Fancy Pants & Kaisercraft

Hi there, seem to have found some motivation lately to complete a couple of projects.

The first is a canvas I have made for my Mum using Kaisercraft's Sweet Nothings.

The next projects are using Fancy Pants Off To School (feeling in the Back To School mood!).  I have used the papers, chipboard and die cuts.  I have also used a couple of new tools - Sew Ribbon (for threading ribbons on your projects in different designs) and a Fiskars Squeeze Punch by Jenni Bowlin for punching out banner shapes.

TFL!

'Scuse The Cobwebs . . .

My best laid plans to do some scrapping over the Christmas/New Year break were pure fantasy!  Hope you had a wonderful Christmas break and a happy start to 2012!

I have managed to squeeze in some scrappy time in the past few days which is the 1st time in a month!

The 1st layout is for our Sketch Competition over at HBS.  The sketch was created by Michelle Fowler.

I have used Webster's All About Me papers and embellies, plus I have done some stitching using my Burst Sew Easy head and the gem flourish is one from Zva.

I spotted a sketch by Wendy Smith earlier in the month and I was really inspired by it so I have based the below on her sketch - thanks for the inspiration Wendy!  I have used Kaiser Sweet Nothings papers from the paper pad and a special treat of lots of Prima blooms and the Shabby Chic Resin Bridge.  The pic is of one of my 'other' children - Bonnie - our littlest Jack Russell.  She loves to play amongst the plants in the garden and on this day she was pouncing around my petunias so I snapped the moment.  The journaling tag is a Pink Paislee Mistable which I have had the packet for ages & didn't really know 'how' to use them.  So I have spritzed with some Olive Glimmer Mist then a rub on on top!

Well off to the beach tonight with the kids for some fish & chips since it is so hot today.  May need a spot of SSB to keep me cool!  Thanks for visiting and hope you are surviving the school holidays!

Kaisercraft - On The Move & Sweet Nothings

Hi friends.

Have been busy creating with the new releases from Kaisercraft.  I adore both the new ranges.
First is Sweet Nothings. Such a pretty, soft paper range and of course the new Collectables which are packets of die cuts.  So easy to bring a layout together.  I am definitely a scrapper who likes to create with a coordinating range so these are perfect!  I have also used a little Prima Metal Treasures Bird Cage.  I have brushed over it with a little ink to take away some of the stark whiteness.  The paper blooms are also Kaiser and the satin ruffled trim is Websters.

This is a layout I have done of my Mum.  She is a lady who doesn't really rate herself very highly so I wanted to remind her of just how gorgeous she is to me and my sons.

The next project is using the new On The Move range.  A brilliant vintage boy/male range without being too babyish which I adore.  I have made a couple of paper rosettes with my Tim Holtz die and the embellies are from the Collectables pack and the sticker sheet.  Have also included some black rubons from the Boys set and some zig zag stitching down the side using my WRMK Stitch Piercer.

I have scrapped this photo before but I loved it and thought it was just perfect for these papers!

Thanks for visiting and thanks for looking!

HBS Sketch, Christmas cards and just because!

Have had a bit of a quieter week this week and also had the chance to scrap with my pal Sharon on the weekend so have a few projects to share.

I have just finished off a few Christmas cards which I made using a sticker book which I had to have last year from The Girl's Paperie but hadn't even opened yet!

These cards I made using a sheet from the Cosmo Cricket Dear Mr Claus papers.  So easy with a sheet of the little Santa's ready to be cut up.

 I attempted the sketch in our Gallery this month too using Kaisercraft Madame Boutique papers and the new Colletions pack.  Gorgeous!  The crocheted flowers were Prima.

and here is the sketch.

Finally, this layout I loved doing.  I have wanted to play around with some Coredinations for ages and this muddy picture of my youngest was perfect for the black background.  I had also had bought some Prima Printery Tiles which I had been wanting to use so I have tucked one of those with a birdie on it in the centre of my embellie cluster.  The rest of the page used bits and pieces I had.  The fern frond was cut using a Cheery Lynn die.

That's it for today!  Thanks for visiting!

Sport Carnival

Here is another layout using Kaisercraft - Cock-a-doodle-doo! The range has a lot of great base background pages for child themed projects - not just farm themes! I love the little rainbows and primary colours which were perfect for these photos from my son's 1st sport carnival. TFL

Kaiser New Release Projects.

Here are a couple of projects I have completed using the 2 new ranges in store from Kaisercraft and more to follow.

The first is an anniversary card I have made for my in-laws using the Paper Pad from Madam Boutique and the little vintage button is Prima in the Printery release.  I love the teal and gold colours in their range, it really suits shabby/vintage styles.  The theme throughout the range is vintage/sewing.  The ephemera pack includes lots of die cut doilies, tape measures, scissors and seamstress themed shapes.

I have cut out a doily shape using one of my favourite Cheery Lynn Doily Dies – English Tea Party.  The corners are punched using the Vintage Floral Martha Stewart Punch and delicate yellow trim is Webster’s.

The second project is a layout using the new Cock-a-doodle-doo release.

Whilst the main theme of the range is farm there are lots of cloud & tree shapes which would suit all kinds of outdoor themes.  I have used the die cut Paddock and cut a circle out of Baa!.  I have used a combination of the Stickers and Collectables in my embellishment clusters plus some of the rubons on the top right and bottom right edges.  The Alphas are also from the collection and of course the cute Dimensional Chipboard cow.  I have addedGlossy Accents to the clouds and some rain drops.

Farm - Kaisercraft Hunt & Gather

A picture of my little lads sitting on the quad bike on my in-laws farm.  They are growing up so fast yet I still see them as babies!  TFL.

Still fiddling with scraps . . .

I have the Kaiser Hunt & Gather paper pad so I have made a little card using a layering style I saw whilst blog surfing last night.   The doily is the Cheery Lynn French Pastry die.  I have some gal pal coming over for a scrappy day tomorrow whilst hubby has taken the little lads away for a trip to the farm - Bliss! TFL

Miss Nelly Card

A little card I have made playing around with the Miss Nelly Paper Pad. I will admit to recently 'discovering' the wonders of paper pads. The patterns are scaled down for card making and small projects. I am especially a fan of the Kaiser pads because they come with die cut sheets at the back of borders and tags, plus they include a number of specialty papers which are not in the 12x12 range with glossy and foil accents.
Also on this card I have used a Melissa Francis resin embellishment and a Prima flower (this is a packet I pinched for myself and had yet to open because I was hoarding!) plus some Liquid Pearls in the fussy cut flower centres. TFL!

Fancy some Fancy Pants?

Here is a layout I have done using Fancy Pants Baby Mine. The colours in this range a perfect for both girls and boys. I have used a few products too. The wings are Kaisercraft and I have painted them with Gesso then spritzed them with Goosebumps to give them a glossy textured look. I have cut around the animals at the bottom of the page and to give them a bit of a lift I have painted them with some Glimmer Glaze which gives shimmer and dimension. The flowers are using the Sizzix Roses die and I have spritzed those with some Goosebumps too. The die cut tags and alphas are from the same Baby Mine range. Finally the stickers are from SRM. I have mounted 1 on acetate so I can give it some 3D - these are a great alternative to rubons as they have a clear background. TFL

Olivia Canvas

Hi there, I have just finished this canvas for my friend's daughter who turned 6 last week.  I painted Glimmer Mist on the edges of the canvas and the Kaisercraft wooden dress form.  The papers are My Mind's Eye Tickled Pink and the banners I cut out from the new Spellbinder's Pennants Die.  TFL!
