Mermaid Tails Layout with Kaiser Mists and Video

It's Kaiser Mist Week on the Kaisercraft Blog and today all the Design Team have produced projects using Kaiser Mists.

I chose to make a Layout using the Mermaid Tails Collection.  I sprayed and flicked Kaiser Mists all over the background page and edged the page with Blackberry Kaisermist and a Paintbrush.

I misted my paper doily with Blackberry as well and painted Blackberry Kaiser Mist onto the little wooden butterfly embellishment.  I also coloured the green flower to match my layout with Turquoise Kaisermist.

On Monday this week I posted a Kaisermist Video that I made and the background paper for this layout is on the video.  If you missed the video on Monday I have popped it in again for you here.

Kaiser Mists Video and Kaiser Mist Projects

Hello lovely Kaisercrafters, Alicia here with you today!

This week on the Kaisercraft Blog we are focusing on the product Kaiser Mists.  We have a whole week of inspirational tips, tutorials and projects in store for you dedicated to this amazing product!  I thought I would start off the week with a little video about the range of colours that are available and five techniques you can use with your Kaiser Mists...

In the video I also talk about some projects I have made using Kaiser Mists.  I will go through each of the four projects below...

Project One: "Always and Forever" Layout using the Always and Forever Collection

We recently had a wedding last month in my family.  My brother and his beautiful fiancee got married in Tamworth, NSW.  This is a photo of my sister and her three gorgeous cherubs outside the church.  My sister's husband is missing from this photo, but it was such a beautiful photo and I felt the colours went really well with the Forever and Always collection so I wanted to use it.  I know these three little people are certainly my sister's "Forever and Always" VIP in her life so I thought the photo was quite suited to this collection.

On this project I used three Kaiser Mist products; Peach, Antique Gold and Charcoal.  I sprayed Peach and Antique Gold onto the Gloss Paper; PS452 Crochet Doilies.  Then (as I show in the video) I wiped a baby wipe over the paper to reveal the gloss doily pattern.  Then I sprayed the Charcoal on over the top.  Using Kaiser Mists on Kaisercraft's Specialty Gloss Paper is an easy and effective way to use your Kaiser Mists.

Project Two: "Love is Friendship set on Fire" Layout using the Always and Forever Collection

After going to my brother's wedding I was browsing through my own wedding photos and I chose this photo to scrap.  It was taken on my parent's driveway, at their farm.   I selected the lovely Wooden Paper P2089 Romance as a background for the layout because I felt it went nicely with the trees in the photo.  This collection really suits a country wedding with its natural colour scheme and floral touches.

On this project I sprayed the Kaisermist  Coffee through the 12x12 Designer Template - Floral Lace onto the P2095 Commitment Paper.  Using a Kaisercraft 12x12 Designer Template is another super easy and effective way to utilise your Kaiser Mist products.

I also used Kaiser Mist Peach to alter the colour of one of the Coral Paper Blooms for the Layout.  If you find you don't have the exact shade of paper Bloom that would match your project you can experiment with changing the colours of your blooms by spraying them with Kaiser Mists.

Project Three: "You are the Sunshine that makes my Day" Card using the Mermaid Tails Collection

I made a card with the beautiful Mermaid Tails Collection.  There are so many lovely elements you can fussy cut in these papers.  I made a little floral arrangement around a sentiment which I layered on top of a paper doily.  I sprayed the paper doily with a variety of  Kaiser Mists to make it super colourful and pick up some of the lovely pastel colours in this paper range.

The colours I used were; Turquoise, Candy, Blackberry, Aqua and Pink on top of  a plain white Kaisercraft doily.

I also sprayed the background paper using a 12x12 Template T627 Nautical Quarters and the Wisteria Kaiser Mist.

Project Four: "Happy" Tag using the Mermaid Tails Collection

My final project for today is a little tag I made using the Mermaid Tails Collection.  For the background of this tag I used the Specialty Gloss Paper from the 6 1/2 inch Paper Pad and the Blackberry Kaiser Mist.  The Specialty Gloss Paper also comes in a 12x12 size.

Then I simply decorated with die cuts, collectables and paper blooms.

Thanks for stopping by today and taking a look at my creations.  I hope you enjoyed the video and it has inspired you to have a little play with your Kaiser Mists.  If you don't own any Kaiser Mists yet, pop on down to your local Kaisercraft store and pick some up, or shop online...they are such a fun product to use and really allow you to customise papers and embellishments to suit your own creative style and your projects.  Please leave me a link in the comments section below, or on the Kaisercraft Facebook page showing some of your own crafty projects made with Kaiser Mists.  I would love to see them!

Have a beautiful, crafty day,

Kaisercraft Mermaid Tails and Glitter Card Stock Thank You Card and Gift Box

Today on the Kaisercraft Blog the Design Team have made creations teaming the new Kaisercraft Glitter Card stock with the new Mermaid Tails Collection for this month. The new Glitter Card Stock is truely beautiful.  It comes in 20 colours and the glitter doesn't get everywhere! It certainly adds some glamour and sparkle to your project!

I chose to make a co-ordinating card and gift box for a friend to say "Thank you" for being so sweet to me.  I decided to go with a Bronze glitter card stock and edged my flowers and die cuts with gold paint to match.

On the top of the Gift Box I used the Interlock Circles Die in the Bronze Glitter card Stock as a base for the cluster of flowers and sea-themed items.

I fussy cut the flowers out of the papers, painted the edges with gold paint and added paper blooms to the centre of the flowers.

The bottom of the box is Glitter card stock as well.  I plan to fill this little box with some chocolates for my friend.

Kaisercraft Always and Forever Wedding Invitation, Place Cards and Bonbonneire

For the Kaisercraft Blog today the theme is Weddings.  Kaisercraft's new "Always and Forever" Collection is just perfect for Wedding Cards, Invitations, Scrapbook layouts and any wedding-related project.  It would also be perfect for Anniversary Cards and Layouts and "Love" creations.  If you are planning a wedding, have an invitation to one, or have just been to a wedding and have photos to scrap, this collection is perfect for you! With lovely, warm earthy tones,  crocheted doilies and gorgeous flowers this collection is very versatile and can be used in a variety of different ways.  

I happen to have just been to my brother's wedding a few weekends ago and it was a beautiful wedding, so weddings have been close to our family these last few months.  For Kaisercraft I made a little coordinating set for a wedding day consisting of an Invitation, place cards and a little box that could be filled with chocolates as a Bonbonneire gift.

Everything I made in this collection I kept very simple because if you are making 100 plus of each item you don't want a very complicated design that would take a long time to make.  These place cards are simply designed so they can be mass-produced.  

I followed a simple box tutorial to make this Bonbonneire  "Thank you gift".  It would be the perfect little take-home memento for the occasion.

This was the invitation I designed.  It is very simple to make and could easily be mass-produced quickly and easily for a large amount of wedding invitations.  I have made three different wedding invites for family members who were getting married so I know how much a simple design is appreciated when you are in the middle of making a huge batch!  For this invite the doily folds back to reveal the details of the invite.  This same design could be used as a Menu at the wedding and also a Ceremony booklet.
