Fallen Leaves – Treasure the day

Hi everyone, It’s Chrissy here with you today sharing my latest layout using the gorgeous “Fallen Leaves” Kaisercraft collection – this range features beautiful patterns & leaves in a rich, earthy colour palette of golds, greens and browns.

I started by using the dark green side of one of the Cosy Corner papers as my base, just to give that green edge to my layout. I then layered on the morning Dew paper and then at an angle another Cosy Corner paper.

I stitched a border around the second shaped dark green paper, then layered this on top.

I fussy cut lots of the leaves from the other papers & paper pad, I also used the leaf in the stamp set, stamped over the big gold leaves then fussy cut them out

I then layered up all the leaves, some in the bottom lefthand corner of my photo

………and layered them in the top right hand corner of my photo

I like to build up my clusters, i use foam pads to do this, which then gives it height and dimension

I love building up height and dimension on my layouts – shape your clusters and use foam pads to get this look.

Thank you for stopping by, you can find this beautiful collection over on the Kaisercraft website https://www.kaisercraft.com.au/

Happy Scrapping!!!! Chrissy Tingey

Dream Big – Little Treasures

Hi Everyone, it is nice to be back with a post and inspiration using this gorgeous collection – “Little Treasures” which features balloons and bunnies in wonderful pastel colours, just perfect for your precious baby photo’s.

Products Used: P2930 x 2 Sweet Dreams|P2933 x 1 Baby Steps|P2932 x 2 Cuddles|CT982 Little Treasures Collectables|CD301 Snow Kaiser Card

Other Products Used: Coordinating cotton|Gold Rhinestones

These are such beautiful papers to work with, I love layering up my base for my layout and add some colour coordinating stitching.

I layered my photo of Merley onto a centre circle of snow Kaiser Card and made a frill around the edge.

These papers were great for fussy cutting, I had so much fun and it is very relaxing, I did have to use more than one of the same paper, but think it was worth it.

I also like to layer up the fussy cut elements to give height.

I use foam pads in between all the layers – to finish I added a little gold bling to the centres of the flowers.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you have been inspired by my layout. you can find the Instructions here.

I look forward to seeing your creations using this beautiful collection over on the Kaisercraft Corner Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/kaisercraftcorner/

Sunkissed – So beautiful

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

Kaisercraft Products: CD301 Snow Kaisercard|CS379 Sunkissed Stamp set|CS372 Paint Splatter Background Stamp|SB793 Black Pearls|

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.

Trampoline fun!!

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

Lily & Moss – Live in the Moment

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.

Other: Green DMC thread

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

You can download my instructions here for the layout

Happy crafting – see you soon

Lily & Moss Tiles – Group Post

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.

Papers: Lily & Moss Collection: P2883 Pink Plaster|P2885 Ombre|P2886 Flicker|P2887 Flora

Kaisercraft Products: SK823 Sticker Book|CT977 Collectables|SB701 Soft Pink Rhinestones|DD3352 Lily Decorative Die

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.

Kaisercraft Products: CT977 Collectables | white Cardstock

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

Challenge #14 – Stitching

Hi Everyone, welcome to Challenge Corner No: #14 – Stitching!!! I don’t know if you have noticed but I love stitching on my projects, especially my layouts, you can colour match the threads to your beautiful papers and I also find it very relaxing. The “Oh Happy Day’ is a fabulous collection for adding stitching with all those pretty bright coloured papers, so I used some bright red thread which stands out on the beautiful blue paper. So come on, show me your projects with some added stitching, it can be hand stitching or machine. I am so looking forward to seeing your lovely stitched creations.

Kaisercraft Products Used: Oh Happy Day Collection: P2892 Time to Party|P2893 Fire Crackers|P2899 100’s & 1000’s|P2898 Party Popper|CS376 Clear Stamp Set

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.

You can download the instructions for my layout here

Grand Bazaar – Thankful for you

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.

Kaisercraft Products Used: Grand Bazaar – P2866 Folklore|P2867 Ceramic Tiles x3|P2868 Boho Paisley x 2|FL662 Flourish Pack|

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.

You can find this beautiful collection and other Kaisercraft products over on the Kaisercraft website

See you soon, happy crafting!!!
