Kaisercraft Secret Admirer


For the next few days I am going to post cards using Kaisercraft Secret Admirer 6x6 pad and Grab a Sketch designs. This is sketch 15.
 
I matted this card with pink paper from the pad and layered two matching paper strips on top. I then added a small rectangle using the same pink paper as the mat. I used a doily and a die cut from the pad. The greeting is a Little Bitty Banners stamp from Stampin Up. I added a vivid green bow and pink Prima paper.
 
Thank you for sharing!

Tim Holtz Menagerie 2

Both cards use Tim Holtz Menagerie 8 x8 pad.
 
I matted the Kaisercraft cardstock card with two different papers from the pad and fussy cut an image to lay on top. To that I added some fussy cut transport images, a piece of a postmarked paper, a stamp and red parcel post strip. I stamped the happy Birthday with Tim Hotlz stamps.


 
 This card is made with Stampin Up brown cardstock. I cut two different paper strips from the pad and punched them with a Martha Stewart lace punch. I added the photos form a page of vintage photos which are all rounded at the corners at the top. I also rounded the two top corners of the card. I created a memories word using Prima alphabet sheets and stamped the greeting on some matching paper. Three rhinestones finish the card.

Thank you for sharing!

Tim Holtz Menagerie

I used a Kaisercraft craft card for this creation. I matted it with paper from a 8x8 pad of Tim Holtz Menagerie which I distressed and sponged inked with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink. Onto that I layered fussy cut flowers from another page and tucked some fussy cut advertisements from another page behind that. I layered a ruler image from another paper across the bottom.
 
Thank you for sharing!

creating an asian type style

The card is a premade Kaisercraft gold one given in a card making class. I cut a strip of cheery blossom paper ( the paper doesn't have a name on it and I can't remember what it was cladded as bought ages ago) to layer through the middle. I die cut the scalloped circle out of a different paper from the same collection. To this I added an origami paper created rosette. This card doesn't need further embellishments as the colours are rich enough.
 
Thank you for sharing!

Kaisercraft Velvet Crush 2

These cards all are using Kaisercraft Velvet Crush and matching cardstock leftovers from a card making class at Paper Flourish.


I used American Craft cardstock (from Spotlight) for the card base. I matted that with two different papers of this collection and then foam mounted a section of a card front from a 12x 12 paper over a punched black cardstock strip. I then layered a black ribbon across the top layer and a black ribbon bow placed on the side. I used butterflies fussy cut from Kaisercraft Enchanted Garden collection which reflect the greenery on the card front. I used a freebie stamp and some purple rhinestones to finish.


 
Again I used American Crafts cardstock for the base and layered some black cardstock and two contrasting papers on top, all of which I rounded the top corners of to reflect the swirl on the foam mounted image fussy cut from a card front from a 12 x12 paper of card fronts. I rounded the corners of 3 side s of the base cardstock as well. I created a flower from 3 smaller ones and a purple rhinestone and punched the leaves from the same paper as the middle strip.
 
 
 This card uses a negative image layered on top of Stampin Up cardstock which makes the card. I used some hearts and swirls from  a sticker sheet and die cut the butterfly from the collection using a freebie die. The sentiment stamp is also a freebie. Some small purple pearls, a ribbon border and three bows finish this card. Thank you for sharing!

green and purple

Again I used Stampin Up light green cardstock for the card. I cased an idea that Helen ( bloglink here on this page) taught us in class for the stars on the side using Spellbinders dies. I used the purple and green cardstock left over from another class ( same for yesterday). I used a Kaisercraft stamp for the greeting and some purple rhinestones for a bit of bling.
