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.
Lots of close ups:
I always prime my Dusty Attic chipboard with heavy gesso and then usually apply Dusty Attic paint on top.
