Finalist Entry Kaisercraft DT 2014/15

Hello dear friends! I don't rememner when last time i was so excited and nervous at the same time:) I made the shortlist of Kaisercraft 2014/2015 finalists, of course its a bit early to celebrate, but i was so grateful and honoured to be one of the talented girls on this list. Kiasrcraft is such a beautiful, versatile brand that provides so many beautiful collections and coordinating embellishments, of course I put all my heart when working on my submissions to the final round.
We were sent 2 new ranges that are not released yet (how exciting is this!), already that fact made me so excited and then... when I opened the box it was a real Christmas:) and yes, you have guessed right one range is Christmas. Remember Kaisercraft had 3 (if i am not mistaken) Basecoat ranges? This is the Christmas one and it is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G. Kaisercraft brand is very popular in South Africa, i guess our wholesaler brings all the new collections in and you can find them in every single shop.

I pulled out the old photo of my first son, from the times when we were still living in Moscow and he had a real snow winter (which he now only dreams about:)
and then I added some natural elements to finish off these gorgeous papers...

Ку-ку, мои дорогие! Давно я не писала пост с таким волнением:) я прошла в отборочный тур по набору в команду Кайзеркрафта на 2014/2015 год. Всем, кто прошел в этот тур были отправленные 2 коллекции, которые надо сказать просто невероятные (они еще не опубликованы, к сожалению), но я вам обещаю, что они отличнейшие и я их привезу в свой магазин:))) Для первой я даже вытащила фотку Антошки со времен Москвы, за окном зима, как раз что-то около НГ... а сейчас Антон только мечтает о белой зиме (может в декабре ему удастся таки поиграться вдоль в снегу) Работ я сделала много, давайте смотреть. И зажмите за меян кулачки, пожалууууйста:)

Lets have a look?

I have cut the paper on the "wooden lines" and put some gauze in between to add some extra texture and snow effect. I must say my son loves this page and this makes me happy:)

 I used the cinnamon, the branches from the tree, some gauze, sisal...

 Love those red Kaisercraft sparklets, those pinecones that i fussy cut from the paper are SO gorgeous, look like real ones with lots of dimension.

 That little die cut is from other older range of Kaisercraft (also christmas one)

I also used the Kaisercraft products that I had in my stash before:

red sparklets, texture stamp (numbers), die cuts

******

Tropical Punch was the next range. Its perfct for so many occasions. I can see some vacation photos from the summer places, some even kitchen inspired themes. And here am I, abit pregnebt with my youngest one:) I love fussy cutting, so i cut lots of flowers, doilies from this range and added some white flowers that i just cut from some ribbon that i bought in a fabric shop (I call them my own "finding treasures").

Lots of layers, as i like:)

 Sparklets! Ok, after all i am a girl and i love  bling:) i bought quite a lot of Kaisercrafts sparklets when they were released.

 Some Kaiser's rub ons! Which I love! and not so mny manufactureres carry them, unfortunately.

And then I just couldn't resist and made some cards (both of them unusual shaped), i love making cards:)

Some sort of gingerbread house, i made this wreath from scratch and used lots of blings and pearls also from Kaisrcraft on it.

 Dimension:)

And my second card from the Tropical punch is an apple, "handmade with love":)

 Yes, sparklets again:)

 and to finish my post up I have prepared something sweet (no calories this time, I promise :) quite an easy to make altered project, that can be a nice compliment to a main gift.
I made the green flower on top of the cake from the Kaisercraft paper, using some dies and topped it up with some beads that imitate cherries:)

Thank you so much for checking my post and for always such encouragement comments, they mean a lot to me!

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

Guest Designer at Scrap and Music/ Страничка для блога Scrap and Music

Девочки, привет! В этом месяце у меня очень много позиций приглашенного дизайнера и я  тружусь аки пчелка:))) Сегодня покажу первую работу для относительно нового международного челлендж-блога  Scrap and Music. У блога интересная концепция. Каждое задание вам предлагается скетч и плюс песня, и слова которой вам нужно использовать в каком-то виде в своем заголовке. Для меня придумывание заголовка часто является проблемой))) а тут все получается легче) Советую заглянуть в блог хозяйки Ana Castro.

Hello dear friends! This month i have so many guest spots and one of them was the invitation from Ana Castro (very talented lady by the way) to guest design for her relatively new blog Scrap and Music. I really love the concept of a blog. You are provided with a sketch and you need to use any part of the lyrics as your title. For me, who often struggles with titles its a big help:)

So first is my LO

some close ups:

Я прониклась новым для меня способом работы с маской и чернилами от Ингвилд:)  (На фото сверху- розовым и красивый такой меловой эффект)

and here is a sketch itself:

песня и слова из нее есть в блоге)

and lyrics you can find here

**********

А еще совсем скоро в блоге будет проводиться набор в команду, кто хочет? Все-таки это международный блог, может есть желающие, вся информация будет уже скоро у них  в блоге, следите!)

Also Scrap and Music blog are now looking for addition for their Design Team. You can find all the details in the blog a bit later in July. Good luck to all who will apply.

По материалам:
девочки, все эти цветочки будут в магазине, надеюсь что скоро, но почта России становится все более загадочной))) так что ждем терпеливо:)

Хороших выходных!

Some projects and vidoe on it/ Несколкьо проектов и новое видео!

Девочки, привет! я сегодня к вам с проектами для моего кит-клуба C'est Magnifique.

Hello ladies!  I will share my last projects from July kit, i really had a great time playing with it.

For all three projects I used the main kit (which is still available!) and both embellishment and flower add on (you can see what is left here).

 First i want to show you this project It is an altered gift box. Good for someone special.

Вот такая коробочка получилась)

From my stash: beads and white embossing powder

And do you remember this LO? As promised, the video is below:)

И как обещала видео по этой страничке) смотрим внизу. Что-то youtube очень сжирает качество видео, не знаю что с этим делать(((

I prepare a video for you, its a short one with a music on background:) Hope you enjoy!

From my stash:
heart doily, gesso, modelling paste, mask, craft paint, pearl pen, microbeads, pearl dabber

***********

What i liked from this kit a lot- its versatality! You can easily make a boy-ish Layout. The qulaity of UHK papers is excellent, you can easily do some mix-media techniques on it, if you wish to.


И последняя) плоская почти, но за счет контраста мне нравится)

 From my stash: gauze, sisal, sea shells, dew drops, glimmer glaze java, tim holtz washi tape

Hope you enjoyed!

Всем хорошего дня) Завтра, наверное, еще прийду) Накопились работы.
