Kaisercraft DT - Back to Basics

Good morning all :)

Today I am sharing my Kaisercraft DT creations with the last collection released for May,

Back to Basics!

This is such a pretty collection...the colours, the patterns, all g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s!!

There are 2 double sided papers in each colour, giving 4 patterns - stripes, polka dots, Damask & script type text...and there's 6 different colours.  They all mix & match together perfectly :)

There's also no Collectables, stamps etc with this collection...so it's as the name suggests, 

Back to Basics!  It does, however, come with some fabulous Captured Moments cards, 

in both 3x4 & 4x6, called "Necessities".

Here is what I've created....

Set of 3 Large Tag Wall Hangings....

The large tags are actually meant to be a BTP tag album.  I have soooo many mini albums of all descriptions, that I decided to do something different with them.  I found a couple of my favourite creative type quotes & decided to make the big tags into lovely decorated quote tags 

to hang on my scraproom wall :)

I chose the pink, Seabreeze & Beige papers, making sure each of these colours were used as the base of each tag ...and also made sure that I didn't use the same pattern on each one.

Here's some close ups of the individual tags.....

After covering each tag, I have then used the 4x6 Necessities Captured Moments card as the centre piece of each tag...then embellished with a variety of goodies.

A really OLD KC wooden flourish - Roman Clock Face, a few paper blooms, Berry Vine diecut leaves, some lace, pearls & punched butterflies...as well as a few bits from my stash.  I finished each tag off with some twine at the top.  I plan to attach them to the wall with a hook that will sit inside the hole of the tag.

Love this quote! and it's soooo true :)

I've used basically the same/similar embellies on each tag.  This one has a KC birdcage wooden flourish, again more paper blooms, lace, pearls, diecut leaves & also some cut lattice using the Lattice decorative die, at the sides of the centre paper on the tag.

The cute little birdie is 2Crafty chipboard.

I let the lace overhang the tag slightly on each side, just for something a little different. 

Yep, my scraproom usually looks like chaos!!! lol

The 3rd tag has a Hot Air Balloon wooden flourish...and also similar embellies as the previous 2 tags.

I also let the diecut doily hang over the side of the tag too.

Gotta have imagination, that's for sure!

Next I've created a PL pocket style page...but as a 12x12 layout.

"A day at the Japanese Gardens"

Again, I have used the "Necessities" Captured Moments cards....but I trimmed them down slightly so that they fitted the page.  You could easily just use PP's cut to size to achieve the same thing :)

Normally I would choose photos to suit the colours of the papers...but this PL style scrapping doesn't seem to need that?...not sure why that is, but for some reason I felt comfortable to not worry about the colours matching!  lol

Here's a few close ups....

I also added some stamps from previous collections - Wanderlust & Outdoor Trail.

Plus a few different embellies from my stash...mostly veneers & cork embellies.

The title is KC alpha stickers - Seabreeze.

And the little trees are quite OLD KC wooden flourishes.

I coloured a few of the veneers with my trusty gelatos :D

And of course, a bit of journaling.
