Sears and Son Cards

Today I'm here to share some simple Sears & Son cards ... with Fathers day just around the corner Kaisercraft have done a great job bringing us a collection thats both earthy and classic but also really easy to work with. I didn't have a lot time on my hands when I made these cards but all it took was one piece of double sided paper, the matching sticker sheet and a few buttons...

Thus proving that card making can be easy, affordable AND FUN!

Some other good ideas for elements in this sticker sheet is to use the ties as banners and the moustaches cut in half as birds. 

I hope you are all busy out there knocking up some cards for the special men in your lives for this Fathers Day... good luck with it all.

Cheers from Kel.

Class with Melissa Kennedy...

While I was down in Melbourne last month I had the privilege of doing a class with the fabulous Melissa Kennedy from Kaisercraft and this is the layout we created with the Sears & Son Collection.

I came home with most of it finished and then added a few bits and pieces as I tend to do ... like the acetate clocks - they were a add in after the fact!

This new mens range is really earthy and gentle, it's great to play with and will suit and kind of vintage or heritage themes a person might want to work with.

On a personal note ... I can fully vouch that the handsome man in these photos really is the greatest dad ever!! LOL

Have a great day.

Sat. Sketch #2 Aug 2012

What an excellent sketch Kaisercraft put this week! Here I have used the Sears and Son collection to follow this sketch:

Sears and Son is a strong male collection, but I just couldn't resist the challenge to do a layout with a girly feel using these earthy papers... the birds you can see are made from the moustaches found in the die cut pack and the banners are actually ties from the sticker sheet!

Have a great day...

More Save the Date Cards

Just a few more cards using the Save the Date collection from Kaisercraft ... I'm loving the gender neutral  nature of this collection. You could give these cards to either a boy or a girl and I find layouts are the same also. I really like that quality in a paper collection - versatility!

Have a great day.... smiles from Kel.

Sat. Sketch #1 Aug 2012

What an awesome sketch to kick August off with ... I've used more of the 'Save the Date' collection for this challenge and am having a ball digging out all the kids old birthday photos to use with this fun range. 

I've mostly stuck with the die cuts from the collectables pack and some of the cute little epoxy stickers as well. I'm really loving the way this collection will bend itself to either girl or boy pages ... I like that kind of flexibility in my papers!

Anyway, here is the sketch that this layout is based on...

Save The Date Cards...

Just a couple of Happy Birthday cards today using the Save the Date collection ... of course this collection just SCREAMS Birthday Cards!! LOL

Here I've used some of the papers and elements out of the collectables pack and a few rhinestones for bling ... nice, easy and effective!

Thanks for dropping by for a look...

Smiles from Kel.

 

Save the Date Layout

I'm really excited today to introduce the Save the Date collection from Kaisercraft .... this is an AWESOME bunch of papers and matching embellishments... and probably Kaisercraft's biggest collection yet! 

So as the name suggests this one is all about the PARTY .... birthday, celebration, wedding, anything you like really ( although it would have to be a pretty funky wedding if  you using these invites and coordinates LOL).

 Being the proud owner of 6 gorgeous kiddies I must tell you I have more birthday photos hanging about the place than you can poke a stick at ! 

And I'm no scrapbook snob ... 

I'm not waiting until I find the perfect colour to match the shirt in my birthday photos ... NO WAY!

It's quite an easy formula these days for me...

Birthday Photos + Party Papers = Easy, Hassle Free Layouts!! LOL

So yeah, as you can imagine I'm quite chuffed at the new collection ... I can't thank Kaisercraft enough for making my job that much easier! [smiles and rolls eyes!!]

Have a great day ... smiles from Kel.
