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.
