Nichole - Kaisercraft Blast Off! Card
This fun line is perfect for boys or girls, but can be handy to keep a masculine paper on handy for a boy's birthday, or a budding astronomer. Cute detail stitching and textiles, bright happy primary colors, and stars make this an instant favorite of mine.
I've taken this collection and made both a card and a matching envelope using the new We Are Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board.
Background paper is from the Blast Off 6x6 Paper Pad, set on top of a Kraft coloured cardstock base cut to a standard card size. Round star dots are cut from the same background paper and popped on foam adhesive.
Sentiment is from Hero Arts, with Stickles in Yellow to fill in the stars.
Glittery stars are from Studio Calico's Wood Veneers Stars, topped with Yellow Stickles from Ranger Industries and glued on with Glossy Accents. A band of green ribbon around the card ties in the bright green and breaks up the space visually.
Inside of card wishes the lucky little Space Cadet a Happy Birthday! Stamped in Versafine ink with a sentiment from Hero Arts.
I made a coordinating envelope that mimiced the stitching theme and coordinated nicely. Hand lettered starbust "BLAST OFF!" counting down.
Thanks for looking!

Nichole - Kaisercraft Sweet Pea Cards
This cheerful line of papers, die cuts, and rub ons features pinks, reds, subtle blues and nudes all paired together for an innocent, fresh collection. This cute collection features animals, birds, and a theme of friendship and love.
This free form message features floating cardstock stickers over a tag tyed off with a bit of Papervine Twine in pink. White gel pen defines the edges of this vellum piece with whimsical stitching.
Paper bloom in Honey from Kaisercraft gives the cardfront a touch of elegance in admist the whimsy.
The polka dots of this background paper from the 6x6 paper pad were a bit strong - so I toned them down with a sheet of Vellum paper to frame the message.
Owl Love You Always die cut from Sweet Pea collectables adorns the inside - as well as a rubon. Rubons are an excellent way of adding flair to the inside of a card. "Friends are easy to find, hard to let go, and impossible to forget!"
The next card is a bit more structured in its layout featuring a "scene" of floating clouds and bunting on an idyllic day.
Clouds were cut using Papertrey Ink Fluffy Clouds die and accented with Ranger Diamond Stickles, bunting is from Kaisercraft's Sweet Pea collectables. Awning border is a scalloped border from the coordinating Sweet Pea cardstock stickers.
Friends are Easy to find, Hard to let go of... sayings are from the same Sweet Pea coordinating cardstock sticker line from Kaisercraft.
Hand made pinwheels adorn the front tucked behind a ribbon banner - using some Kaisercraft textured cardstock. Papervine Twine in pink is tied at the bottom to balance the overall composition of the cardfront.
Two hand made pinwheels are tucked behind a ribbon shaped flag. Cardstock is Kaisercraft's Watermelon and Seabreeze Weave from Kaisercraft.
Rubons are a great way to add decoration to the interior of any card or item without giving it unnecessary bulk! Definitely worth a go if you haven't used rubons in a while or were scared of using them.
Thanks for looking!

Teresa - more KaiserCraft Hopscotch cards
Hi there - Teresa here! On Wednesday I showed you a bright set of cards I made using KaiserCraft's Hopscotch range. You can see that post here.
Today I have another set of cards from the same range of paper, but this time I have pulled all the neutral elements from the range and made a completely different set of cards:
These papers are from the paper pad, the scallop border from the die cut sheet at the back of the pad, and the bird and combi van are from the sticker sheet.
The next card has a couple stylised flowers are from the Collectables pack:
and the chevrons on the last card were cut out of the chevron sheet of paper out of the paper pad.
It's almost hard to believe these cards came from such a bright range!
Thanks for dropping in for a look today :)

Teresa - Bright KaiserCraft Hopscotch cards
Hi all! Teresa here with some cards using the beautiful Hopscotch range from KaiserCraft:
Here they are one by one:
For this second card I used some pieces from the Collectables pack, some of the sheets and die cuts from the paper pad, and a little piece of ribbon and some twine.
Here they are one by one:
I used one of the sections on the Artful sheet as the card front, and embellished with bits and pieces from the Collectables pack and the sticker sheet. The borders come from the back of the paper pad.
For this second card I used some pieces from the Collectables pack, some of the sheets and die cuts from the paper pad, and a little piece of ribbon and some twine.
The third card was made using a sheet and die cuts from the paper pad, a sticker and some Collectables. The hello stamp is very old Hero Arts.
Putting this card together made me realise how much time I saved by having a few different products from one collection on hand, instead of wasting time looking for things that match!
Thanks for dropping in today.

Nichole - Kaisercraft Elegance Card
This line is classic elegance embodied in silver and gold tones, foiled papers, and hints of teal. Peacock feathers and flowers are the main images in this line.
It can be used in various types of cards or projects and could be your go to paper when you need extra sparkle!
I've used the Kaisercraft Elegance 6.5x6.5 paper pad in this line to create an anniversary card to showcase its foiled paper. I chose a bright white paper with silver and gold flowers and swirls.
This star circle is the Starry Wreath die from Memory Box. The stars have been accented with a Sakura Gelly Roll Silver Stardust pen to make them sparkle and shine. Corners have been rounded with a We R Memory Keepers Corner chomper in 1/2" size.
This sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Movers and Shakers line. It's heat embossed using a mixture of silver and gold embossing powder.
Every Single Day! Not just on special occassions like today. This sentiment is versatile for whatever day you may be celebrating.
The midsection was cut using a die - and sentiment section was hand cut and propped on foam adhesive spanning the window.
A view from the side displaying the centre which has been cut with a Spellbinders Rectangle die, then framed with the Starry Wreath die cut, and finally overlaid with the sentiment on foam adhesive.
MT Metallic Washi tape adorns the edge to break up the large area of pattern. A metallic twine is tied around the bottom to balance the overall shape.
And finally the inside of the card - it's been decorated as well with Kaisercraft Collectables Elegance die cuts.
And this Elegance paper line was WONDERFUL to work with. It's a versatile paper line that can be used for Birthdays, Anniversaries, New Years - or any ocassion where you need a special touch of elegance.
Thanks for reading!

Nichole - Kaiercraft Hopskotch Card
This new collection from Kaisercraft uses bright shades of raspberry, cool tones of teal, and sharp bright greens for a retro look and feel. Mod shapes, VW vans, and sketchy lines make this one of my new favorite lines!
I had just finished another inspiring class with Online Card Classes - Pattern Play, and was ready to tackle the challenge of this bright and inspiring patterns featured in nearly every paper in this line. I used the multicolor pattern paper as the base, and built my color scheme from there.
My outer sentiment was stamped using PaperTrey Ink's Movers and Shakers sentiments on the Notes diecut from the Collectables. Rub banners ons flank either side of this card as the breeze gently rolls by.
Greeting was stamped using Tsukineko Memento Ink in Rich Cocoa Brown, a perfect compliment to the warm retro tones.
Alternating corners of the card are rounded to give it an overall mod shape.
Glittery silver twine from Typo is the perfect compliment to this card.
And true to my resolution for the new year - to decorate the inside of the cards more I went all out. Fantastic full size color rub ons are my new favorite supply from Kaisercraft - they lay perfectly flat and give the inside of your card that extra OOMPH it needs!
Inside sentiment was stamped using Tsukineko Memento ink in Rich Cocoa with a sentiment from PaperTrey Ink onto a Collectables die cut. The "you're" portion was from PaperSmooches stamps, stamped onto a sticker sheet from this collection.
I really enjoyed this collection and thank you for looking!

KaiserCraft Bundle of Joy projects
Hello! Teresa here to show you some porjects I made using the beautiful range of papers from KaiserCraft called Bundle of Joy. I think I'll be stocking up on this range - it's so nice to have some on hand for those exciting occasions when a new life comes into our world.
First up is a layout:
First up is a layout:
This is my daughter Rachel when she was just six weeks old. I have used these photos over and over again for layouts - in classic black and white they match anything.
I started this layout with a KaiserCraft stencil and some pink paint. I cut about 1cm from the edges of the white piece of cardstock and machine stitched it to a piece of pink cardstock. Then I used pieces of patterned paper from the Paper Pad to mount the photos, and bits and pieces from the Collectables pack to embellish here and there. This range also comes with Sticker Sheets - that's where the pennants for the banner came from. The wooden embellishments for this range are just too cute! All they needed was a little brown ink sponged on them to help them pop.
All the layout needed to finish it off were some flowers and a title (from the Collectables pack).
I also made a card for a friend of mine who has told us she is having a boy:
but because you never can be 100% sure, I thought I'd make a pink version as well, just in case:
I hope you're all enjoying the Easter break. I'm loving the extra time with family for sure!
Thanks for dropping in today.

Teresa - Double Pocket Card
Hi there! Teresa here showing you a great idea for when you want to present a card that contains a gift. Here's my double pocket card:
I will be using this as a wedding card, so my double pocket card contains a couple of tags for us to write messages ato the bride and groom:
You could also pop in vouchers, cinema or concert tickets, a little hand written note, a flat little chocolate bar, cash etc. The possibilities are endless!
With Valentine's Day being last month, there are lots of love-themed papers and embellishments around which are perfect for making wedding cards. I have used a sheet of 12x12 Love Notes paper by Pink Paislee for the card, and some Polka Dance on the tags. I also used some of the gorgeous stickers on the Secret Crush sticker sheet. The flowers are by KaiserCraft.
If you're interested in making your own double pocket card, I'd direct you to YouTube, where you'll find dozens of step-by-step videos. You will need to start off with an A4 sized piece of double sided paper, make a couple of cuts and folds, and that's it! They really are easy to make.
Thanks for stopping by today!
