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…

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!
