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.

Celebrate Today

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. I cannot believe that we are approaching the end of the month, one that has been filled with so many highs and lows. I am sharing two projects that feature products from Kaisercraft's Native Breeze Collection.

This collection is abundant with beautiful florals, that can potentially showcase so many occasions. I selected this title as I felt with so much sadness affecting us all with the bushfires, tragedies in the media we needed to find hope and some joy in our days.

My second project features the clear stamp from the collection. I stamped it onto Bristol smooth cardstock and used my zig markers to colour it in.

It is such a pretty stamp and watercolour markers really are easy to work with.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. Today I am sharing a card which I have made for Kaisercraft which features the stamp set from the Lady Like collection. This is a beautiful vintage floral collection. For my card, I heat embossed the stamp using gold embossing powder and used my zig markers to colour the images in.

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. Today I am sharing two cards which are part of the Magenta Collection by Kaisercraft. When I saw the stamp set, I immediately knew that I would love to create some watercoloured cards using them. I created two cards using two mediums - mists and watercolour markers, both fun to use and both producing different results. 

Apply generous drops of Kaiser Mists onto a laminated surface and then spritz it with water.

Press a piece of watercolour paper over and then dry with a heat gun. This creates a watercoloured background that can be used on its own or as a background that can be stamped upon.

You can use different mists to create different colour combinations.

Position the stamps strategically and fussy cut the images once stamped.

This technique is a great introduction to watercolouring for those who are willing to have a try!

OTHER: Zig Markers, Versafine Onyx Black Ink, Strathmore Bristol Smooth Cardstock

My second card features watercolour markers to showcase the floral stamps.

I selected these images from the stamp set and coloured them in using a light and a dark coloured maker to add some definition. I also chose dark papers to add a contrast with my flowers as I wanted them to stand out.

Watercolour is a great technique to use and can be applied using markers as well as mists.

If you decide to try these techniques, be sure to share them on the Kaisercraft Corner Facebook Group  or tag #kaisergallery on Instagram.

Just Because

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. Lately I have found that I have lost my mojo....burnt out. No motivation whatsoever. Should be thinking about things for school (new grade), making craft projects as I have free time being on school holidays but NOPE.... nothing....zilch...a big fat ZERO. The end of last year was so busy....so many deadlines, my time was dictated to the minute in order to get everything finished, then I had to host Christmas and you get the picture rush rush rush.

In order to break my cycle I brought out the markers, popped on some tunes on Spotify and started to colour. It seems to be therapy for me. I made two cards as a result. I think the drought is starting to crack. I have made a card that is not my usual style but it was just created for enjoyment.

I stamped my images and heat embossed using white embossing powder. I then used Zig Markers to colour my images in. I used some cardstock as borders and that is all.

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew Beautiful Day, Hero Arts Many Messages, My Favourite Things Distressed Patterns

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black

Markers: Zig Markers Deep Red 260, Pale Rose 230, May Green 047, Green 040

Dies: Altenew Beautiful Day Dies

Other: Hero Arts White Embossing Powder, Bristol Smooth Paper, Darice Crystal Cup Sequins

Thank You

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the long weekend! Today I am sharing a card that I have made using some stamps ans watercolour markers. As it is the start of the school holidays (YAH!!) I always take the opportunity to work on some techniques and create something. Usually it involves colouring as it is a skill I enjoy v=but need to keep working at perfecting.

In my head I planned this card and nearly threw it out when I die cut my elements, however once I added my sentiment it came together! I used a Prima background stamp and stamped it onto kraft cardstock to create a vintage look.

I stamped some Altenew flowers and leaves and coloured them in using Zig markers and a waterbrush pen. I die cut them out using the coordintaing dies, but trimmed some of the excess of with my scissors. In the end, I am happy with how the card turned out and glad it didn't end up in the bin!

Supplies:

Stamps: Altenew Peony Scroll, Simon Says Stamp Handwritten Borders, Prima 5 x 7 Cling Stamp Texture

Ink: Distress Ground Espresso, Versamark, Versafine Onyx Black

Markers: Zig Markers Persian Green 033, Emerald Green 048 and Green 040
