Everyone loves a little shine and sparkle as we found out with our Sparkle collection.
This month we released the First Noel collection, also featuring many gold foiled elements
which will enhance any card you make – like the one below that Cathy shares with us today.
Along with this collection she has featured the coordinating CLEAR STAMP set and
embossed a number of the images and layered them onto the front of the card.
How gorgeous are these cards that Cathy McGrath has created for us using two Dies that you need to have in your collection.
You can never have too many Doilie Dies and as you can see below they are so versatile, in this case being used on Christmas Cards.
Feast your eyes on these gorgeous cards and if they inspire you to make some yourself then you can

I love this collection for its quirky flowers and colour combination. The fun flowers make it easy to create and adding stamps and other elements make it a really versatile range.
And this layout with its simple design and fun elements and die-cuts was my favorite this year.

“XOXO” Layout Favourite Dt Projects
by Donna Espiritu
As I browse all the projects I created for Kaisercraft this term, this layout stands out the most to me. I love the colors, the layout design and most of all the photo of my daughter. I was able to capture both her innocence and personality in this particular photo, like “sugar and spice and everything nice” rolled into one.
Other: Black, Coral, White Mists | White Doily | White Thread
Romantique Layout Favourite DT Projects
by Alicia McNamara
This layout would have to be one of my most favourite Layouts that I have made this year. It was made using the Romantique collection, which I adore. I enjoy creating layouts following this design. I also enjoy mixing Templates, fussy cutting, flowers, Wooden Flourishes and Decorative Dies to create a textured layout.
If you head on over to this blog post here you can see more details about the products I used and the steps I took to create the Layout.

Fairy Garden Layout Favourite DT Projects
by Kavitha
“Fairy garden” collection is my most favorite this year for its pastel colors and beautiful images.I made this shabby chic layout with the gorgeous die cut papers from the collection
I chose this project because of the photo. It is of my uncle and my cousin’s twin boys. I love the emotions that you can see here and how much ‘poppy’ adores his grandsons. This paper collection enabled me to capture this special memory.

Finally, it is so important to say thank you. Thank you to the readers of this blog, our Kaisercraft Crafting Community. Without you we would have no audience to share our creations with, no one to discuss details with over in Kaisercraft Corner, no one to share tips and techniques with. For this and so much more we are grateful.
Beginning in the month of August you will see a fresh Design Team, and a new-look Blog. We are constantly striving to make the blog more useful to you. If you have suggestions on what you would like to see on the Kaisercraft Blog please feel free to leave a comment on this post.
We look forward to sharing a whole new year of Kaisercraft products, designs and creations with you.
Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great week. I have been playing with some art foam, and I came up with some different ways of creating flowers using one die.
These three flowers were created using only two petals. But by making one alteration, three different flowers were created.
The above flower uses the largest petal from the die, die cut three times. It was shaped by scrunching the tops and embellished by using stamens in the centre.
The final two flowers use the smaller petal from the die. Their construction is the same except for the shaping of the petals. Another variation of flower from DIY Flora Gerbera die.
Below is a video tutorial explaining how each of these flowers was made.
Once you have created these beautiful flowers, it’s always wonderful to incorporate them into your projects.
