Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy “Soft ivory tones and vintage floral sketches make Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy a decidedly provincial affair. While bright splashes of colourful green and blue offer a fresh take on an otherwise traditionally vintage collection.” ~ Kaisercraft Kaisercraft Open Road “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oii, Oii, Oii!

Hi there everyone… thanks for stopping by here today. I have created another layout for Kaisercraft using the new collection of papers "Old Mac". As the name suggests, it is a very country themed paper collection. Using the new Decorative die cut from Kaisercraft "Gumnuts" DD359, I created a cluster of them, colouring in the gum nuts with inks and pens, giving them a little depth. "Discover" layout using Old Mac paper collection and DD359 Gumnuts I love the country and rustic appeal with these papers, I will be back with more inspiring projects later this month, that I have created using this month's paper collection. Cheers Adriana XX Until next time :)

Hi Kaisercrafters,This month Kaisercraft have 2 fabulous new Collections. “Coastal Escape”, the beautiful beach inspired range in gorgeous blue, aqua and cream tones with the new co-ordinating fishin

Happiness is... woodgrain paper!! I really could end this post with that, because I love woodgrain so so very much! The Kaisercraft Storybook collection just made my heart happy. It was so easy to create male themed layouts and cards with and it was universal enough to get some photos of my little girl scrapped as well. Here is a little look at what I created for the March Kit Club. Don't forget that if you want further information and instructions for any of these layouts, you can get your hands on them when purchasing a kit. Better still, you receive 10% off if you subscribe to the Kit Club for 6 or more months. YOU MAKE ME SMILE LAYOUT LIVE IN THE MOMENT LAYOUT STORY BOOK COLLECTION - CARDS

Captured dreams It is the time for the final round for Kaisercraft's design team for next year, 2016 - 2017. I have really enjoyed being on the design team this year, and would love to get another chance. I have tried to capture my dreams in this final, and created a vintage camera (Rollei flex) with a mini album inside. Basic Kaisercraft materials All the finalist got the same kit to work with. Boho dreams collection with papers, collectables and stamps, together with cork cardstock, Kaisermists, stencils and flowers.

Why this project? To find inspiration for my projects, I start with looking at the papers, colours, patterns and shapes. The Boho dream collection is full of dream catchers, feathers, bicycles and vintage cameras. I really enjoy creating of the page items, together with mixed media, cards and layouts. I wanted to combine the four in one project. I created a vintage camera with a mini album inside. The mini album is describing me a bit as a crafter, as I enjoy creating a lot of mini albums from scratch. The camera is also quite personal, as my dad was a photographer, and he gave me a camera when I was six years old, and tough me a lot about photographing as a grew up. Vintage camera The vintage camera has been built from scratch. I used photos of Rollei flex cameras as a model for the camera. The lenses for the camera is created with acetate sheets. The hinge at and the knob at the side turns around. The camera opens at the top and reveals the minialbum Building the camera. The camera was built in cardboard. It is built as a square box, opening in the lid and lenses at the front. The box was measured to fit the minialbum. The pieces was cut out of cardboard. The lid and the box was glued together using strong tape. Then I added the lid to the box, using the tape as a hinge, at the front of the camerabox (bottom left photo). I added the tape to the inside and outside of the box, to make it stable. I added some strips of cardboard on the inside of the top of the camera (picture in the bottom middle) to make the lid stable, when it is closed. This was my main box for the camera. Then I covered the cardboard camera with black cardstock, and created panels out of the paper P2106 Dreamcatcher, and added golden sheets under the panels to create the golden edges. Minialbum The minialbum has been created from scratch out of cardbard and cardstock. Creating the minialbum: The cover pages were cut out of card board. I generally make the cover 1/2cm larger than the album pages on the top, bottom and the side (not at the back, as the pages are mounted close to the back of the cover). If I add extra tags, I might make the cover even larger. I have also added two extra sides on the right in the photo, because I wanted the album to fold around itself and lock at the front. I have added the measurements on my cover. (My pages are 10cm high and 14,5cm wide). I glued the pages together with strong tape, making sure there is 1/2cm in between the card board sides. By doing this, there will be space for the cover to bend and open. Then I covered the front of the album with patterned paper, as you would cover a school book with paper or plastic, to protect it. Making sure that the bike pattern on the front is kept as I would like it be. Then I added paper on the back of the mini album. I chose to have a leather look at the back of the book. Then I added patterned paper to the inside of the back of the album. I also scored the paper that is going to bind the book (bottom of the photo). I call this binder from now on (just to make it easier to follow). This piece has to be as tall as your pages in your mini album. My album pages are 10cm tall, so this was the height of my paper. Score the strip, according to how many pages you want in your album. I have got 5 pages in my album (and flaps and tags). I started to score after 3 cm, then i scored after 1cm, and 1cm again and again (I scored a total of 16 times after 1 cm), and then cut the strip after another 3cm, after the last score. The 3cm on each side will be for used for support to fix the binding to the cover. Then I used tape on two and two of the flips that are going to bind the pages in the album together. Make sure that there is 1cm strip in between every glued flip. This will give you room to decorate the pages, (To make this easy, count from the side - do not glue the 3cm strip - count one 1cm strip. Add tape to the second strip, Count two 1cm strips and add tape to the 5th 1cm strip. Count two, and add tape to the 8th 1cm strip and so on) Then I glued the binder of the album, down to the back of the cover (on the inside of the cover). Make sure that the binder is straight in the middle of the back. The 3cm sides are also glued down to the cover. Then I added patterned paper the inside of the cover. The paper covers the 3 cm edges of the binder. Then I cut the pages. I use double pages for strength, and to make it easier to fix them to the binder. This is one of the pages with space for a tag. I fix the pages to the binder, by gluing each side of the double page on the outside of the little flip in the binder. Then I glue the pages together. Leaving an opening where I want to add a tag. Then I added the rest of the pages to the album. The album is ready to be decorated. How I decorated my mini album I tried to use all the papers in the collection in this mini album. I wanted to use mixed media, feature tags, layouts and pop ups. The album has five pages, and lots of flaps and two tags. The cover is gently decorated at the front with an acetate sticker (ST928 Life).The inkpads and the mists have been used throughout the album. The first page is gently decorated with some background stamps, a bit of Kaisercraft's new black glitter cardstock and a notise that has been cut out from one of the papers. The first page is a pop up page. I have used gesso and Kaisermists on the background. I have added pieces from the colletables, die cuts from the paper and wooden embellishments from Kaisercraft. I really enjoy creating pop ups. This is a simple and basic version. On these pages, I have used cardstock and an embossing folder. The embossing shows better in the film at the bottom of the post. "The little things" text, is a die from Kaisercraft. The text is created with Kaisercrafts glitter card stock. This page has been created using Kaisercrafts cork board, background text stamp, Kaisermists, wooden embellishments, Kaisercraft's stencil and the dreamcatchers from the Collectables. I cut the cork to size, stamped with the background stamp, and added mists as drops. I added gesso over the stencil and added finer mist using a "craft toothbrush". Then I dismantled the feathers from the dream catchers and added them, together with some of the texts from the collection. I have added some tags in between some of the pages. The text, dreamer, has been cut with a Silhouette. On the middle page, I have added some mixed media. Using mists, adding some Kaiser blooms, wooden embellishments and beads. The ground is made of pieces of cork board. The Adventure awaits and the flowers are from the collectables. The first page here, is made with cork board. I have also used one of Kaisercraft's new dies, DD369 Decorative Die Oval Vintage Frame. I have added a piece of stamped cork inside the oval. This is a mixed media page, created on Kaisercraft's Kraft carstock. I have used the new feather template, using mists and texture pastes. The gear is a die from Kaisercraft (DD706). I have used stamps on the background and created arrows with Kaisercrafts black glitter cardstock. The photo is of me, looking out over the ocean by the amazing Rocks at Kangeroo Island. On this page, I have used white embossed cardstock. I have added a tag in between the pages. The dreamcatcher on the tag, is from the Boho dreams sticker sheet. This photo was taken in January, in front of the Hollywood sign. The text is a die from Kaisercraft, made from black glitter cardstock. This is a mixed media page. I have used mists and background stamps on the background. Then I added paper in layers, and the circle diecut. The letter "summer" are made with glitter cardstock and cork as a shadow. I have also used wooden embellishments, coloured with Kaiserink. The last page is simply decorated with gesso, cork banners and a text. This page has a tag, that can be opened into a pop up page. On this last page, I created a Volkswagen buss. The papers inspired me to create the bus, as the colours and patterns reminded me about the 60's.

Hi There! I am a little behind in sharing my designing team projects for Kaisercraft ... Today I have altered a Journal & a layout work...

Добрый день, дорогие друзья! Сегодня пятница, а впереди два замечательных выходных, чтобы отдохнуть и немножко потворить. Вот мы к вам и с новым вдохновением - тренд Бохо! Я думаю, что многие уже знакомы с этим стилем, так как он сейчас достаточно популярен. И многие производители выпустили потрясающие коллекции, с которыми новые идеи фонтанируют в нашей голове. Этот стиль очень богат и разнообразен, он может быть как страстным и насыщенным, так нежным и монохромным. Многие видят его по-разному, но все же можно выделить несколько характерных особенностей, которые его отличают. Эксперты моды расшифровывают его название от цыганского «bohеmiens». Так называли жителей региона центральной Европы — Богемии: цыган и кочевников. Этим людям были чужды общепринятые ценности и правила. Позднее название перекинулось на людей культуры, которые, как цыгане, стремились жить беспечной жизнью. Имея вольное отношение к деньгам, богема одевалась соответственно. Сегодня этот стиль сочетает элементы самых разнообразных культур: и хиппи, и цыганский стиль, и винтаж, и этнические мотивы. Существует несколько разновидностей стиля бохо, каждый из которых имеет свои характерные черты и особенности. Бохо-классик: много бархата, вельвета, рустикальных видов шерсть, разнообразное кружево, ручной трикотаж от невесомого до нарочито грубого, жаккарды и мохер. Бохо-гламур: многослойные шифоны, гипюр, цветы, банты, меха. Изысканность, томность и утонченность... Посредством этого направления, стиль boho-chic плавно сливается с shabby-chic, образуя нежные и романтические образы. Бохо-эко: все натуральное, перья, камни, винтаж, множество деталей. Изысканность и экологичность. Бохо-хиппи: ни против чего не протестующие и яркие. Обилие ярких вязанных деталей, бахромы, использование мешковины и овчины. Бохо - это стиль, который дает отличный повод для самых смелых экспериментов, но и здесь нужно знать меру и чувствовать, когда нужно остановиться. источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник источник Где искать интересные материалы для бохо? На антресоли, где хранятся мамины и бабушкины вещички, могут отыскаться самые настоящие сокровища. В магазинах секонд-хэнд можно откопать нечто винтажное. На блошиных рынках можно найти старинные кружева и тесьму, декоративные пуговицы, винтажные украшения, а на выставках ручной работы - изделия, выполненные с безупречным качеством, вкусом и любовью.

Hello everyone Very excited about this new Kaisercraft paper range "Now Boarding". Simply perfect for all those overseas holiday photos! My layout today is View from the Top, a couple of photos taken at the top of the Eiffel Tower, when we were in Paris last year - simply breathtaking views. I have used the fabulous 2Crafty Eiffel Tower piece to show where our view is from. With this I have simply inked in charcoal so it compliments the patterned paper and the whiteness that is Paris. Lots of great ephemera in the collectibles pack as usual and I have combined these with another travel range, Basic Greys Carte Postale embellishments, finishing off with a Flutterby Designs Flair of a map of Paris. I also did a little bit of extra stamping which you can see blending in with the pattern on the background, above the suitcases, and under the Eiffel Tower. Such a fabulous range, I hope I've inspired you to scrap some of your travel pages.

2Crafty chipboard. below is my rustic layout showcasing the divine chippies . JOURNEY – Destination Unknown My beautiful and talented friend Linda Eggleton very kindly gave me permission to use this magnificent photo she took of an old Rustic Railway line. Thanks so much Linda , lucky, lucky me . I knew immediately which chippies I would use and I feel this Kaiser Base Coat Collection is a perfect marriage with Linda's divine pic. I decided to go with the Rustic feel throughout the layout , using ink and texture paste to grunge/rust up my metal elements and chipboard. The chipboard I love to cut the chipboard into sections. This achieves two things : the chipboard goes further and also makes it unique to you/ the artist . Cut The Corner Elegant set into 4 pieces Securing it around the edge of the matted photo, layering in clusters with other elements. Ink with Tim Holtz rusty Hinge distress ink, applied with a sponge When dry add random soft dabs of black to create an aged look and feel . The fencing wire panel is treated with the same technique . The metal Key and Filigree Brush with texture paste . Allow to dry Dab on Rusty Hinge ink with a sponge Add tiny dabs of black versa color ink to the edges. Layer these elements creating dimension and texture. When the layout was complete I brushed the chipboard and metal elements with two very thin coats of satin clear finish /JoSonya . 2Crafty items used Fencing Wire Panel (units of 3) [m00401] Corner Elegant Set (unit of 3) [cr0039] Thanks for popping by and I hope I have inspired you to have a play with these divine pieces of chipboard .

Hello everyone I am super excited to share my Guest DT layout and card for Kraft Plus this month. I am literally bursting of excitement to have this opportunity. Thank you Sandra, for having us. I absolutely love this blog and I am and honored to be featured here. A big thank you to Vicki, from Scrap Matrix, who has invited me to join her as guest designer for Scrap Matrix this month. If you like the embellishments I used, please visit Scrap Matirx at http://scrapmatrix.com for more details. This month's challenge is a kraft board full of gorgeous images and inspiration, so please pop over and be inspired by the work of the Design Team or join the Facebook site for regular updates on the amazing work all the design team members and group members enter each month. Just follow the blog link or type the following address into your browser: http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au. This challenge site is open for all kinds of crafters, cardmakers, scrappers, off the page artists or art journal junkies, so whatever your passion, join in. I was inspired by the autumn colours, beads and flowers. At first I was not quite sure what layout I would do, so I started with a card. From there everything just flowed and fell into place. It was quite interesting because I'm more a scrapper than a cardmaker, but love both worlds all the same. Both my card and single layout was created on a kraft base, using alcohol inks, metal embellishments, german Scrap, stamps and filigree or metal embellishments. So here are my creations: Product List: Kraft Paper; Black Cardstock; Alcohol Inks–Ranger; Chipboard– Scrap Matrix; German Scrap– Scrap Matrix; Filigree and metal embellishments –Scrap Matrix, Prima; Stamps –Heidi Swapp, Stampers Anonymous– Tim Holtz; Flowers – Scrap Matrix; Pins– Scrap Matrix; Flowers– Scrap Matrix, Petaloo; black cotton, plastic sheets. Thank you so much for stopping by. Regards Anguree xoxo

Hi everyone Back with my last pages for this month and today I have a layout to share using the new Kaisercraft Chase Rainbows from their April release. If you love super bright fun papers then this collection is for you! I'm a big fan of brights and love these papers. There are a few ready made background papers in this collection too, so all the work is done for some quick layouts. Dream Big: I enjoy getting messy so have created my own background here with some Dylusions and water and some blue sploshes using watered down gelato. Then I've added some stamping in navy and green to compliment my bright orange background. Lots of paper layering, and I've also used some of the collectibles pack to add some more layers. Some close-ups: Layers, stamping and fabulous 2Crafty title Dream Big. And love these quotes on the latest sticker sheets: The collectibles are always great for a few wise words too: I've also got one last Disney inspired page to share. This one is using the Say Cheese II collection, just can not get enough of it. Meeting Pluto Another character meeting, Pluto this time, just with Lily as we'd just visited Goofy and were off to go on some rides, so Zane wasn't interested. These papers were perfect colours of course and I love the touches of gold, so couldn't go past using them. Embellishments from the Say Cheese Collection and some glittery stars from Studio Calico that added a nice touch. The stickers are from the original Say Cheese collection, anything from the previous range will go perfectly with version II. I've used some lush, red velvet Thickers for my title. Thanks for stopping by and I hope I've inspired you this month to scrap some Theme Park layouts and check out the new Kaisercraft collections. Back again next week for a new month and new goodies!! Fiona x
