Kaisercraft DT - Sea Breeze Collection

Hi!!

 

Just popping in to share lots of projects for KAISERCRAFT featuring the stunning and inspiring April release Sea Breeze. There’s so much to love in this collection. I just love the beautiful blue beach inspired papers in this range.

 

 

 

 

I absolutely love the beach so this was the perfect collection for me. It is so easy to be inspired by this range as you will see by the amount of layouts I have created. :-)

 

‘Enjoy Today’ Layout

 

 

I have used the wonderful Ripple Gloss Specialty Paper and altered it with Kaisermists in Turquoise, Charcoal and white. I have added lots of layers of lovely patterned paper and fussy cut some flowers from the papers too.

 

 

Kaisercraft materials: PS448 Ripple Gloss Specialty Paper | P2016 Waterlily | P2017 Refresh | P2018 Waterfall | P2019 Lake | P2022 Swirl | SS310 Sticker Sheet | CT853 Collectables | CD101 Kaisercard Coconut | CD651 Kaisercard Kraft | IP727 Ink Pad Lagoon | KM101 Kaisermist Charcoal | KM105 Kaisermist Turquoise | KM111 Kaisermist White | PT228 Glitter Tape Mint.

 

 

‘Treasured Frame’

 

 

For this project, I wanted to create a lovely beach themed shadow box. I started with the fabulous Hexagon Frame and covered it with the Sea patterned paper. I wanted to be able to sit the sweet little Corked Bottles in the frame so I cut extra hexagons from thick chipboard (about 6 all up) to make the frame deeper.

 

I had fun filling those little bottles up with sand, beads and tiny stones to co-ordinate with the collection.

Kaisercraft DT - Story Book Collection

Hello!!

 

Today I have lots of projects to share with you featuring the fabulous Story Book Collection by KAISERCRAFT.

 

 

 

This is such a gorgeously vintage range with a masculine feel. The perfect range for a bookworm like me. I just love the woodgrain paper!

 

 

‘Together’ Layout

 

 

I distressed and tore the edges of some of the papers on this layout which works really well with these designs. I used the brand new Nesting Stitched Squares Decorative Die to create a matte for my photo.

‘Happy Today’ Layout

 

 

For this layout I wanted to feature that fabulous black leather look patterned paper. It worked so well with the dark background of my photo. I also had a lot of strips of patterned paper from the paper pad on my desk leftover from other projects. I hate to waste anything so I layered lots of these strips underneath my photo to create a frame. I even added the leftover negative images from tabs that I had die cut. Waste not, want not. ;-)

Kraft + DT - Black & White

Hooray for the weekend!!

 

It's going to be a full on weekend for me with a trip to Carrick Hill planned as well as attending an all day photography course at the zoo!! I am hoping to pick up lots of tips and tricks to improve my photography skills.

 

Not only that but yesterday my hubby and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Yay for us!! :-)

 

Anyway, let's get to what we are really here for. The brand new AWESOME April challenge at KRAFT PLUS CHALLENGES.

 

 

Just look at that gorgeous inspiration!

 

Here's what I created.

 

'Capture Love' Layout

 

 

I used the most fabulous '+' sign stencil from FLUTTERBY DESIGNS on my background, lots of amazing chipboard from IMAGINARIUM DESIGNS and a triangle embellishment from CHARM'S CREATIONS.

 

 

 

How cute is that fussy cut stamped dog image?? That is a stamp created by the amazing Louise Nelson entitled 'Finneak' and inspired by my little dog Finn. Thanks so much for letting me use the image Louise!

 

You can check out all of the inspiration from the design team and guest designers over HERE. Check out our generous sponsors too.

 

I do hope you get a chance to play along this month!

 

Cheers

Charms Creations DT - Girly Layouts

Happy Saturday!!

 

I am back to share a couple of sweet girly layouts I created using some gorgeous CHARM'S CREATIONS embellishments.

 

 

'Hello Love' Layout

 

 

I used the March sketch at Scrap The Girls for this layout with lots of black and gold and white which matched that stunning Feather Button Lollipop perfectly.

 

Here's a closer look.

 

 

I also used a DIY Terrific Tab that I altered with some Charcoal Kaisermist and a spritz of water.

 

 

 

 

 

'# happy' Layout

 

 

I have used bits and pieces from one of Charm's Mixed Kits including pink and cream 'XO' as well as a Terrific Tab. There are also some mini crochet doilies, a wood veneer girl and a kraft tag all from the same kit. I love these kits so much. It makes putting a layout together so easy. And in case you hadn't heard, there is a Mixed Kit Release coming up very soon. Awesome!!

 

Make sure you join the event on the facebook page over here: https://www.facebook.com/events/788091391295946/

 

Here's a closer look at some of the elements on my layout.

 

 

Thanks for stopping by!!
