“I love these little stamps as they are so versatile and absolutely gorgeous. I’ve made some small tags to add to a gift….with a little bit of inking, adding a few pearls or bling and some fake stitching, you can have a bunch off small tags in no time! Enjoy playing around with these little stamps!”

Making tags is a great way to use up any small pieces of paper you have left over.

Thanks a Bunch and Thinking of You – by Rona

Wouldn’t these look gorgeous on a handwrapped gift for a loved one? How do you gift wrap presents? Do you use traditional giftwrap or more unconvential items like newspaper or bakers twine?

Two very different layouts from the one paper collection!

Layout: “Live 4 Today” by Rona Bailey.

Here I have used a sheet of paper from the paper pad, to create a frame for my photograph, I have mounted the framed photo onto some corrugated cardboard that I have inked with Kaisercraft ink (aubergine). I cut flourishes to use as embellishments that were mounted with foam dots.

Products Used: Gypsy Sisters papers , Ella, Esmeralda, Nadia (reverse), Gypsy Sisters die cut elememts, Gypsy Sisters paper pad, sizzix die (Slim Letters), Kaisercraft ink (aubergine)

Layout: “Camping” by Elizna Parsons

Camping is most possibly not the first thing that comes to mind when you think of this range of papers….? But the teals worked very well with my photos…believe it or not… but you can even use this paper with photos of elephants and frogs!

The page layout was inspired by Donna Downey’s book “A photo-first approach to designing layouts”…I love the simplicity and style of scrapping portrayed in this book.

Products used: Paper -  Nadia,  Rub-ons {Black & White}, Die-cut Elements, Kaisercraft pearls

Today Elizna and I have made the memo block in Peachy Keen and Gypsy Sisters, both of these projects are quick and easy to make, Elizna has painted the edges of her memo block and I have cut thin strips of patterned paper and covered the edges.

“This is such a quick and easy project! A stunning little gift for a friend… First I painted the edges with brown Kaisercraft paint.
Once it was dry, it took  only a few minutes to complete the rest of the Memo Block.
I used paper from the Peachy Keen Collection.
I love flocked paper and used some from the 6×6 paper pad.
For the sides I used Kaisercraft Small Alphas to write the words “REMEMBER” & “NOTES”.
I stamped leaves with a clear stamp from the Peachy Keen collection {CS739} to add a little detail.”

Products Used: Peachy Keen papers, Peachy Keen stamp, Kaisercraft paint (brown) Kaisercraft Mini Alpha stickers, Memo Block

Memo Block and Pen Holder – Rona

I have used the Gypsy Sisters range to decorate the memo block and pen holder, I have cut thin strips of the paper to cover the edges of the items, I used some of the papers from the paper pad to embellish the projects, as the patterns are smaller than the 12 x 12 sheets of paper.

This week, our tip has come from Tanya:

After using your die cut elements why not try using the leftover die cut sheet to make some window cards?  All you need to do is cut a ‘window’ from your cardstock base to the size of the die cut sheet you are using, adhere the sheet over the top of the window and create your card around it!  This is a simple way of getting the most out of your supplies and it makes really effective cards too.

Hi everyone, this week Elizna and I (Rona) are here to inspire you, firstly Elizna has used the La Di Da range to create this gorgeous layout of her daughter, I love the sweet little butterflies that she has stamped and cut out to add to her layout.

I loved the glitter flowers from the pages in the Paper Pad. I cut them out and used them as “embellishment” on this page. I added “bling” to the flowers as flower centres. The little file tabs, scalloped edges and tags are all from the 6×6 inch paper pad. I love the paper pad for all the little add-ons… it makes it sooooooooo easy to embellish layouts! I have used the small Kaisercraft butterfly stamp for the gorgeous little butterflies on this page. I embellished their bodies with a few rhinestones.

Close up of the gorgeous butterflies:

Layout: Dream, Imagine, Believe – Elizna

This paper range just suited this “winged” photo of my daughter…so fairy tale like…The colours are soft and subtle and just perfect for this photo. I wanted to use both quotes printed on the Kaisercraft papers, and had to work around them to design this layout. The soft colours….the lace, stitching, flowers and little bird stamp added to the dreamy feel of this page.
