Hello! Lisa here, and today I have a couple of creations made using Kaisercraft's Boho Dreams Collection to share with you. This is probably my favourite range from the past few months-- kind of hippy, kind of funky-- I love it. :)

First up is a layout using an older picture of my daughter which I thought fitted perfectly with the feel of the papers: she was dressed in faded blue denim, with a woven 70s-style headband and long, loose hair.


I used a sheet of plain white cardstock as my base, and then added some of the Wild paper. I made use of both sides-- the floral pattern and the polka dots on the reverse as well, adding my photo to the centre to cover up the join. The phrase on the right is from the sticker sheet (I cut it up to fill the space better), and the clusters of feathers are fussy-cut from the Feathers sheet of paper. Some washi tape, a banner tag from the Collectables, and some touches of metal in the form of filagree trinkets from the Artfull Embellies finish the page off.

A closer look is below:


My second project using this range was a canvas. It's a different shape to what I usually work with: long and narrow, and I wanted it to be simple and striking. I started off by using 3D Gloss Gel to stencil a background design (using a Tim Holtz stencil.) The blue colour was a happy mistake-- the stencil had some traces of blue mica spray still on it from a previous use, and it transferred to the clear gloss gel and dried that lovely aquatic shade. I bet I couldn't recreate it again even if I tried!


Once the background had dried, I then added a selection of Collectables, rearranging them until I was happy with the composition before finally gluing them into place.


I added three little wooden beads to the edge of the "shine" collectable, and a variety of sizes of bling gems scattered over the rest of the canvas.

Hi everyone. It has been awhile since I blogged. I have been creating lots but have been procrastinating about posting them. No more excuses. I made a page layout and a mini album in the form of a double tri-shutter card using this beautiful collection from Kaisercraft, Always and Forever.
 I used the same magical to colour the varnish paper and fussy cut out the doilies.

On our last trip to Aussie my boys had the honour of being promoted to Cabin Crew. They were suited up, badge in place and handed out sweets to other passengers. It was the cutest thing. I haven't printed the photos I took yet (it's on my to do list), but have got this little mini album all ready for them.

I am running very low on chipboard, so the pages were made using 3 plain white 4x6 greetings cards. I glued the cards closed, punched holes in the sides and held them together with book rings. If I was to make this style of album again, I would leave the tops of the pages unsealed. I could've had some rather fun pockets for extra photos. Oh well. I can always punch holes in photos and add them onto the rings as extra pages.


I added pockets to the 2 middle pages to hold photo mats and tags.

As always, the Just Landed collection comes with a set of collectables. I've always been a fan of Kaisercraft collectables. Just add a few die cut pieces to your project and your good to go.


You could totally customise this mini to add some blank sheets of paper for a fabulous travel diary. The beauty of using the book rings for binding is you can easily add pages, postcards, maps, tickets etc as you travel.

Thanks for stopping by.

In March 2014, we took a road trip up the North Island towards the Bay of Islands. We took a scenic drive along the coast taking pictures as we drove - what a wonderful trip.  Sadly I didn't write down the places we took photos - but I think this was Opua on the way to the Bay of Islands. The Kaisercraft Just Landed is a lovely range for travel photos:


The photos have been mounted on black and light blue card stock and the edges have been distressed. I used the papers Big City, Subway, Postmarks specialty paper from the range - and layered these behind the photos. I tore the specialty paper and rubbed on blue ink - the embossed specialty paper is perfect for this. Added the Collectables and embellishments to finish off the layout. I have rubbed some blue chalk around the edges of the layout for definition.

Hi there,  Christine here today, I have some cards to share using Kaisercraft's Boho Dreams Collection...

 I started with this card, love this feather paper and decided to use it as the background on kraft card to showcase this birdhouse stamp. I used my copics to colour in the birdhouses. I used some of the kraft coloured collectables to embellish.

 For this card I carried on the theme of birdhouses and used my dies to cut 3 out, to put in a row on this fence paper.

Hi, Debi here, it's been a while but I'm back today with some quick cards I put together using the new Kaisercraft Boho Dreams collection. I love this collection, I know I think I might say that about every new release- but I really do like this one, its a little different a little quirky and pretty.

These cards were quick and super easy to make, i just used cardstock, patterned paper and the die cuts- a bit of ribbon and we are sorted. Got to love the Kaisercraft die cuts for making card super easy.
That's all from me today, see you next time.

Betsy on deck this morning to share some cards made with the stunning Mademoiselle Collection from Kaisercraft. Again, they have exceeded all expectations with this new range. I love the colours and the vintage feel.




Lately, I have been playing with some stunning new dies - Liz is in the process of securing this new product and will be having them at SENZ. I am really in my happy space when using these!! Sorry I am unable to give you the number of this die, as I left it in with Liz last week. It is a Sue Wilson die and it can be used two different ways. Lovely! The flowers are from Prima.





This is a super one! In the pack are seven dies, so there is certainly a number of various ways of using it. CED8101, Australian Collection, Background, again making a simple card but so effective I think you will agree. I have again used Mademoiselle Collection for the background paper under the die.






My third card today, using another Sue Wilson Die and the same collection as previously. CED6302, Configurations- Lattice Arched Adornment. There are certainly many ways of using this die, this is just one. The collection and the dies go so well together in my opinion!

Not long now until we are on our way North, so looking for ward to catching up with you all at SENZ. Thanks so much for stopping by, happy crafting and many blessings to all, until next time.

Hi there Christine here today with some cards I have made using Kaisercraft's Mermaid Tales paper pad....

I recently added to my stash of Copic markers so was keen to put them to good use. I thought this Artfull Inkling -Miranda Mermaid, would be good coloured up to co-ordinate with the Mermaid Tales paper. I then layered her up on the paper and used the bits and pieces found at the back of the paper pad to embellish, as well as some twine and bling rhinestones!


I had to colour her again to put on this card!


For this card I coloured in the Artfull Inklings - Sailing Boat, to go on my card. I love the wave like paper and the fishes one! I used some more labels from the back of the pad to embellish and this time used some enamel dots rather than the blingy rhinestones! It means it could be used for a male recipient - I never have enough cards for  males!

Happy Creatimg!

Hi everyone. Michelle Reeves was the lucky winner of our blog competition recently and she had a parcel delivered and the opportunity to create projects! She's certainly been busy!

Hi everyone. Vonni here with another Design Team project.

Kaisercraft have some fun collections out at the moment and I have been lucky enough to have a play with them. Today, I am sharing a mini album that I created using Mermaid Tails.


The album is an accordion mini and measures 3" x 4". I have used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the album cover and gusseted pages. I'm not a huge fan of measuring and scoring. There are of course instructions on various websites if you would like to make it yourself without a cutting machine.
