Other: Paints, ink pads, brads, leaf twine punch. 

So here now, is my special project with a tutorial to create your very own mini Shadow box - 
using the packaging case along with some of the little flourishes from the 

Flourish Pack FL574 Sea Life.



These flourishes are so fabulous for adding to your projects, and when you have only a few left of these flourishes, why not use the packaging and create another project for decor display or to give away to someone special.

Here is the finished Mini-Shadow Box…



Materials required:
Kaisercraft FL574 Flourish pack Sea Life
Inkpads - IP729 Tangello, IP723 Vintage, IP719 Black, IP727 Lagoon, 
IP726 Saffron
Kaisercraft Mists: KM113 Coffee, KM105 Turqouise, KM116 Aqua, KM103 Yellow.
Sticker sheet SS307 Costal Escape.
Other: Rock Salt, Muslin, glue, white gesso.




Paint the whole package box with white gesso, and leave to dry.

Spritz Kaiser Mist KM105 Turquiose inside each compartment of the box and while still wet add some Rock Salt, this will soak up all the colour from the mists.




Leave to complete dry and once it is dry, you will notice a great effect of
dipples of colour. I quite like this effect.


Ink the embellishments from the Sea Life Flourish pack FL574, with
Kaisercraft Inkpads.





Some new release colours of Kaiser Mists have just been released last month. I am totally in love with the colour - KM113 Coffee and KM116 Aqua.



Randomly spray the Kaiser Mists on pieces of muslin. Leave to dry.


Cut and tear the coloured muslim and glue around the edges and adhere inside the small compartments. Adhere some sentiments stickers and coloured flourishes, as shown.




Add some real small shells on the bottom of shadow box.

Elegant Ladies - Magnolia Lane papers

Hello there everyone, thanks for stopping by, here today, I am so excited to share with you my latest project using the New papers and embellishments from the new release "Magnolia Lane" from Couture Creations - Ultimate Crafts brand, designed by Sue Smyth.

For today I have created a layout using some of the new release dies, papers and embellishments from the Magnolia Lane collection.

"Elegant Ladies" layout 



The background page is the reverse side of "Elegant Lady" paper ULT157487


The top half of the page is created with the lace design of the paper "Gentle Magnolias & Lace" ULT157492 which I cut and then created some crinkle paper pleats to make them look like a curtain draping over the page.
I fuzzy cut some of the flowers from the paper "Floral Fancy" ULT157489 and added some of the gorgeous black lace Black Lace ULT157507 underneath the pleated paper.

The dies are all from the Magnolia Lane Collection which were cut out with black card stock, ULT2000007A4
They are  the word "ADORE" from Rosey Frame ULT157517
Tassels ULT157519
the leaves from the die "Rose Cutting" ULT157524
and the beautiful frame "Square Magnolia Frame" LUT157530




Adding the lovely chipboard birdcage (ULT157515 the Ephemera pack) on the top right hand of the page with two little butterflies.

Before I added the frame photo and flowers etc, I used the leave die ULT157523 as a stencil and with a Vintage ink pad I created some background leaves. I also love the stamp set from this collection so I created more flowers and leaves from this stamp set "Songbird" ULT157511 and placed them under the frame photo and at the bottom of the page.

The framed die cut "Square Magnolia Frame ULT157530 just looks so delicate and an elegant frame my vintage photo. (The photo is of my Great Aunties taken around 1935, just before the War.) "


The postcards under the framed photo are from the magnolia lane paper ULT157498 "Pretty Patches "
Adding some of the white beautiful lace ULT157506 around the edges of the page.













So here is the links to both Ultimate Crafts magazine and also the Couture Creations catalogue HERE


Thanks for looking :)

Cheers Adriana XXX

Happy Birthday card - Kaisercraft

Hi there everyone… thanks for stopping by here today. I have created another card for Kaisercraft using the new collection of papers "Coastal Escape" and clear stamp  CS255 Background fishing net.
This clear stamp is so versatile and large enough to cover an C6 size card stock. I used some embossing inks and vintage embossing powder to create a very rustic fishing net fro the background on my card. I also stamped the seahorse from the Clear stamp set CS250 and coloured her in with watercolour pencils.


Happy Birthday card


also adding some of the cute Flourishes from the Flourish pack FL574 Sea Life.


Be sure to visit the Kaisercraft website HERE for more inspirational projects from
the other Design Team members.


Thanks so looking

Alpha layout - Couture Creations

Hello there everyone, Adriana back here again today, sharing with you all another project for Couture Creations - Ultimate Crafts. I have created a very simple layout with two papers from the Ultimate Crafts - Magnolia Lane papers and embellishments. These gorgeous and beautiful papers and embellishments are Designed by Sue Smyth.

Here is my very simple and effect layout using only 2 papers from the Magnolia Lane collection - Timeless Garden ULT157493 & Typography ULT157496

Alpha Layout by Adriana Bolzon



along with the gorgeous embellishments from the Magnolia Lane collection.

Adhesive Chipboard ULT157516
Metal Trinkets ULT157500
Rosettes ULT157504
Songbird stamp ULT157511
Diecut Ephemera ULT157515





Firstly I cut all the alphas and numbers from the reverse side of the Typography paper ULT157496, then all ink the edges with a black ink pad.
Cut the strip of lace from the paper and keep this section for later on, the Butterflies are from the Diecut Ephemera pack and I added a metal trinket on top of one of the paper rosettes.




Sort them all out to create a nest of letters and numbers for your photo, trying to create as least one word the lefthand side of the page, I used the word JESS. You can make a few words with these letters, as there are a few doubles letters.




Adhere your cut out letters with glue or double sided tape, secure the lace strip on the right hand side of page, as shown below.



Place the Adhesive chipboard Birdcage as shown, I really love these chipboard pieces as they are sticky chipboard.  Very easy to use and no glue - Hooray :) 

Stamp around the bottom and top of page with ink pad and a Script and Leaves from the stamp set "Songbird" ULT157511 & Timeless Garden ULT157510



Adhere butterflies with 3D foam dots



Arrange a cluster of paper Rosettes ULT157504 around the bottom right hand corner of photo.


I double matted the photo and then mounted the whole page on black card stock, just showing a very tiny bit of a black edge, around the layout.

Very easy and pretty layout :)





I hope that you are inspired with what I created here with these gorgeous papers and products.

Until next time, Thanks for looking and for all your lovely comments :)
