Recipe Box from Kaiser

As soon as I saw this Kaiser recipe box I wanted it, I have so many scraps of paper with food creations that desperately needed organising, this looked perfect for the job. 

 I painted the box in antique cream paint from Kaiser then covered it in the script paper, again from Kaiser. I mat and layered the top with my nesties and made some matching flowers, the letters are a digital freebie,will post a link if I can trace them.

 I think the border die is a Cheery Lynn one which I threaded brown ribbon through. The saying is another free wordart.

Inside I have written out my favorite recipes and laminated them, I knew I would use the laminator one day!

Another area of my life organised.

magnolia card

I love this kaiser paper so much, it's from the Bonjour collection, the colours are so pretty. the stamp is a magnolia, coloured with a mix of copics and promarkers, the border is by spellbinders.

A close up soyou can see how pretty she is.

Birthday Boy

Well I have not blogged for ages but does it matter, does anyone actually read my posts? I think it's just a record for me to remember what cards I have made.

Anyway this card was for my Nephew, I used kaiser backing paper, embossed a strip of pearl brown paper with the swiss dots folder, then added the frame and greeting which are both digital freebies from Summer Driggs, I then added the stars to put his name on the card. A simple card but I kinda liked it.

Now that summer is nearly over I have no excuse I need to become productive with my crafting. I am making things but just not blogging so I have lots of finished items to photograph.

Happy new year

Happy New Year, I have been so busy that I haven't had time to play with all my new stuff! I have cleared my desk and am ready to go just need to decide where to start.  These are a couple of calenders I made as Christmas gifts, I used a kaiser coaster as the base and added the large scalloped nestie on the front and back as the base then I used the Cheery Lynn doily die. The lilac card has paper flowers that I bought but the pink card I made the flowers using the cuttlebug quilling dies.

Matching gift envelope from freebie paper

As promised (at last) the matching gift pouch using my free paper. I edged it with a martha stewart swirling lace border punch, added a birthday friend greeting and little brad both from Kaiser. I hope my friend likes the card and present, I have bought a die that fits neatly inside.

Another two

Here's the other colours I made

Kaiser Christmas decorations

I made these christmas decorations instead of cards for the special people in my life. I used four kaiser wooden coasters and joined them together with ribbons, covered them in pretty papers and used a nestabilities label set to add frames and the letters NOEL which were cut from boys will be boys die set.
On the reverse of each coaster there is a little rub on kaiser verse and I left one free to write a message. I added flowers from my stash and gem stones.
The boxes were made to match and decoated with a spellbinders fancy tags set.
I will post the other pictures tomorrow.

Flower card using my free paper

I used the paper I created to make this card, I used silver thread to stitch around the hexagons, then I layered a spellbinders die on top (can't remember the set it was from as I borrowed it!) followed by a nestie circle which was stamped in black with a kaiser friend stamp then I added a kaiser brad to the centre. I have made a little gift pouch to match will photograph that tomorrow.

Kaiser new home card

This is stamped with the Kaiser Loire Valley Collection and distress inks, I have stamped a second bird and bird house and raised them up with sticky pads, then I added some gem stones.

Tilda with butterflies

The papers are from a japanese origami paper pad, I used a martha stewart wide punch to make the frame, the magnolia stamp and butterflies are coloured with promarkers and added stickles in crystal. The felt florish and flowers are from kaiser. The sentiment is cut with nestabilities

Kaiser advent calendar

I bought this gorgeous advent calendar from kaiser craft, it's made from wood with little carboard boxes, first of all I painted it with kaiser cream paint then I used five different papers to cover the main box and little boxes, then I added flowers and pearls. The centre has the same paper, with lace edges, a sizzix flower and cuttlebug embossed butterflies and die cut flowers

Dad's birthday

 My Dad turns eighty in a couple of weeks so I had a play with some Kaiser products and came up with this card, it's a kaiser scrapbook paper, the border is kaiser fozz felt , the mat and layer is nestabilities label die, I have added metalic rub on's in gold to accent the sails, the brad is again from kaiser and the numbers are cut from a wizard alphabet set. I hope he likes it.
