Kaisercraft May Blog Challenge

Hi Guys,

I hope you're all doing well!

I thought I would play along with Kaisercraft's May Challenge and what a fun one, a Bingo style challenge!
All you need to do is choose three letters from the grid:

I Picked...

B for box

C for collectables/die cuts

S for stamping

I made a Tea Explosion box using the gorgeous Kaisercraft's 'High Tea' Collection, this is such a beautiful collection!

So here's my box:

I purchased this Tea explosion box silhouette file from 'Paper Is My Life' on Etsy and it includes the box, mats, tea pot and cup and a few extras!

The paper is Kaisercraft's High Tea and matching Collectables, simply gorgeous!

I used a tea stamp set that I found in my stash and can't recall the name of it lol!

A Kaisercraft wooden button, die cut bow and twine finished off my embellishments and I place a tiny Kaisercraft White pearl on the teapot lid!

Inside the box, there's four little pouches that contains English Breakfast Tea Bags and in the centre box there are five shortbread rounds(there should off been six but I ate one roflol)and tied together using a High Tea Collectable sentiment and a Kaisercraft Pink rose flower!

I loved how the box turned out!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hi Guys,

Hope you're all doing well!

I made a Christmas Planner insert for my Webster's Pages Traveler's Notebook using Simple Stories 'Claus & Co' Collection from last year, LOVE this collection lol!

I have downloaded and printed off some Christmas Pocket Planner Pages from Organized Home and cut to size to fit into my pockets!

I have used very simple embellishments and used Washi Paper Tape, Die Cuts and Enamel Dots from the Claus & Co Collection!

Very simple to make and once I'm finished using it I can pop in into my 2016 December Daily album!

I have made other Christmas Planners in the past!

I was thinking about making some more Twist and Pop Cards using different paper collections as I've been hoarding Simple Stories 'Claus&Co' paper collection from last year(LOVE that collection lol)

Hi Guys,

I hope you're all well!

Not long now till the big guy in the red suit arrives lol and I hope you're on his good list lol!

I've been creating up a storm with my Silhouette and this is one of the creations I made!
I purchased a file from the Silhouette Design Store, 3D Holiday Wreath by Jamie Cripps!

Here's my wreath...

The funny this is, I really dislike wreaths but I was taken with this design so I thought, 'Why not'! LOL!!!

Very simple to put together and of course I had to add bells lol and a few red gems for a little bling!

A Witch And Her...

Hi Guys,

Well, it's been awhile but I do hope you've all been keeping well!

I just love my Silhouette Cameo and she gets a good work out lol and it has taken me a long time to master the art of print and cut lol!

I love all the print and cut files in the Silhouette store and have a nice little collection.  I was browsing my library and came across a few files I wanted to work with but they were cut files so with the aid of YouTube(just gotta love YouTube lol)I easily turned my cut files into a Print and Cut, simple as lol!

I don't do Halloween but I've had these files so I though I'll use them, so I made a couple of A4 signs, so easy, just pick your file, add the colour, turn line colour off and then select no cut and presto...

So here's my Halloween signs...

 

 

 

Well my little monsters aren't so little anymore lol!

The black webs and the black witch are cut out using black glitter cardstock and the little witch is popped up in the frame using some 3D foam!

Files Used:
~A Witch Phrase
~Witch
~Spider Web

What I love is that you can resize all the images and sentiments to suit your needs!

So the next thing I would like to try to master is Vinyl, now that's scary roflol!

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Till next time, Take care and Keep Smiling,

Sweet...

Hi Guys,

Hope the start of your week has been a good one!

I'm still playing with Kaisercraft's 'All That Glitters' collection and I have made another super easy and super quick card which took me less the 5 mins, gotta love that lol!

Here's my card:

The Pink pattern paper comes from the 6 X 6 paper pad, the flowers, Pink butter fly and the sweet sentiment comes from the collectables pack and I have fussy cut some butterfly's from the gorgeous gold foil butterfly sheet that is in the paper pad!

I have used a Kaisercraft Lattice die  and die cut it in White cardstock and adhered this onto my Pink pattern paper card front and finished off with some pretty Kaisercraft Pink gems and some clear sequins!

A very simple card!

Now off to use more of this gorgeous collection!

Thanks for stopping by!

Till next time, enjoy your week,

Leave A Little Sparkle Wherever You Go...

Hi Guys,

Just a card I put together using this week's Mojo Monday's Sketch(390)!

LOVE this sketch:

and here's my take on the sketch:

Once again I have used Kaisercraft's 'All That Glitters' Collection! 

I simply love this gold and teal dotted paper and I cut out the gold butterfly's from the paper collection paper pad and finished off using the 'All That Glitters' collectables and I placed the tiniest amount of glitter on the love sentiment but it doesn't show too good on the photo!

This was one easy card to create with no stamping, I just followed the sketch, choose my papers and embellishments and Presto lol!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
