Kaisercraft Hidden Treasures Collection

Cool Wheels Layout

Hello everyone. I am sharing my projects that I have completed using Kaisercraft's Hidden Treasures Collection. It's such a wonderful collection that captures things of the past and also is perfect for both masculine and feminine projects. I have selected a photo of my brother in my my LO. As a boy, he could ride any bike..... I think he could ride before he walked! I also experimented with some techniques...a bit of grunge to make it more masculine.

My first attempt was a disaster! I wanted to cry. I had been working on it after I did my school work during the week and I had lots of embellishments that took a long time to add textures to. I managed to peel them off the  page and save them all as well as the background paper. My only loss was one piece of patterned paper. Phew!!!

Lessons learnt.

1. Use scrap paper to experiment beforehand.
2. Time to start an art journal.

I used a lot of chipboard pieces on this LO. I placed them inside an embossing folder and ran it through my Grand Calibur. I either sprayed them with a spray or used distress crackle paint. I really liked how they look different and have some texture.

I also added some jute. I used my crochet needle and chained approx twenty stitches. I added them to to the banners, just for some more texture.

For part of my title, I stamped some letters, punched them out and inked the edges. I also added some scalloped circles to add to the circular themes that I have with the cogs etc. I used some foam tape to add dimension to them as well.

The chevrons were so easy. I have a chevron die which helps to. I used some raw chipboard and ran it through my Grand Calibur. Then I placed them onto an ink pad and pressed them down with my finders. They look splotchy which is exactly the look that I wanted.

After my initial drama, I'm glad it all worked out!

Friends Are Treasures

My second project is a card. Its feminine and elegant. I used a lot of dies in this card and also foam tape to add the dimension between the layers.

The sentiment is a rub on from the collection. I inked the centre oval while the cardstock was still in the die before adding the rub on. I used the same die, traced around it onto dark blue cardstock to add a thin border. This was then added as a layer to another die cut.

Kaisercraft Lady Rose Collection

Treasured Memory

Hello again. Today I am sharing my projects that I have created using the Lady Rose Collection from Kaisercraft. I was absolutely smitten when I saw this collection...vintage...shabby chic....sigh. I decided to use a  family portrait photo for this layout and I think I will frame it and hang it up at home. I used a lot of layers and elements in my layout and loved every second of it!

I used a TCW template to create a frame. I traced it twice and used the second to cut a border using scallop scissors to frame the first paper. I inked it up and sewed them together.

To dress up this wooden flourish, I used distress crackle paint and let it dry overnight. I used distress paint to paint the heart. Once dry, I applied glimmer glaze to add some sparkle.

I used a SU! flower die to create this flower. Later on I'll post a tutorial on how to make it.

I used a Lindy's Stamp Gang spray to colour this wooden title. I applied two coats. This spray is a two tone spray which also glimmers. I absolutely love it! Behind my title, I used a make up sponge to apply some distress ink then used a script mask and modelling paste.

Keep Smiling Card

This card has many layers. I used Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles and let the dies do all of the work! I had a few problems with the centre and couldn't find anything that would work. I used the stamps from the collection and found a sentiment to fit the oval perfectly!
