In case you haven't hopped on over to the Kaisercraft Blog to see the new faces on the 2016/2017 Kaisercraft Design Team I thought I would share them on my blog here. These crafters are amazingly talented and their blogs are well worth a visit!
I am super lucky to be a part of the team again this year and can't wait to get started. We begin our new term on Monday 1st August. Already the Kaisercraft Blog is filled with scheduled posts full of inspiration and some incredible projects to share with you!!
You'll see some familiar faces from previous years and quite a few new ones.

Over at the Kaisercraft Blog we are officially farewelling the 2015-2016 Design Team Members and it is a little sad! We were asked to choose a couple of projects to share as some of our favourites from the year gone by. I chose this Forevever Card I made for my brother and his fiance when they got engaged and this Magic Layout below using the gorgeous Fairies collection of papers that I love.
Inside the card:

I remember making this layout and refusing to try and make a "flat" layout any longer. Relieving myself of the restriction that a layout had to be "flat" to fit into an album felt so good and I loved filling this space with lots of flowers, butterflies and sparkles. It would have to be one of my favourites.
Luckily its not a sad good bye for me on the team. I am super honoured and privileged to have another year with Kaisercraft that is just about to start, and I really am very excited to kick off next month with some gorgeous new projects.
I would like to sincerely thank you, my beautiful blog reader, for following me on this journey. I appreciate your comments and I appreciate you reading my posts. You make this whole journey so much more meaningful : ) Stay tuned this week for the announcement of the new Kaisercraft Team, until then have a lovely week : )
Hello! I've had a busy week and feel like it has been awhile since I blogged...but today I'm happy to be sharing some Cards, Beyond the Page Projects and a Layout using the two gorgeous Kaisercraft collections for the month of July, Mademoiselle and Bon Appetite.
Project One - "Awesome Little Helper" Layout
I had a lovely time making this fresh and modern layout using the Bon Appetit collection. It is featuring my little helper in the Kitchen.
I pin so many gorgeous layouts on Pinterest (Follow me here if you love pinning cards and layouts too!) and I realised just recently that so many of them have white backgrounds. I haven't done a Layout with a white background in ages so I thought I would give it a go with this collection. I chose a monochromatic colour scheme with bright red highlights.
I filmed a process video for this Layout that you might be interested in watching.

The Mademoiselle collection really inspired the card maker inside of me and I had a lovely time making cards with these gorgeous papers. This collection is full of beautiful flowers and butterflies, just perfect for making some lovely cards for your card stash.
Project Two - Friendship Card
I had a lovely time arranging a big cluster of flowers in the centre of this card. I'm saving this card to send to a special friend.

Project Three - A Trio of Mini Note Cards
I made a little trio of small note cards. These would be perfect for a little gift tag to decorate a present. This collection has a lovely vintage feel to it. The Kaisercraft cream lace goes perfectly with the colours in the papers and I have teamed it with some Kaisercraft organza ribbon and mini paper blooms.

Project Four - Butterfly Birthday Card
For a more modern look I cut a large butterfly from the collection and stamped the Butterfly background stamp a couple of times to make some more butterflies. I used corrugated card as the background paper with some strips of paper and swirls layered over the top.
I placed some mounting tape in between the three layers of the butterfly to keep the wings nicely elevated.
I added some twine and ribbon and mini paper blooms on the top of the layered butterfly.

Project Five - Decorated Birthday Frame
I have made several of these little frames in the past, using different collections of Kaisercraft papers, and I just love how quickly and easily they go together to make a nice gift for someone. This one I have made as a birthday gift for my Aunty who is celebrating a significant milestone this month.

Over on the Kaisercraft Blog today there is a post featuring the new Recipe Card product. I decided to make a little Recipe Book so I put together this little Mini Album.
This would make a lovely gift to a friend who loves being in the kitchen, or to someone just moving out of home needing a few recipes to get them started.
