Shop and Crop December DT Second Share

Hi there!

Today I wanted to share with you my last DT post for this year for Shop and Crop Scrapbooking, that's a scary thought and to think Christmas is only a few days away, that is exciting though :)  

So today I wanted to share with you some layouts I created for our December Cropaholic Kit using the stunning Kaisercraft "Wandering Ivy" Collection, I have to say this is my new favourite collection from Kaisercraft, just love the beautiful tones of Blue and Green, what do you think??  So much jam packed in this kit, I made these three layouts and still had so much left over.  

For the first layout the used the gorgeous specialty paper as my base, and played with some of the chipboard and the mist which is in the kit to create a little bit of extra texture on the background!

If you like fussy cutting this kit is just perfect two as there is lots of gorgeous flowers to cut from the patterned papers, which you can see here on the layout below.  

A few close ups......

I continued with the theme of adding a little mixed media to this layout too but just used the mist by itself this time.  I also added more fussy cut flowers and some of the gorgeous wood veneers that came in the kit.

Some close ups.....

For the last page I added lots of the silver Rhinestone strip bling - who doesn't love a bit of bling?  I added lots more fussy cut flowers to the page too as it just finishes them off perfectly!!

A couple more close ups......

Well that's all from me today.  Be sure to pop over to the store here and check out this amazing kit and all the awesome goodies that comes in it, this one comes with instructions to make all three layouts.  You can also check out all the other fabulous kits and products on offer, you won't be disappointed!

Anna's Craft Cupboard December DT Shares

Hi there!

Just stopping it today to share a few projects I did as part of my DT work fro December at Anna's Craft Cupboard.  This month I was extremely lucky to get to work with the stunning new "Wandering Ivy" collection from Kaisercraft! I created three layouts and one beyond the page project, but I have to say I could keep creating with this collection, definitely a new favourite <3

"Great Day"

"Smile Always"

"Everyday is a true Blessing with You"

Finally a Kaisercraft Artist Caddy I decorated....... I have include the little step by step tutorial that I made from the blog, for lists of products I used on the products you can check out each of my posts of the blog.......here.

To start I gave all the edges and the base piece a heavy coat of gesso. You can see in the second image below…

Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy Beyond the Page Artist Caddy

The next few steps was to cover the pieces in patterned papers.  I have used patterned papers from the paper pad as they were a perfect size for this project.  I loved the pieces with the blue rose patterns in the corners so I used them on the main parts of the caddy.  I stuck the entire piece to the wood and then used my craft knife to carefully cut around the edges.

This is both main pieces covered with papers.  I used the Kaiser File set to smooth all the edges.

I continued to cover all the other edge pieces with different coordinating papers.

The side pieces covered.

All pieces finished and ready for assembly.

I then assembled the caddy using 450 glue.  Once the glue was dry I sponged on some gesso around the edges.

Next up I fussy cut lots of flowers from the paper pad.

Now the fun part decorating my Artist Caddy.  I just love Kaisercraft’s Wooden Lucky Dip Packs, they are great to add extra embellishing to your projects, you can keep them raw, which is what I have done here or altered them in so many different ways……

Here all some close ups of the finished caddy, which I decorated with lots of fussy cut flowers, Kaisercraft mini and paper blooms, the wooden lucky dip flourishes as mentioned before and assorted pieces from the coordinating sticker sheet! 

Here are some close ups of the finished Kaisercraft Artist Caddy…….

Well that's all from me today.  If you are looking for some fabulous inspiration and love keeping up up to date with all the latest products be sure to check out the Anna's Craft Cupboard blog...
