'Finalist Entry Kaisercraft DT 2014/15'

Hi everyone,
I feel super excited to be chosen as a finalist in the Kaisercraft DT Call for 2014/15.  I received a wonderful package of yet to be released papers to create with. 
 
I created this layout using the 'Yuletide' collection.
 
 
 
 
 
And this using 'Yuletide', where I created some cool effects when I stamped Kaisercraft 'Crackle' into modelling paste, and sprayed it with mists once dry.
 
 
 
 
 
I created this Christmas wreath using some of the leftover papers.
 
 
 
The other gorgeous range I was given to create with is called Rustic Harmony. 
 
 
 
 
 
I used an number of mediums through Kaisercraft stencils as well as stamping with 'Diamonds'.
 
 
 
I just had to do a pretty layout with these papers.....
 
 
 
 
Thank you for visiting my blog today, I hope I've inspired you to go create something pretty.
Happy scrapping,
Tina

Creating for Couture Creations!

Hi everyone,
I'd like to share this layout I (literally) whipped up last night using Couture Creations The Van Roe collection dies and The Marriot embossing folders.
First of all I debossed my patterned paper using Peacock Fans.  I wanted the fan shape to stand out, rather than inwards, so placed my paper facing the back of the die.  Very simple but the embossed effect is different.


Here's an example of the pattern embossed (top) and debossed (bottom) on Core'dinations cardstock which I've sanded.

I've embossed using the Fubu folder and cut two Ornate rectangles, and three Beautiful Butterflies.


I've layered strips of paper, & the embossed papers, then smear Gesso, and stamped using these cool Couture stamps.  A few spritzes with various mists, attach the photo and butterflies, and it was done!


I used the "waste' from the Tied Together die to create these harlequin shapes!


 I smeared some black Glitzin' Glamour across the  mesh tape to highlight it.

The Van Roe Tags

Hi everyone!
Today I wanted to show a couple of tags I created using The Van Roe collection.  I love making tags because there's a multitude of uses for them, including as an embellishment on your layout, as a gift tag, bookmark, or pop it onto a card.  They are great to try new techniques out on too!
Cut Sew Jo paper to size and tear across the top.  
Die-cut Chandeliers and attach as shown.
 I applied Gel Medium through a stencil and once dry, sprayed with my favorite mists to add colour, shimmer and highlight the pattern.
Cut a dress form and ruler from the Sew Jo papers.

Die cut two of Simonetta, one from black cardstock, and one from Sew Jo paper, and layer as shown.  Diecut an Ornate Rectangle from Sew Jo paper, Emboss the decorative outer frame and reverse the inside section. Assemble elements on your tag.


I used the Tied Together die as a stencil and misted over it to create a lovely shimmery background. 
  I cut a Birdcage and Ornate Rectangle from Core'dinations cardstock, and embossed the center of the rectangle with Peacock Fans embossing folder.  
 I diecut Celebrate and a Beautiful Butterfly from Core'dinations Glitter Silk cardstock.  I highlighted the bird and outer frame with Silver Glitz'n Glamour, and tied some fibers at the top.
 Here's my two tags together!
