Kaisercraft P.S I Love You Layout with Video

Today I am sharing a Layout and Process Video using the gorgeous new P.S I Love You Collection.  This is the Layout I made and below is the video of how I made it...

This collection is such a pretty one...I'm a big fan of the colours grey and pink, they go so well together.  These papers really are a joy to create with.

All of these little scrappy bits of paper were actually off cuts from other layouts and cards I have already made with this collection.  I didn't cut anything specifically for this layout I just used scraps!  Scraps are perfect for building layers behind a photo.

The Collectables in this collection worked so well with the scrappy layers.

I painted the wooden butterfly with some white paint to match it in to the collection.

The silver gel pen and splats of paint give a very subtle detail to the background paper.

Kaisercraft "Peek-a-Boo" Layout with Video Tutorial

On the 1st of September 2016 we welcomed a second beautiful boy into our family  - Billy Blake McNamara.  So you can understand how excited I was when I found out that Kaisercraft was releasing a new set of baby papers called the Peek-a-Boo Collection.  Today I am sharing a Layout with Process Video using the blue baby papers from "Peek-a-Boo".  It was nice to have the opportunity to scrap this recent photo of Baby Billy.

Here is the video of how I made the Layout:

This Layout features the gorgeous new Decorative Die released this month called Carousel.  It is just beautiful and will be perfect for your Baby cards, Baby layouts and other Baby projects.

DD574 Decorative Die - Carousel

I have been loving using the Kaisercolour Gel Pens with the Kaisercraft Templates.  It gives a very accurate pattern, much neater and clearer than paint, Kaiser Mists or texture paste.  Plus there is no mess to clean up!!

  I have the original 24 pack of Gel Pens, but now you can also purchase 12 packs, a 48 pack and each colour can also be purchased singularly.  Check out the full range of gel pens here and the full range of Kaisercraft templates here.  There are endless possibilities combining these two amazing Kaisercraft products!

Thank you for stopping by today to check out my Layout and watch my video...I hope you a new idea or two...if you decide to give the Gel Pens and Templates a try, be sure to let me know.  I would love to see the results.
