Butterflies & Fairies in the Garden - Kaisercraft

Hi there everyone 

Thanks so much for stopping by here, today.
I am very excited about this month's latest release products from Kaisercraft.

This months' paper collection has

3 great new release paper yummies.
Today I have created with 

"Ma Cherie" 
a very shabby and rustic collection of papers.
&

"Fairy Dust" 
these are great papers for any little fairy Birthdays celebration.

So let's start with a stroll in the Garden, with my first project, I created with the "Ma Cherie" Paper collection, I created a Butterfly Pop-Up box card.
This is my take on it, using the Stamp set and Die set from Kaisercraft to create the fluttering butterflies. Decorating the box also with Ma Cherie collectables.

 "BUTTERFLIES in my GARDEN" Pop up box card.

The box folds completely flat, ready to pop inside a large envelope and send to someone special.

Now, these Butterflies are so easy to create with the following Kaiser products and some watercolour pencils and brush.

Step-by-step To create your very own - Butterfly Pop-up Box card.

"Dreams come true" card 

They look like they are flying away in a flutter. :)

Fairy Dust 
is another great paper collection for any little Fairy who will be celebrating a special occasion. This paper collection, is just fabulous for creating Birthday invitations, Birthday cards and then once you have some photos of your special day, create a wonderful layout or mini album.
Take a stroll now in my Fairy little Garden…...

I created a card with a different twist,

it's more like a mini Card Booklet. I have been making these for many years. Firstly, they can be given as a card with a special pocket for a gift voucher, 
It makes a great little album for placing some photos on the back or inside, a little fairy booklet to treasure.

"Happy Birthday Little Fairy" Card Booklet.

Front Page

Using the Paper P1969 Fairy Wishes and P1968 Star Dust paper sheets,

you can cut the panels out and they fit perfectly in my little booklet.

Inside Page 2  & 3
I decorated this page with some Fairy Dust collectables and
Paper flowers and blooms.
 I created a little pocket and made some

tags with the of the papers and collectables from this collection.

Here is a closer look at the tags inside the pocket page 3 - You can write little messages of love or wishes on the back of these tags or adhere photos on them later.

Page 4 - Here I added the Fairy Dust Collectables butterflies to the page.
and words from the Fairy Dust sticker sheet.

Page 5 - Here I added the Kaiser Flat paper flowers, paper blooms and punched leaves. The last page, the back I left it plain, so there is an opportunity to add some photos on the back.

Products used for the Fairy Dust - Mini Card/Album

After your fairy party I am sure that you will have some very special photos for creating a layout. Using the paper P1965 Enchanted, I did some fussy cutting of the flowers from the created a unique stamping background, with the CS242 Clear stamp set from the Fairy Dust collection.

"Dream & Believe" layout.

After stamping some of the images on my very plain white background, I then coloured some of the flowers and butterflies with watercolour pencils, gently blending them in with some clean water and brush. I love to create unique backgrounds and using clear stamps and some inks is a great way to achieve this.

Then, I gently inked the edges and splattered some colour ink sprays.

I arranged all my cut out flowers around the base of my layout and 

added my matted photos and also some little fairies from the Collectables pack.

Vintage Lace Pockets Cards - Couture Creations

Hi there everyone, today I am sharing my three Vintage inspired cards, that I have created using the wonderful new collection of dies from Couture Creations. 

Lace Pockets Die Cuts

and the

Secret Garden DIe
Chirp Chirp  C0724268

These are so easy to create, each die set in the collection come with little flowers or bows or pockets tags.

I have mixed the dies up a little, and cut out the details in some of the dies, just to show you how versatile these dies are. Once you see how I created these cards, I am sure that you will want the whole die collection,
There are 5 different sets to collect. Order them now from your local scrapbooking store, I think these are going to be quite popular.

So, lets begin with the paper, I chose a pink Damask page of the beautiful and wonderful 
Christmas Emporium Collection - Papers  and teamed it up with black , white and rose coloured card stock.

Here are my three cards

Please note the that Vintage images are from my private collection.
I purchased these when I went to Paris last year, but you can use any vintage images.

In this gorgeous set of Christmas papers there are 2 of each design. 
I totally love this vintage paper collection.
Some of the pages could be used not just for Christmas themed
projects. So, today I have created 3 Vintage Cards using the Pink Damask
paper from this collection.

Vintage Card no 1

I have used the Lace Pockets Die Cuts in different ways, to show you all how versatile they are.

Here is the list of dies for this card, 

as you can see I cut 2 of the delicate design from The Dorsetshire Die cut pillow die, and placed the white flourish in the centre of each panel. Framed my image inside The Blandford die cut and decorated with the bow from The Chantilly die cut  The background is black square card stock.

Then I added a bit of sparkle with Vintage Gemstones around the lacework.

Vintage Card no 2

Here is the die cut list for this card

as you can see I cut 4 of the delicate flourish designs from The Dorsetshire Die cut with white card stock. I cut 2 Flowers from the Tied Together Saxony die and 2 flowers from the The Hanslope Die cut.  I framed my image inside The Blandford die cut and mounted this frame on a piece of rose card stock.

The background is black square card stock, covered with the

Damask pink paper from the Christmas Emporium Collection - Papers  

Then I cut Chirp Chirp die cut from the Secret Garden DIe and adhered it to the bottom on my vintage image with Couture Creations 3D dots.

Vintage Card no 3

Here is the die list for this card

as you can see I cut one of each of the above delicate flourish designs from Bow from - The Chantilly die  

Delicate panel & Flower from the Tied Together Saxony then cut in half.
