Kaisercraft Fly Free by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone   A new month and another 3 new collections from Kaisercraft. Today I am creating with the lovely Fly Free Collection, with it's gorgeous purples and greens. Think lots of florals and a couple of bold patterns that are nice and bright.   My layout today is, Friends are the Sunshine of Life    

   Lots of busy patterns in this range, so I have chosen white cardstock for my base and just made a lot of light splatters in co-ordinating ink sprays. Then I've layered several different patterned papers and embellished with some of the collectibles, including the journaling circle I have used as the title.  

    A close up of the gorgeous 2Crafty piece I have used as a feature. I've inked it and added some sparkle with Sheer Shimmer Spritz.    

And these cute flowers & leaves are in the Fly Free collectibles pack, I've just layered them up into a little cluster. I've added a couple of flair badges from my stash to complete the page.

Crate Paper "Journey" - by Linda Eggleton

Hello everyone, and Hello July! Boy, winter sure has shown itself in my neck of the woods the last few days....it has been freezing! July sees me playing with a new collection....and I have to say that it sure is a fun one! This month I'll be creating with Crate Paper - Journey collection ...which will be  perfect for all those travel/holiday photos that we all have that we never seem to  get around to scrapping. And I have to say...there are so many amazing embellishments that come with this collection... just the Ephemera pack has 63 vellum & cardstock pieces!  And then there's the  cardstock stickers, the cork stickers, puffy stickers....and the list goes on!     You definitely won't be running short with the choices of embellishments for this collection :) My first layout with the Journey collection is from our most recent trip away in our caravan "Let the Journey Begin"

I am loving the natural colours mixed with a few pastels in this collection.

I have used the reverse side of the Tribal paper for the background, with a narrow strip

 of the reverse side of the Teepee paper down the left side.  I've also added one of the

 cut-off strips & a strip of Kaisercraft decorative tape where the 2 papers join.

This one little piece of paper, from the Let's Go paper, was the inspiration behind this page.

How cute is that little caravan?!?!  It was begging to be used & I was more than happy to

 oblige...lol

I have mounted it onto some scrap cardstock I had in my stash, just to help it tie in 

with the white border on the photos.

I have added a cluster on the right hand side of the photos....some Petaloo & Green 

Tara flowers, along with a Flutterby Flair, some punched leaves - using cork 

sheeting, plus some paper diecut leaves.

Off to the side of the cluster is one of the pieces from the Tags with Gold Foil acetate sheet.  

I have cut the shield shape from the tag & mounted it onto a piece of the cardboard packaging

 from the Puffy Icon stickers.

I cut a few banner shapes from a variety of papers & layered them to the side of the 

photos...also adding a few of the Ephemera pieces layered in amongst them, 

including the  gorgeous glittery gold arrow!

I have coloured the 2Crafty mini camera with my Gelatos...first giving it a coat of Gesso.

These are some of the pieces from the Cardstock & Vellum Ephemera pack....as well as 

a couple of the Puffy Icon stickers, which are the small arrows.

For the title, I've used the word "Journey" from the Cork Phrases & Arrows stickers, as well 

as some of the alpha stickers that come with the Cardstock sticker sheet.

The journaling strips are also from the Puffy Stickers cardboard packaging.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my first page with this fun collection.

A list of products is listed at the bottom of this post...including links to the AAS store.

Until next time....Happy Scrapping :) xx

Final Pink Paislee Atlas Collection by Fiona Johnstone

Hello     Last day of June, that's half the year gone, already! But as it's not quite a new month I have one more layout to share using the fabulous Atlas Collection by Pink Paislee. Loved this collection and am finishing the month with another London layout.   Tower of London  

    I'm sure I have mentioned a few times now that I love the colours in this collection, the two blues are perfect for travel photos that contain a lot of blue sky or water and the other colours work nicely together.   A couple of close-ups:  

  To embellish this page I have used a few bits and pieces from my stash, alongside the Atlas Embellishments and some other travel ranges such as Jillibean Soups Sightseeing Stew.  

  My background is some white cardstock that I have used watered down inks to create a pale blue background. I've finished off my page with some Thickers to bring in a little more yellow, a date tag and clear embellishment from the ephemera pack in the Atlas Collection.
Thanks for visiting and I will be back next week with some brand new collections!   Fiona x     Products Used:   Pink Paislee Atlas Paper -  Altitude Pink Paislee Atlas Paper -  Compass Pink Paislee Atlas Paper - Latitude Pink Paislee Atlas Paper -Souvenir  Pink Paislee Atlas Paper - Ticket to Ride Pink Paislee Atlas Paper - Wheels Up Pink Paislee Atlas Paper - Post Card Pink Paislee Atlas Ephemera Jillibean Stew Sightseeing Stew Label Stickers American Crafts Thickers October Afternoon Mini Market Stickers Dylusions Ink Spray London Blue White Cardstock Flair Button Veneer Crown

Basic Grey Tea Garden & Kaisercraft Into The Wild - by Linda Eggleton

Good morning everyone & welcome to the last Friday of June....eeek!

I have one more layout to share with you all, again using the fabulous 

Tea Garden collection from Basic Grey.

This time I've used a photo that is kind of Christmas themed.....

"Jump"

I have used the plain pink side of the Jasmine paper for the background, and have started off by adding a small amount of textured stencil work using the Crafter's Workshop 12x12 Tiny Circles template with some modelling paste.  I then chose a variety of leftover pieces to layer up behind the photo.

The photo is one that my kids took of themselves....they did a little photo shoot & gave the photos as a gift last Christmas, and not sure if you can see properly, but they are wearing cute Christmas hats :)  This one is of my son & his g/f jumping for joy, I guess....in anticipation of Santa coming! lol

The lemon coloured circles on the background were cut from the Spiced paper...which is covered in these large spots on one side.  I then used a few different coins - 20c, 10c & 5c, to trace & cut out the centre of some of the circles - making sure they weren't all perfectly centre.  I have distressed & inked all the edges & also used the smaller pieces that were cut from the centre of some of the circles, just to vary the sizes & give it a more balanced look.

At the top right of the photo I've added a small cluster of Green Tara flowers, Flutterby Flair, sticker from the Element sticker sheet & some punched leaves & butterflies.

Here is a close up of the stencil work & the cut circles.

I have used a few pieces of 2Crafty chipboard - some of the Chevron Bits that I've coloured red with my Gelatos...straight onto the raw chipboard, and also one of the Polaroid Frames that is sitting over the photo.  I then used the ringed circle piece from the Element sticker sheet over the top of the Polaroid Frame & have put some small pieces of foam tape underneath, adding more height to the layered area of the photo.  I love the effect this gives of double framing the photo, which really draws the focus to the photo.....and also ties in with the rest of the cut circles.

The title is using the lemon circle alphas from the Alpha sticker sheet, and I have mounted them onto circles cut from the English Breakfast paper with 

foam tape for more height again.

Here is a close up of the main area of the page.

I have added my journaling around the edges on 3 sides of the page.

A list of products with links to the AAS store is at the bottom of this post :)

Next I have my very last layout as DT member for Kaisercraft, using the super cool

"Into the Wild" collection.

"Explore the Zoo"

It was REALLY hard to choose a background paper for my one & only layout.

I tend to use my fav's for my background....and there were just too many fav's with this one! lol

I finally decided on Savannah & have layered up a few papers at the top of the layout, including as piece cut from the specialy diecut paper - Desert...this is such a COOL diecut paper!!

I've used a variety of diecut collectable pieces....and also some 

stamped images using the stamp set.

Also some stickers from the sticker sheet.

More collectables...and a bit of a close up of the Desert diecut paper.

My title is one of the diecut words from the collectables pack, and I've added some texture to it using modelling paste & then painting with mist.

I've also used one of the other stamps in this collection - Cheetah texture stamp....perfect for some background stamping!

There is also another texture stamp with this collection - Zebra!

And some more of the stamping detail.

A lot of the collectables & stamped images I have put up onto foam tape to give 

some dimension to the page.

Kaisercraft - Into the Wild collection

Kaisercraft Into the Wild by Fiona Johnstone

Hello     Today I am sharing two layouts created with the fantastic Into the Wild collection by Kaisercrafts, perfect to get those Zoo and other wildlife photos scrapped! Think browns, oranges and greens and fab animal prints with this fun collection.   My first layout to share is Sloths   This is my favourite photo from our visit to Singapore Zoo back in 2013. I was so close to this mumma sloth and her baby I could of touched her!    

  I have used Kraft cardstock for my background, it goes perfectly with this range and used an old Crafters Workshop mask in a combination of greens and brown spray inks to create a jungle themed background. Then I've used multiple paper layers including the fabulous diecut from the range on my page. I've used the arrow part of the die-cut under my photo and both the orange circle strip at the bottom of my page and the orange strip at the top are all from the die-cut.     A close-up of my page details:  

   I've used the Zoo sticker and an arrow from the Collectibles pack, a WRMK enamel heart,  a flair button and wood veneer speech bubble. And on the other side, my title from some older Thickers, a Kaisercraft resin flower and a Collectible from the Into the Wild collection.  

    And my second layout;  Do Not Feed the Animals  

This is a fun page, a photo op we took advantage of on one of our visits to Wild Life Sydney. This crocodile is always a hit with the kids.  

 

  Once again I have used Kraft cardstock for my background, it just goes so well with this collection. My background is again in greens and browns, but I have used a crocodile skin background and some dots. The PL style cut outs on the papers are perfect as titles, I just loved this one with my photo choice :)    

I've used some wood veneer again, they always look great on Kraft. Also as usual the stickers and collectibles from the range. I love the little titles that are included in the collectible packs, such as the one Explore I have used on the bottom of my page.

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

Basic Grey Tea Garden & Kaisercraft Fiesta! - by Linda Eggleton

Hello there & welcome.

Today I have another layout to share using the lovely

Basic Grey Tea Garden collection.

This time I've used some travel photos & gone for papers that suited - mostly greens,

which shows that this really is quite a versatile collection :)

"Lough Caragh"

I have used the Green Tea paper as my base, and I've added a small amount of stenciled texture to it using a Teresa Collins stencil & modelling paste.  I also used the Mint paper to add the 

white border to the page. 

I've grouped together a few different Green Tara flowers & leaves, as well as a few stickers from the Elements sticker sheet to create a cluster....and you can also see some of the stencil work here.

I added another smaller cluster at the upper left of the photos, again Green Tara flowers, Element sticker & a cute Flutterby flair....and just below that I've included some yummy 2Crafty Chevron Bits that I've coloured lime green with my Gelatos - these are one of my favourite 2Crafty pieces, as they are super versatile & can be added to any type of layout & they ALWAYS look fabulous!

More Chevron bits on the opposite side of the photos....and the title is using the alpha stickers, which has 3 different sized & styles of alpha stickers, which makes it awesome value!

Across the bottom of the photos I've added a border sticker from the Element sticker sheet....I wanted to add some blue to the page, to pick up the blue in the water & sky in the photos.
A list of products with links to the AAS store can be seen at the bottom of this post.


Next I have some of my Kaisercraft DT work to share with you all,using the bright & funky  Fiesta! collection.   The name of this collection describes it to a T!
I was a little pushed for time creating for this month, so I have only managed to create a set of cards. "Thinking of You"

I started by picking out a few of my favourite papers & have layered them up & finished off with a centre piece that I've stamped using the Fiesta stamp set - this is a super cool stamp set, I tell ya!

& a cluster of blooms, collectables & some cotton thread.

The centre circular piece was cut using the full circle piece of the Circle Card Flip die that was released this month.

There are a few stamps that come with this collection - called Aztec & Geo

I have used the Aztec stamp on all 3 cards....it is a set of super cool geometric strips.

I've added some veneer brackets that I've painted white for a little bit of contrast.

Kaisercraft products – Arriba P1862, Paper Pad PP971, Collectables CT829, Fiesta clear stamp set CS226, Aztec Texture stamp CS219, Sunset paper bloom F634, Hot Pink paper bloom F663, Sea Breeze mini paper bloom F648, Hot Pink Rhinestone SB702, Circle Card Flip Die DD111

Other – Cotton thread,  Button, Bracket veneers, Foam tape, Butterfly punches,  Archival Ink

  "You Make Me Happy"

Again, very similar design...with layers of PP & a circular centre piece.

All 3 cards also have a little clump of messy cotton & some stamping using the Aztec stamp set.

Kaisercraft products – Sombrero P1860,  Paper Pad PP971,  Collectables CT829,  Fiesta clear stamp set CS226,  Aztec texture stamp CS219,  Sea Breeze paper bloom F631,  Hot Pink mini paper bloom F668,  Berry Vine decorative die DD522,  Circle Card Flip Die DD111

Other – Butterfly veneer, Flair button,  Cotton thread,  Foam tape,  Archival Ink

"Hello Beautiful"

The third card is pretty much similar to the first 2 in design principle

just to tie them all together as a set.

Kaisercraft products – Pinata P1856,  Paper Pad PP971,  Collectables CT829,  Fiesta clear stamp set CS226,  Aztec texture stamp CS219,  Sea Breeze paper bloom F631,  Hot Pink mini paper bloom F668,  Yellow pearls SB797,  Circle Card Flip Die DD111
