a card this Thursday

Getting tired of standard sized cards? Make it fun and tryout different sizes or even shapes! The fun thing about making your own cards is having the freedom to be creative.

Today, I would like to share with you a simple card that I made using the Chapter One collection. Inspired by the vine-like design, I made a vertical card with a measurement of 3.5"x7".  With this size, I was able to portray movement in my card, butterflies flying upward. Try it out!

Card: Chapter One patterned papers Motivate (P670), Paper Pad (PP843), and Coloured Rubons (RB920). Others: butterfly punches and black cardstock.

Addicted to storage BTPs

I know we have shared a lot of projects showcasing the storage BTPs from Kaisercraft. With all these amazing items to help us organize our scrappy items, who can resist it? The great thing about these BTPs is you can personalized them using your favourite collections.

Here I have used the gorgeous Chanteuse collection with those beautiful paper blooms:

Materials:  Storage Unit (SB2105), Chanteuse patterned papers – Con Brio (P637), Soprano (P642), Tremolo (P639) Staccato (P638), Flourish Vine wood flourish (FL328),  Paper Blooms Dusty Pink (F641) and Sage (F632), Sage Acrylic Paint (KC025). Others: corrugated board and leaves.

To add texture, I decided to use a corrugated board that I took from a parcel box.

Chanteuse

Words cannot describe how beautiful this collections is. The designs and colours are just divine. This line is perfect for preserving very precious memories like this one of my dad and daughter walking hand in hand. I am not the type of scrapbooker who journals regularly, but this collection inspired me to tell the story of my dad’s love for his granddaughter. Check out the entire collection here!

 ‘Simply Beautiful’ layout by LG Belarmino
 

materials: Chanteuse Collection – Vivo patterned paper (P640), Staccato patterned paper (P638), Soprano patterned paper (P642), Marcato patterned paper (P643), Mini Journal Tags (JT616), Paper Pad (PP840) and Printed Chipboard (CB125); Alpha Stickers Tiny Latte (MA511) and Black (MA513)

Others: Paint and Kraft Cardstock

TIP: Do not be afraid to experiment. On this layout, I have used watercolour to add some paint drips on my background. Apply a good amount of watercolour at the top edge of the paper, hold the paper upright, to let the paint drip down the page. If your paper gets a little soggy, you can iron it on a  medium heat and adhere it to a cardstock.

Wooden Flourishes

Kaisercraft pioneered these fantastic wooden embellishments. They’re made of super thin plywood that you can use on your scapbook pages, off the page projects, cards and more! Leave them like they are or mist them, paint them, ink them and more!

Here’s just a few of our most popular designs:

Using wooden flourishes on layouts and other projects are starting to become a trend at the scrapbook industry. Who can resist these gorgeous embellishments? You can use it raw or add other mediums like paint or sand.

For some part of my wooden flourishes, I have added a dab of crackle paint to add texture to it. I even distressed the edges to enhance the its intricate details.
