Kaisercraft Blue Bay Class



can finally reveal my class I have just taught at the ATDML retreat
used the beautiful Kaisercraft Blue Bay collection together with some Cracked Pistachio Distress ink and quite a lot of foam pads!

Layout one used the embossed Dew paper which once inked over revealed a gorgeous design - as one 
lady in the class said ' it's like magic painting '
Layout two used lots more from the ephemera pack again with more inking 
The little frames in the pack were perfect for photos - and the embossed frame lent itself perfectly to being inked 
Time to relax now and get scrapping !

Kaisercraft Design Team 2015 Entry

Anyone who knows me knows that I love Kaisercraft products. My crafty style can be very flowery and layery which I think works very well with many of their collections.I also love the fact that there are lots of other products apart from paper within their ranges especially stamps which always stamp beautiful crisp clear images and gorgeous off the page products too.
 I've not applied before but thought  if you don't try you'll never know  -so why not !
So....

First up I have a layout

I fell in love with this frame when I saw it and have actually designed another layout for a retreat I am teaching at with it. What I really like is that you can ink the embossed shiny parts on the frame to echo whichever papers you are using. This is using the All that Glitters collection and I've used Picked Raspberry distress ink on the frame.I also did  a bit of gentle splatting with spun sugar distress stain on the background.

I've also used the Kaisercraft All That Glitters clear stamp set for the two sentiments and separate little butterflies, together with the All That Glitters sticker sheet for added embellishments.

Next up is a Beyond the Page project using the Kaisercraft 3D  Wall Art Square Frame 
I've used the Wunderlust paper collection as this is perfect for the photo I wanted to use in the frame.
I've also used Kaisercraft  clear stamps again  - this time the 'Sweet Pea' for the flower and banner  'All that Glitters' for the sentiment ,'Rocks' stamp for the background and 'Butterflies' ....for the butterflies!

I've cut various little sayings from the papers,inked the edges of the frame with Chipped Sapphire distress ink and also used a tiny bit of Treasure Gold on the corners of  the frames.

Thirdly - a Card
This is unashamedly blingy - typical me. I love pink and gold together so this combination in the All That Glitters range really appeals to me 
I've used lots of items from the Ephemera pack here from the All That Glitters collection together with two of the papers using the pink and gold side of one. The pink oval frame is layered over one of the flowers and I've edged this and the Dream Sparkle Shine sentiment with gold leafing pen.
So there we have it - my entry for this year. 
I do know there are a few of my crafting friends over here  who are also applying for a place so I wish everyone all over the world good luck but we are flying the flag for the UK  Kaisercraft lovers !
