December Cropaholic Kit - Using the stunning Kaisercraft Wandering Ivy........

Hello there.......

Tania joining you today with my last post for this year, 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.

More 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!

Having Fun with Mixed Media!!

Hi there! 

Tania here today to share a couple of Mixed Media Projects using some yummy Mixed Media Products I received in my DT kit!! How much fun is Mixed Media, getting all messy and trying out new ways to use awesome products.....LOVE IT!

The first project is a layout.  I started by adding the Kaiser Brick Template Pattern to the background page. Then came the fun part adding my colours :) firstly I randomly sprinkled some Lindy's Stamp Gang Tainted Love Teal Magical's over the page and activated it with some spritzes of water until I was happy. Next I used Colour Blast Lipstick Shimmer Cube and randomly applied it with a brush adding more water as I went to spread across the page! I then used the Kaiser Charcol Mist and randomly flicked it across the page until I was happy with it!

I then finished of the page by adding my papers and embellishments from my stash!  I also painted some of my flowers with the Lipstick Shimmer Cube, perfect way to change the colour if needed!

I used a chipboard Title from the Dusty Attic Mini Caption #2 and sprayed it with the Kaiser mist!

Products used available in the store.

Page before it was embellished!

Some close ups!

Next up is a mini canvas I created using more of the yummy products from my DT Kit.  I started this canvas by adding and layering up lots of ripped pieces of printed tissue paper!  Once I was happy with it and it was dry I used the Gears from this Kaiser 12 x 12 Template below and applied it to the top left and bottom right of the canvas.  I added the Lindy's stamp gang Magical's randomly until happy with the amount and activate with water, and did the same with the Lip Stick Colour Blast Shimmer Cube.  Next I used the Classic Cherry Enamel Accents also from my DT kit and freehand drew a circle with it onto the centre of the canvas! Flicked some Kaiser Charcol Mist onto the background and then finished of the canvas with a couple of scrap papers and flowers from my stash!

The canvas before it was embellished!

Close Up!

Well that's my shares for today......I hope I have inspired you all to drag out those mixed media products or jump over to the store here and get yourself a little stash, you won't be disappointed MIXED MEDIA is so much fun.... 

Until next time, thanks for stopping by, Tania xx

Be Your Own Kind of Beauitful

Hello,

Its Deena with you today.

I am sharing a trio of cards that I created using the Wild at Heart range from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

 

 

 

 

 

The first step of creating my cards was cutting three ATC (3 1/2 inch x 2 1/2 inch) size pieces of cardstock. Next I covered them with a thin layer of gesso, I didn't want to cover up the back just knock back the colour a little

 

To add some texture to the paper I used a stencil and crackle paste through the stencil.

 

 

To bring the crackle paste to life and add another layer of mixed media to my cards I used my magicals

 

Then using the dies cuts, sticker sheet and fussy cutting from the card stock I created my cards.

Let them Eat Cake

Hello

Its Deena here with you today

 

First I would like to share with you a layout I created using the My Mind's Eye paper collection Hooray.

 

 

This is a photo of my daughter's first birthday and back then she loved cake, can you tell by her face. She is now 9 and is not really a great lover of it now.

 

Here are some close ups for you

 

 

Please find a list of the products that can be found in the Shop.

My Mind's Eye - Hooray,

TCW - Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste.

 

 

For my next share I created an art journal page. The products from the Shop that I used are Chartreuse Iridescent Creative Medium,

Colour Blast Shimmer Pot Water Colours - Snow White and Royalty,

Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals Freaky Franken-Lime and Witch's Potion Purple,

Dusty Attic Stencil - Circuit,

Tim Holtz Collection Layering Stencil - Stripes

Archival Ink - Jet Black

 

 

Below are some close ups to show more of the details

 

This is actual what my original background looked like before I went to town on it.

 

The amount of shimmer that the creative medium creates is just gorgeous, I applied it quite thick in some places so that I could create the circle indents with a cardboard tube, which I them coloured with the Magical - Witch's Potion Purple.

 

 

This is my favourite spot on the whole of my journal page.
