What a beautiful range – I wanted to show off the beautiful flowers from the collection, I loved fussy cutting and layering them up, I like to use foam pads to give height.
My layout also features colour coordinating hand stitching.
my photo’s were arranged in the centre, I layered up three of the same photo for added detail.
To finish, I added butterflies, pearls and tiny butterflies from the collectable pack.
Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you a layout I’ve created using the stunning – Sunkissed collection – this range features tropical flowers & exotic wildlife, be inspired & capture your favourite memories.
Products Used: Sunkissed – P2901 Pina Colada|P2902 Coconut|P2908 Tutti Frutti
Other Products:Pink DMC thread, Punch Around the Page set.
I decided to focus on using all the gorgeous pink & red flowers from the collection – I wanted to show that even though the collection is tropical themed, you don’t necessarily need photo’s to match.
Pink is my favourite colour and these flowers are just gorgeous. My layout is based around the central heart design with the gorgeous fussy cut flowers arranged & layered up around my two photo’s.
I have also used the fabulous Paint Splatter background stamp to add extra interest – and framed the base of the layout and the centre heart with colour coordinating stitching and punched edges.
The coordinating stamp set is beautiful, I stamped and fussy cut some of, one of the pretty butterflies and arranged them around my layout.
To finish off my layout I added the die-cut word – Beautiful
I hope I have inspired you to use this beautiful collection……it can work with all sorts of photo’s, not just your holiday snaps. I look forward to seeing your creations over on Kaiser Corner.
Hi Everyone, today I am sharing with you a layout I’ve created using the stunning – Native Breeze collection this range features a bold & striking colour palette and beautiful life-like imagery of banksia, protea & gum leaves – which I have fussy cut and arranged around my photo.
Kaisercraft Products:CD342 Shadow Kaisercard|CD328 Magenta Kaisercard|KM125 Candy Kaisermist|KM129 Navy Kaisermist|
Other Products:Pink & Navy DMC thread
After fussy cutting loads of flowers & leaves from the Gum Leaves, flowering and Banksia Bouquet papers, I then made my base I also hand stitched in two coordinating colours and added my photo.
I then started to arrange all those beautiful fussy cut embellishments around my photo, in the bottom right hand corner.
…..and top left hand corner. To give height I added foam pads to some of the flowers, I also like to curl them, I think this adds extra interest and dimension
I love this photo of my daughter, she always had so much fun on her trampoline, we captured this lovely image of her in mid air. Even though this is an Australian themed collection, I think it can be used with all sorts of photo’s.
To finish off my layout I dotted about some fun words
I hope I have inspired you to use this beautiful collection……it works with all sorts of photo’s. I look forward to seeing your creations over on Kaiser Corner.
Hi Everyone, today on the blog I am sharing with you a layout I’ve created using the beautiful Lily & Moss Collection – the range features pretty pinks & greens and a variety of textures with an artistic feel.

Once all the base layers were cut to size and matted together I then start to fussy cut all the beautiful flowers and butterflies. If you don’t have enough from the papers, check out the sticker book & collectable packs – I stuck the stickers onto paper then fussy cut around them – I also cut the white edges from the collectables.
I also fussy cut the frames from the P2891 Circular paper, hand stitched around them and layered these onto the base papers
There are so many beautiful flowers in this collection and along with the Lily Decorative Die, I arranged these around my black and white photo.
To give some height to the flowers and embellishments I use foam pads
I love the P2888 Whirl paper, it looks great behind the frames and the stitching & black butterflies finish off the layout.
I hope I have inspired you to use this beautiful collection and look forward to seeing your creations over on Kaisercraft Corner – you can also purchase the Lily & Moss collection here

Hello – this group post is all about “Tiles” so today the Design Team will show you a few ways to use the P2883 Pink Plaster paper & P2884 Tiles paper in their projects.
The Pink Plaster paper with all those pretty tiles on it is so versatile, I decided to use it as my background and cut out the ones I wanted to use. I have also stitched in between the tiles and have added some bling to them – You can cut out specific tiles to suit your project, they would also look great as a centre section on a card.
I had lots of fun playing with the tiles in this collection. I have made a frame with the mosaic tiles from TILES, and with the decorative tiles from PINK PLASTER, that I have arranged in a grid. You can find the full instructions for this layout HERE.

OTHER: Doily and Refillable tea bag
Sometimes a pattern is too big, dont be afraid to cut it down into strips of varying sizes to add to your background. I have done a process video so you can follow along HERE, and if you want the downloadable PDF you can download HERE
I decided to use Tiles as my background paper and cut up Pink Plaster and used specific tiles to layer behind my photo. The heart shape was hand drawn on some white card stock as I just wanted some plain white highlight to soften the ‘busy’ background paper. I then layered several Collectables die cuts and arranged them around my photo using foam dots for dimension.
I hope we have inspired you to use these beautiful papers from the Lily and Moss collection, which you can find on the Kaisercraft website here

As this collection is about celebration and parties I wanted to create a fun, bright explosion of colour on my layout, my photo was taken at my daughters Birthday party, she was having so much fun, she didn’t see us snapping away, I love her expression!!!!
The coordinating stamp set is just so much fun, I’m not sure what you call them, but stamped and fussy cut the little flower type stamp on some of the Kaiser card, they made great centres to the Doily Die cut outs and I also added some around my layout to give little pops/explosions of colour.

Hi Everyone, Chrissy here with my first project for December using the gorgeous & exotic “Grand Bazaar” collection. I love the bright rich colours in this collection and the flowers on the “Boho Paisley” paper were just perfect for fussy cutting.

Other Products Used:SB793 Black Pearls|CD324 Crimson Kaisercard|Red Thread for sewing
I used the Crimson Kaisercard for my base, I love adding coordinating card stock as a frame for my layouts. On top of this I matted the reverse side of the “Folklore” paper and added bright red hand stitching. On top of this I matted the mustard side of the “Ceramic Tiles” paper (with more stitching) I fussy cut all the tiles from another piece of the “Ceramic Tiles” paper.
I picked out the tiles from the paper with mainly the dark blues & reds on them. The Wooden flourishes make great titles, I coloured the “Thankful for you” Flourish using black and yellow ink pads.
I fussy cut the flowers from the “Boho Paisley” paper and arranged them around my photo, I love the detail on these flowers
This layout has lots of height, I love using foam pads to some of the fussy cut flowers to achieve this. I also like to curl and shape them.
I loved using this beautiful collection and hope i have inspired you to have a play – and look forward to seeing your creations using it over on Kaiser Corner.

The Collectables pack was perfect for adding all those pop-up bits & pieces, you can really go to town on it.

I love the feminine feel and delicate florals in this this beautiful collection and the combination of dainty pinks and green – and isn’t the “Rose” paper just gorgeous, perfect for fussy cutting. I had a photo in mind for my layout, my daughter & I attended a Peaky Blinders festival, I am so proud of her as she completely re-designed an over sized vintage mens outfit to fit herself.

I started to assemble the base of my layout using Elsie & Jessica papers and Tutu Kaisercard.
I love stitching on my layouts and projects, so after punching along two edges of the Jessica and Tutu Kaisercard I then stitched along the punched edges.
The coordinating stamp set is just so beautiful, I love the lace borders so stamped, fussy cut and stitched along the edges then added these to the layout.
How relaxing is fussy cutting, I couldn’t resist fussy cutting all those beautiful flowers from the two Rose papers.
I arranged all the beautiful fussy cut Roses around my photo, in the top right hand corner.
……….and bottom left hand corner.
I used foam pads to give some height and dimension
……and stamped and fussy cut the pretty little butterflies from the coordinating stamp set to add extra interest

Hi Everyone, Chrissy here with another Technique Tuesday. Today I will be sharing with you the art of “Fussy Cutting” – also what fussy cutting means, what you can fussy cut and my preferred tools to use to fussy cut with.
When I first started Scrapbooking I hadn’t even heard of the term “fussy cutting” however I soon discovered I loved the idea of cutting out beautiful flowers and images from the gorgeous papers and it was a friend who then said to me – “you love your fussy cutting don’t you” and that is how I found out what it meant and my projects over the years have featured more & more fussy cutting. So Fussy Cutting is: Cutting out specific images from your paper.
Here are a few images cut from the gorgeous Uncharted Waters papers.
I think the term “Fussy Cutting” originated from cutting material, this is what I found on Google: “A fussy cut is a piece of fabric that’s been cut to target a specific area of a print, rather than cutting the yardage into random pieces”.
I am really drawn to beautiful floral papers, I love fussy cutting all the flowers then arranging them into clusters on my layouts – however, you don’t need pretty floral papers to be able to fussy cut, even with this beautiful “Uncharted Waters” collection there are many, many things to fussy cut. The shells and other sea themed images.
………even the ropes, (which then look 3D) anchors and shells from the “Sea Shore” paper. The corner netting image from the Hook paper which I have cut out twice, the second one slightly smaller and then layered it up on top of the first one to give some height and dimension (see image below)
….and for some extreme fussy cutting, how about this netting (below) from the “Streak” paper which I have then added to the bottom of my layout.
so yes, you can fussy cut anything!!! why not give it a go!!
There is not a set tool or scissors that you Should use to fussy cut, you can use what ever you feel comfortable using, I found very early on into my fussy cutting that I loved using one specific pair of small curved nail scissors which I still use today. (the ones on the right in below image) I do have about three other slightly different pairs of small scissors but these are just in case I loose my favourite pair as they have now been discontinued
Once all the fussy cutting has been done you can put your layout together. Another reason I love fussy cutting is that I find it very relaxing – and gives your projects that little extra lovely touch.
……..and you can use foam pads to give some height and dimension to your fussy cut elements
