Elegant Birthday Card

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am digging into my supplies and using things in my stash that I have not used in a while or have not had the time to use. I have been a fan of Spellbinders dies for a very long time because I love the details you can achieve.

I used Kaisercraft papers and stamp set to create my sentiment. I also added flowers to create the elegance which I like to use. To complete my card I used some pearls.

It felt so good to use supplies from my stash. Please note, I am not sure if these products are still available but I will still list them in case you are interested.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Lady Like 61/2" paperpad PP1080, Kaisercard Forest CD114, Snow CD301

Stamp: Kaisercraft Birthday Wishes Sentiment CS362 

Dies: Spellbinders Becca Feeken Chantilly Paper Lace S5327, Kaisercraft Small Nested Shapes Nesting Dies

Baby Card

 

Hello everyone! It has been a little while since I have posted. I have been busy and have neglected my blog and social media as a result. I have been creating in the background, but projects that take a bit more time and I will be sharing those soon. But today I am sharing a card that I made for grade partner who had a baby girl a few months ago. Of course I went with the vintage style which I love.

I used Maja Design papers and I used some die cuts to decorate along with some coordinating blooms from my stash. She loved the card and placed it the nursery.

As always, stay safe and well.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are keeping well. Today I am sharing another Christmas card and it features Harvey by Tim Holtz. I was so excited when I saw this die as I love the nutcracker and I think this die is perfect! It is part of the Sizzix colorize range so it in theory shouldn't be difficult to construct. 

Once I had everything cut out, I inked the edges using distress ink using a sponge dauber to give it an vintage look. Then I went through my stash and pulled out a series of dies and went from there. I loved My Memory Box tree die so I used it again as the scale was perfect with Harvey and I used an old Kaisercraft presents die.

To finish it off, I die cut an oldie but a goodie Spellbinders oval die and inked it with antique linen distress ink and a blending brush to get that aged look. I made my poinsettia and glued everything into place. 

Supplies:

Birthday Wishes

 Hello everyone! It's been a very long while but I am very happy to be able to share a birthday card with you today. It's using paper from Kaisercraft's new release Lilac Mist.

To create my card, I wanted to showcase lots of the papers as I had a difficult time deciding which ones I wanted to use as I liked them all. To help me in my design decision, I pulled out of the paper pad some papers that were my first choice - which were four! Next I went to Pinterest and had a look at the card sketches. I often do this to kick start my ideas and then I found a sketch that appealed to me. This sketch would enable me to showcase the papers I selected plus provide me with some options in my composition.

My take on the sketch....

To get the dimensions of the smaller squares, I just cut out scrap paper and played around with them until I was happy with everything. 

Once my papers were positioned, I embellished with flowers and dies from previous releases.

Pretty Floral Slimline Cards

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am sharing two slimline cards using papers and products from the gorgeous Flower Shoppe Collection by Kaisercraft. Slimline cards are very on trend at the moment and I wanted to have a try at creating this type of card.

In this card, I wanted to use lots of flowers and the butterflies. I stacked the flowers over some die cut cuts, plus some collectable pieces. I also used some fish tails, to take advantage of the length of this card design.

To create the base of my cards, I used a strong A4 cardstock. I trimmed it down to 8" x 9". On a scoreboard, with the 8" side facing the top, I scored it down the centre at 4", creating a 4" x 9" card.

For my second card, I created the same cardbase as above and utilised the pretty collectables to decorate my card.

To create a shabby chic look, I used some decorative dies as accents.

Christmas Greetings

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am so happy to share a Christmas card with you from a stunning collection called Whimsy Wishes. It has beautiful blue tones, accompanied by soft pastel illustrations featured in the collectables and also in the papers. When I have more time and I need to make more cards for my family and friends, I am coming back to this collection to create more!

I wanted to create a vintage styled card, so I selected some complimentary papers and a kraft base. I used neutral flowers, doilies and then I could select any greeting from the paper pad to complete my card.

Merry Christmas | Kaisercraft

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you have had a great week. Today I am sharing another Christmas card with you. This time it is with Kaisercraft's second Christmas release which is called Emerald Eve. This has a more traditional feel, which I do like in Christmas cards.

 

 

I love foliage on cards.  I added dimension by using layers of cardstock leaves to create fullness and texture. The gold swirl also contributes to the traditional feel that I also like as well.

Peace and Joy Card Tutorial

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I was doing a bit of a hard drive clean up, and I came across some unedited card making footage. I have just finished editing and thought that I would share, thinking that some ladies may be starting to make their Christmas cards. 

Please note that this is NOT a current release, but you may be inspired to use this design for a current card OR you may still have this collection in your stash.

Here is a link to the original blog post.

Little Treasures

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. It has been a little while since I have shared a papercraft post. With the delays in shipping, this has affected the release of collections from Kaisercraft however the wait is worth it. This collection is gorgeous. If you have baby photos or need to make some baby cards, Little Treasures will make your task easier.

Kaisercraft has been incorporating past die releases to compliment current paper collections. I have used the sketched circle and heart dies to create my own chipboard  pieces which I altered by stamping them in Versamark ink and heat embossing them with white and pink embossing powder.

I also used the paper pad and the coordinating stamp set to create a baby boy card.

I heat embossed the stamp and used my zig markers to colour the stamped whimsical image in. To age the background, I used some distress ink.

To view the products and also the full instructions for both of my projects, stop by the Kaisercraft blog for more information.

Art Foam Daisy Tutorial

Hello everyone! I hope you are having a great Australia Day long weekend. Tomorrow I return back to school and I cannot believe how quickly the Christmas holiday break went. I have been planning on editing this tutorial for a while and I only managed to get it done today.

These are some daisies that I have in my garden. These photos were taken last year before all of the heat waves that we have had. After seeing how pretty they were, I was inspired to make some daisies.

Below is a video tutorial that I have made which shows you my process. After listening to my voice over. I did notice that sometimes I call my 'wooden skewer' a 'stylus' but I think you should be able to over look that error. Sorry!
