One last layout with FP True Friend for All About Scrapbooks

Ooooops!!!  :-/

 

I've just realised there's a layout I forgot to share from my November DT work for All About Scrabooks....with one last layout using the fabulous True Friend collection from Fancy Pants!

 

I have loved the variety of layouts I have managed to create from this fun collection.

 

"Best Mates"

I love the darker background paper here....I think it has a bit of a formal feel to it, so thought it would be great used as the backdrop with these pics of my 2 boys all dressed up for a Deb Ball my DS was in.  And the Yellow papers also went well with the yellow canola in the background of the photos.

 

Here's a couple of close ups...

Love myself some 2Crafty chippie <3

 

 

And some more 2Crafty :)

 

 

As always, all the details on products & techniques used are over on the AAS blog HERE

 

Thanks again for visiting today :) xx

 

Kaisercraft DT - POP!

Hello everyone, and a good Sunday morning to you all :)

 

Today I am back to share the 3rd Kaisercraft release for December....and it is a bright, colourful & cheery one called POP!  It would be perfect for birthday layouts, cards, invitations & the like.

 

But, me being me....I always like to do something outside of what a collection is themed for!

I'm such a rebel...LOL!

 

 

"The Dingle Coast"

I decided to do a travel page, from our holiday last year on the Dingle Coast in Ireland.

I picked out the blues & greens from the POP! collection to go with the gorgeous blues & greens in the photos.  If you've ever wondered....yep, Ireland REALLY is THAT green!

 

 

Of course, there are always the perfect coloured paper blooms to go with all of Kaisercraft's collections, as you can see here in my cluster.  I've also added some punched & diecut leaves, butterflies & stamped windmills that come in the POP! - quotes clear stamp set, plus a few other bits from my stash.

 

 

More stamped windmills topped off with a KC rhinestone....and some stickers from the Sticker sheet.

 

 

I have used a couple of the Captured Moments 6x4 cards from the Sprinkles pack....which is designed to go with the POP! collection, layered in behind my photo.  I know I've said this before....but these really do make layering on your page so, so quick & easy.  I'm not a PL scrapper, so this is the perfect way for me to use these fab little gems :)

Next I have created a couple of simple cards...

 

"Happy Birthday Card"

Again, I've used one of the CM 6x4 cards as the main piece on the card, which is on top of the yellow Party Time paper...then I've cut a few pieces from the Sugar paper & rolled them up to create the cute little candles....tieing them together with a piece of orange ribbon from my stash. 

 

 

I stamped the Happy Birthday using the POP! quotes stamp set and then cut it out & mounted it up on some small foam dots.

"There's much to celebrate card"

Again, I've covered my card with a piece of PP - Polka, and then used one of the CM 6x4 cards on top.  The POP! collection comes with 2 stamp sets...Quotes & another called Treats.  I have stamped the balloons using the cute little balloon stamps from the Treats set in a variety of colours, popped them up on some foam tape to form a nice bunch & then added some twine for the balloon strings :) 

 

"There's much to celebrate" is another of the stamps from the Quotes stamp set.

As I said previously....there's so many stamps in these collections, making them perfect for B'day layouts, cards or invitations.

Ok, so that is all from me for my Kaisercraft work for December.

 

I am going to be taking a bit of a scrappy break in the lead up to Christmas, so things will be a bit quiet around here....perhaps giving me time to visit everyone elses

blogs that I am way WAY behind on :(

 

Anyways....you can find the POP! collection over at the All About Scrapbooks online store HERE

 

And for more inspiration using this collection, pop on over to the Kaisercraft blog HERE

So, until next time (which will probably be next year - eeeek, that sounds scary!)

I hope you all have a safe & Merry Christmas...and I'll see you in 2015.

Kaisercraft DT - Cherry Blossom

Good morning all...and happy Friday :)

 

Today I'm back to share my DT work for Kaisercraft using the gorgeously beautiful Cherry Blossom collection....this one is really really pretty!  Think cherry blossoms, Japanese themed....but of course you could create any themed layout with it.

 

First up I have a layout....and I've gone for a bit of a monochromatic theme, picking out all the pink coloured papers & embellishments from the Collectables pack, sticker sheet & paper pad.

 

There are other colours in this collection....soft teal/mint greens & soft mango/oranges along with a variety of shades of pink.  As I said, it is really really pretty <3

 

 

 

"Hello Beautiful"

Here's one of those chevron papers again...so as you can tell, they are my fav!  As I tend to use my favourite papers as my backgrounds....this one is called "Fragrance" 

 

 

The title I cut from the Sunrise paper and have mounted it up on some foam tape.

 

 

I love those gorgeous little lanterns from the Collectables pack....and I've also included some of the beautiful cherry blossoms, that are also in the Collectables pack. 

 

 

More Collectables pieces...including the little journal card.

And down below the photo I've used one of the new KC photo overlays - from the Love Life pack

 

 

How gorgeous is the floral cherry blossom paper that I've cut into a banner shape?  So so pretty <3 

 

Pic is of my gorgeous little Great Niece....Olivia <3

"Something to remember" Gift Box

 

 

I've prettied up a paper maché box with a variety of papers, blooms, Collectables pieces....and also some KC lace & some muslin.

 

I've added a bit of stencil work on the top with modelling paste, before adding the embellishments.

It is a cute little box & will be perfect for adding a small gift for someone :)

Kaisercraft DT - Sandy Toes

Hello everyone...wow, so here we are in December!  eeeeek....where has the year gone?!

Oh that's right....time flies when you're having fun, as the saying goes :) 

And it sure has been a super busy year...somehow even more busier than the previous year!

 

December means 3 new paper collections for Kaisercraft....and all 3 are absolute crackers!!!

 

The first up today is....."Sandy Toes", perfect for all those beach/water themed layouts!

 

My first project using Sandy Toes is this one....

 

"A day on the harbour"

Oh how I love that chevron paper for the background!  it is the reverse side of the Beach Bum paper, and I love how it has that ..... effect.  I have also used some more of the fabo corrugated cardboard sheets to layer up behind my photos, as well as some papers from the paper pad and some punchinella that the beautiful Catie Kennedy sent to me quite some time ago (sorry that it's taken me so long to actually use it Catie!)

 

 

Of course, what is a layout from me without a cluster?!?!? LOL

Some gorgeous KC blooms, Collectables pieces & diecut leaves.

 

 

Stickers & Collectables pieces layered around the page...love them!

 

 

 

This gorgeous lamp post is one of the newly released Kaisercraft dies!

I think it goes perfect with this layout.  I covered some KC chipboard with paper from the paper pad & then used my Cuttlebug to cut it out.  Backing it with chipboard just gives it that bit more stability & definition on the page :)

 

 

I've randomly & roughly punched the edges of some of my layered papers....I didn't want them to be perfectly punched, I wanted them to be rough & uneven....just to give a bit of a rustic feel to the page.

Other – Flower, Punchinella, Leaf Die, Cardstock, Gesso, Border punch, Twine

 

 

 

Next up is a beyond the page project.....

 

"Magnetic Wall Planner"

 

I decided to make the wall planner as a magnetic board, rather than a chalk board or cork board….even though I have used a sheet of KC cork, I don’t think this would hold up to having pins pushed in it as a cork board, so I opted to add a magnetic sheet in behind the cork,

so that even flair buttons can be used to hold little notes etc to the board.

 I love the look of this with the cork background though :)

 

 

I just LOVE the woodgrain paper that I've used to cover the planner, which is the reverse side of the Surf paper.  I then just used strips from the Waves paper, the sticker sheet & also some of the cut off strips from the bottom of the papers to create a bit more interest to the planner. 

 

I adhered all of the papers to the planner using Bostik BluStick....and I found this to be so so easy.  I have used craft glue in the past, but find that you have to get just the right amount of glue onto the project for things to turn out well.  If there's too much glue, the paper starts to buckle and warp....which is not good!  So my suggestion for adhering the papers to these types of BTP items, is to use a really good glue stick!

 

Then once the paper & glue is dry, trim off any excess paper with your craft knife :)

 

 

A cute little cluster of blooms & Collectables pieces <3

 

 

I also added a few metal clips that can also serve as clips up on the magnetic board.

 

 

I just had to create a little banner with these fabo Collectables pieces....all joined with a simple piece of twine.

 

 

The magnetic sheet I used is A4 sized that I trimmed down and adhered to the backing board in behind the cork sheet....then finished it off by adhering the cork sheet over the top.

 

 

The planner itself, which is Kaisercraft, of course.....was really really easy peasy to put together!

Much simpler than I thought it was going to be, and is all held together

with a small amount of craft glue

 

I can't wait to get this piece hung up in my scrap room & to start using it :)))
