wooden Shapes Flower | EM925 Paper Tags & Shapes Raw | SA053 Journal Planner – Breeze.

 

Other: wood veneer stars.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by and checking out my planner. Make sure you come back tomorrow to see the layout I created using this very same collection.

 

Cheers
