Kaisercraft Delayed

We received official notification that the new release Kaisercraft for August has been delayed due to a packaging issue at Kaisercraft,  all of the new ranges have been ordered sometime ago, so we should get them pretty early in the piece.  Will keep you all posted the minute they land!

Up, Up and Away - Pt 2

Hey scrappy friends.

Here's a layout I created using another Kaiser Sketch from their FREE Workshop magazine. I took the photos recently after my sweet boy William had finished some icecream for dessert. Pretty sure at that point the sugar had taken effect. What do you thhink?? LOL

Have done lots of distressing and inking with TIM HOLTZ Distress Ink in Frayed Burlap, used a rub-on for the journalling spot, stamped some flourishes on some leftover patterned paper and added some chipboard buttons "tied up with string". There you go ATCers!! A little hint for the upcoming swap in August!!



...I've said it before and I'll say it again!! LOL I LOVE those Up, Up and Away papers. Although....wait till the Secret Bird Society collection hits the store. Pretty sure they are going to be my new favourites. Already have my order in with Simone (Don't forget Simone if/when you are reading this!! He he he)

Thanks for looking scrappers!

Up, Up and Away!

Hi scrappers!!

Just wanted to share a layout with you that I did on the weekend...



I'm really loving those Kaiser Up, Up and Away papers right now. Not to mention the embellishments!!. I used a Dusty Attic Picket Fence on my layout and added a Tattered Angels Calling Card on top along with a couple of metal hinges. I cut that big circle from calico and frayed the edges. Then added a smaller pattern paper circle on top which I had distressed and inked. I finished it off by stitching the two together. Also stamped some hot air balloons onto the calico, cut them out and frayed the edges of those too. Had a paper measuring tape in my sewing kit which I tore into pieces and pasted about the page.

Thanks for looking.
Happy scrappin'.

PS: Be back with another layout to share tomorrow!!

Mixing It Up with Kaiser

Hi scrappers!!

It's been awhile so I thought I'd better hurry up and share a layout with you all. It's not that I have been slack...,just busy!! Sorry!! I shall try to do better. I promise.

The layout I have to share is one I completed using a sketch from page 12 of the FREE KaiserCraft Workshop Magazine. First I had to get my head around using so many photos on the one layout!! Once I had chosen the photos it was just a matter of finding the right papers. I have found that you can easily match papers from various Kaiser Collections. You don't have to stick to just the one range for your layout. So for this one I chose some Le Chateau as well as some Devonshire and the gorgeous soft colours look really good together...



The mock flowers were made by cutting various size circles from Kaiser pattern paper. I distressed the edges of each with an edge distresser, then scrunched them up tightly, flattened out again slightly before layering together. Then I painted some Crackle Accents over the top using a paintbrush. Once they were completely dry and nice and crackly I topped each one with a Kaiser Up, Up and Away chipboard button which I had tied up with jute.

The leaves were created by stamping some Jungle Bug leaf stamps onto leftover scraps of Kaiser paper, scrunching them up, flattening out again and then painting with Crackle Accents as per the flowers. This gives them a lovely curled up look just like a real leaf.

I have also used the Up, Up and Away flourish stamp, stamped a few times onto Kaiser paper and then cut out the individual flourishes. I finished with a few stamped Up, Up and Away hot air balloons as well as the chipboard ones and some rub ons.

Hope you like it. Don't forget to check out the FREE KaiserCraft Workshop Magazine available instore for some more great sketches and inspiration.

Back soon with another share.

Cheers
Belinda

JULY ATC Swap Meet

This month we swapped on the theme of 'Cabaret',  and here are some shares of a small sample of what we swapped.  
Next Month August ATC theme will be " Tied up with String"  pulled from the theme box,  this could mean so much what will your interpretation be? , so get them thinking caps on,  remember a maximum of 8 cards to swap , but if you can only manage a few thats fine to. 
 If you cant attend in person you can send them in with a stamped addressed envelope and we will swap them for you and send your swapped ones back.
We are starting to get a few from interstate to swap each month now, and its great to see such a diversity in theme interpretations. So remember if you have a friend or someone who likes to ATC why not get them to send there's in and join in on the fun.     3rd thursday of each month.!    Thursday 19th August is the next one!
If you have an idea for a swap theme, why not write it on a slip of paper and drop it in our theme box next time you are in.
