Magnolia Grove Cards

Here are some cards made from the lovely new 'Magnolia Grove' paper collection... they were so simple to make by just using different back grounds from the paper pad and this wonder bit of paper...

As you can see all I had to do was cut up the 12x12 sheet to get 12 perfect little fronts to my cards ... a few bits and bobs (such as ribbon, flowers and bling) and the cards practically made themselves!! LOL

I love the 6 1/2" square paper pads, they just make cards soooo easy to pull together... and then there are the classic little finishing touches like the Martha Stuart Butterfly Punch ... when I die from too much scrapbooking I want that punch placed in the coffin beside me ... as I simple cannot part with it ...ever!

Fine & Sunny Cards

So I'm kicking of my introductions of the new 'Fine & Sunny' collection from Kaisercraft with a card collection. These papers are so bright and fun to play with ... I had no trouble at all nocking up a dozen cards in a few short hours ... it makes ALL the difference to play time when you are REALLY enjoying your toys!! LOL 

I've also done stitching on all these cards this time, I think I'm in love with the effect on everything. The cards are pretty simple besides that, just paper from the paper pad and dies from the coordinating collectables pack, dd to that a couple of ribbons and some liquid pearls and there you have it...

Have a great day folks.

Charoltte's Dream Lay Out

My first Layout made using the beautiful new 'Charlotte's Dream' Collection from Kaisercraft ... how etherel these papers are ... very 'dreamy' indeed. The browns and pinks are perfect for heritage photos, but I was thrilled to see how well my baby photos also looked with this range ... perfect for my dainty little Abby! The collection very much was made to focus on Mothers Day with lots of die-cut words like 'mother', 'love' and 'forever' ... but it was very easy to cut off just enough to turn the word 'Mother' into 'her'! LOL

This collection reminds me a lot of the 'Sweet Nothings' paper range, which also has these divine subtle shades and patterns buried deep in their designs, the two collections will marry together perfectly I image ... that might need to be my next 'challenge'!!?

cheers from Kel.

Technologic Robot Cards

The new 'Technoloic' paper collection from Kaisercraft is just full of these gorgeous little robots ... it wasn't hard at all to sit down and make a dozen cards using these ... and what a relief to finally have a collection that makes creating cards for males easy!! LOL

These Days Cards

Just a few cards made using the 'These Days' collection ... I'm still loving the pearl pens as you can see!! I had challenged myself to make some more 'male' cards, but Alas this pretty range was just too tempting for me and I only ended up making one!! I'll try harder with the next range LOL.

This card looks soooo much better in real life ... it's a shame blogger hasn't gone 3D yet!!

These Days & Wood Flourishes

Another layout using the 'These Days' collection from Kaisercraft ... Oh how I'm loving these papers ... actually this page is mostly covered by stickers from the collection.... and of course there are some of those GORGEOUS wood flourishes that Kaisercraft are so famous for. The frame around the photo is from the Acetate Frames also by Kaiser. The circle around the photo was something I stamped free hand .... that will teach me!! It's all lopsided now ... it's back to the old rules from me folks ..."Measure twice, cut once" !!!! Patience truly is a virtue : )  LOL The title was cut on a Cricut and the swirls around the outside were just done free hand. I'm having a bit of fun playing with acetate at the moment too, If you haven't had a go at this medium yet let me encourage you to give it a hit!!

Thanks so much for visiting ... I REALLY appreciate it : )

Hummingbird LO

The Hummingbird paper collection from Kaisercraft is a difficult one to work with for me ... the colours are so bold and strong that found I really had to soften it as I went to get some balance in my layouts... but in the end I was really happy with how this page in particular came together ... it wasn't anything too difficult, but it is delishiously tactile which I adore!! The added paper booms give the page real height and the wood flourish bird cage reflects this beautifully. I'll pop this layout in a shadow box to go in my house somewhere as even I can't fit a page this lumpy and bumpy in my albums!! LOL

Hummingbird Cards

Some cards made using the 'Hummingbird' paper collection. This is a very bright and beautiful collection, although it does have it's subtle moments, and it can certainly boast a lot of versatility. The wonderful collectable die cuts from this range also make embellishing any thing from cards to pages a breeze!
