My second page I used blue cardstock and mixed Lindy's Stamp Gang "Wake me up before you go gold" spray (don't you just love the colour names) with texture paste to create chevron look. I also sprayed the same colour and "Delphinium Turquoise' over the page. Randomly stamping as well.
Using an old credit card and primer I placed random lines over the page vertically and horizontally. I used strips of Story Book paper on the edge of the photos to try create a background for the photos. Then embellished with butterfly's, tickets, clocks etc.
 For my last page I wanted to create a book look for an article about my Poppa.  There was a bit of fiddling around to get the article to the right size. I used Distress Ink to help make the photocopied article look old.
 Again using clocks, buttons and die cuts from the Story Book collection to embellish.

Hi there - Christine here today with a couple of cards using Kaisercraft's # Me Collection....


We made these cards at Card class last week, both cards were dry embossed on their patterned paper before we layered up the flower clusters.
We made the flowers from the Cheery Lynn Gardenia flower die.


 Thanks to all of you that came along!

Happy Creating!

Hello all - Betsy here today to share some cards made with Kaisercraft's Old Mac Collection. It certainly has a farmyard fell - made me almost feel homesick, having been a farmer's wife for thirty years.




A very self explanatory 5 1/4" square card. I have distressed the edges, added twine, the chipboard fence and used the collectables in the packet. The image was retrieved of Pinterest.





The same size as the previous card and I have added some chipboard images which I picked up in Australia. The birdhouse and flower are actually buttons which I had in my stash.







I made a lever card for this one, a tutorial can be found on Splitcoaststampers, in their resource area. I have mostly used the collectables and again the picture was from Pinterest. What would we do without that site or I should say, what would I do with out that site!!

Do keep a check on here, as the SENZ classes are to be advertised shortly and at the moment we are busy preparing for them. All fun, I can assure you! Liz and Graham are away North just now but the girls are still busy attending to all things at the shop. Don't hesitate to call them for the excellent service they are renowned for.

Happy crafting and many blessings,

Betsy.

I love this Story Book Collection from Kaisercraft. The sentiments written on their stickers, Collectables and cut outs on their pages are perfect for creating lovely projects - all about memories and moments .....  one of them reads "the BEST things in life are the people we love the places we've been .... and the memories we made along the way" - how lovely is that? When I saw the book cover off the speciality paper aptly named book covers (foil)... I decided to create an album using this cover:
 The inside of the pages has been decorated using the various papers from the Story Book range, as well the sticker sheet and the Collectables. Both the tags in these pages are free and can be taken out to add photos to them. The little envelope on the left picture and the clock feature on the right picture have only been taped in the corners so that a photo can be tucked in behind these.



I have ony adhered tape down the sides of the circle sticker and added talcum powder to the sticky part of the sticker so that it does not stick - a photo can then be added underneath to be matted onto the blue. I then created a flap on the right hand side that can be lifted up to add photos underneath.









 Again some more feature flaps and tags ........

A beautiful bright and fresh range - Kaisercraft Finders Keepers - I decided to do something a little different than my normal style and this is the result:


I cut a frame from chipboard and wrapped the Collectors piece of paper around this - this gave the photos great definition, mounted to the Floral Ticket specialty paper (I actually turned this once anti-clockwise). Using the Collectables and a piece cut from the left over of the Collectors paper,  layered these behind the photo and around it. I fussy cut the flowers from the Curio paper and added some flowers on top of this.

Hi. Vonni here today with a box I made using the Story Book collection by Kaisercraft. Some call it a hidden compartment box, but I'm calling this my 'Book Box'.

Hi there - Christine here today with a set of Birdhouse cards using Kaisercraft's True Love Collection.... 





I love Birdhouses, so got out my Poppystamps Carolina Birdhouse die and got to cutting. Used a bronze card for the house and some of the shiny paper pad pieces for the roof and bases.
On 2 of the cards I have used the Kaisercraft Circle Vines die - a new favourite of mine! I like to make a cluster of flowers on to the leaf part and I especially love these small I Am flowers . Liz has them in a variety of colours. After snipping off the wire stem I wind it around a toothpick and then poke it into the cluster. I have also used the wire to wind up the birdhouse pole.

Some of my family's best weekends have been spent on our friends farm. The fresh air. The wide open spaces.

Kaisercraft Old Mac was the perfect collection to use for the 2 layouts I am going to share with you today.

Betsy here this morning to share a little something, which I have moved out of my comfort zone to produce. It does one good to do that sometimes and I must admit I enjoyed the challenge that Liz set. When at SENZ last year, I bought this chipboard kit from Jo, at Imagineif and I put it together using, yes, my all time favourite collection from Kaisercraft, Betsy's Couture. The instructions were very easily followed, even for me being a visual person! Of course, Liz has put together completely different papers etc, hence the resulting box is quite different. Love to know your thoughts ladies.

The photo showing the book opened.

This is a photo of the original one I made some time back, just to to let you see the way things can look so different using other collections.




Remember to keep checking on the Artfull Crafts blog, also view what the Design Team are up to. There are some lovely things being produced by some very talented ladies.

All today, until next time happy crafting and many blessings,

Betsy.

Hi there
Here is my layout using the Kaisercraft Coastal Escape Collection range ....

Hi everyone, Debi here; today I'm sharing with you a tag card book that I created for a colleague leaving work. These tag books are pretty simple to make, and easily can be adapted for lots of different uses.

Front cover

I've used the absolutely gorgeous and pretty unique Graphic 45 Voyage Beyond the Sea Papers. I just love this collection, vibrant in colour and details. 

Front cover

I also decorated the back inside cover with a few details, all the details have been added with chipboard and then painted and sprayed to blend in.

Inside Back Cover

Then onto the inside, I've decorated each tag, by sponging with Distress inks, various stencils and sparkly watercolour details to really make them pop. I used various sentiment stamps from my collection to complete the look.
