Kaisercraft’s Q3 blog party
Welcome to Kaisercraft’s Q3 Blog Party!
Update: Please bear with us as we’re having some technical issues here at Kaisercraft HQ! We’re unable to chat with you guys, but are still ‘working behind the scenes’ to get it all sorted! We’ve still got all the giveaways, challenges and inspiration to come! So please enjoy!!
We’re sorry to report our live chat function is having some technical difficulties – we’re sorry, but it’s too late to try and repair the problem as our web guys aren’t here to help! We hope to provide a better function for our next party!
Grab a cuppa, some chocolates, your scrapping gear and you’ll be set for a night of fun, games, giveaways and inspiration galore!
Tonight we’re featuring our new Q3 collections. For those who didn’t know, this quarter we’re releasing two collections per month.
Tonight we’ve got NEW layouts and projects using our January collections, Made with Love and Shaken not Stirred, and sneak peeks of collections coming out in February and March!
On top of this we’ve got some special challenges (with prizes), sketches, digital projects, an interview with the Kaisercraft graphic designer who designed Made with Love, a sneak peek at the Q3 magazine, hybrid scrapping, giveaways and a special Product Spotlight for our Storage Drawers!
And not to forget, we’ve got a live chat area for you to chat with other Kaisercrafties fans, our Design Team, Digital Creative Team and Alison and myself, Rainie.
Just click on the logo below to open up the live chat in another internet window!!

And now… for those of you who have been keeping tabs on the development of our digital scrapbooking products, we’ve got more than enough to keep you happy tonight, with sneak peeks at the last two January releases as well as never before seen layouts by members of the digital creative team!
You’ll also have the chance to chat with members of the creative team and ask questions of these amazing women, who leave us speechless with awe every time they show us their stuff.
Whether you like boys’ collections or girls’ ranges, vintage or modern designs, bright or muted colors, we have no doubt you’re going to love our next two January digi releases, School Days and Amour.
For your viewing pleasure, we’re pleased to offer a little sneak peek of two of our hottest digi collections yet.
We’re making it easier than ever to scrap your little one’s first day of school and other happy schoolyard memories with School Days, a collection of sketchy, hand-drawn doodles and cutesy school-related brushes that will take you back to your own school days.
The collection’s four papers, including busy images of music notes, books and sporting equipment and a co-ordinating page of notepaper, are combined with 12 transparencies that make mixing and matching to any school colour a total breeze.
And if you don’t have kids and can’t think of any way to use a school-themed collection, fear not – our final January digital collection, Amour, is as far removed from pencils and backpacks as possible!
Family photos, vintage pics and anything relating to romance or friendship will perfectly suit this wonderfully understated and floral-themed range. Amour boasts 12 papers in caramelly browns and refined pale pinks and greens, three brush sets with a heavy emphasis on stitching and elements ranging from buttons and frayed ribbons to felt flowers and co-ordinating tags and frames.
Amour will come just in time for Valentines Day and is just right for scrapping photos of your other half, family snaps from previous generations and elegant baby photos for new couples.
So sit back, relax and enjoy the rest of the night…we have plenty of fun coming up!

I just noticed the Memo Block, I LOVE that!!! They are so handy to have, and will make beautiful gifts once decorated!!!
Robyn, I had the same thing with the chat,
I think It may be everyone trying to get in at the same time perhaps?
Ditto with the chat – I think it is overloaded.
Alison, Your clock design is just stunning!
That is ok, we can chat here while we drool over the new Kaisercraft goodies!!! How pretty are they!!
I am loving the memo block too – very pretty and practical.

Hi Belinda
I have some coming, the Drawers, won’t they be handy for our desk tops!!
Hi girls. I can’t seem to get the chat thing happening either. Maybe some instructions would help?! B-)
yes aren’t the drawers great – I wonder what the dimensions are, I have not been able to find them anywhere.
Belinda, I think the Chat thingy is just over loaded, Too much excitment
I think they are having some problems with the chat area Belinda.
Christine C Im not sure If I am allowed to say this here or not, But I am a stockist of Kaisercraft and will have them this week, Maybe Monday of Next week
i reloaded my page and got it going, try refreshing girls
Thanks for that. Will have to keep trying. I love those storage drawers too. Have already started working out what is going where even though I haven’t got one yet!! Brads, Rhinestones….
You are Lucky Robyn! I have opened 3 new pages
Oh Shaz – how exciting.
OK now I have the chat open but can’t write in it – page looks a bit odd
Lol You sound like me!! I have one already mapped out for Alphabet letters and flowers, colour co ordinated
Christine, It did the same thing to me, I couldnt see the chat bar where we type, But I could see the chat and who was in the chat etc.
I think they may be having Server Error’s as I am having trouble navigating on the Kaisercraft site aswell.
Yeah I’ve got exactly the same thing happening with the chat too. Not fair!! Be nice to join in. Help Kaiser people!!!!
I need to give up
Get the kiddies out of the pool and head inside, before I get eaten by mozzies
I am having the same problem girls …
No luck with the chat – keep getting bumped out.
Look Up top Ladies, Kaisercraft Staff were having problems and technical difficulties, Not too worry KC, We understand these things happen
I know this sounds funny, But I wonder if the heat factor could ave anything to do with it aswell?
I know at times, I have had problems with out Wireless, and called up the provider, and they have said Heat/ Rain. I am not sure how, But they have said that to me before.
wouldnt be surprised..heat does funny things
Hi Ladies, we are having problems with the live chat – we’re so sorry! It appears we wont be able to fix it tonight. We hope this won’t put a dampener on your evening too much – we still have heaps more blog posts, giveaways and fun planned! Please bear with us, as we understand some things are also running slow! Again – so sorry!!
Hey everyone, Rainie from Kaisercraft here…we know our live chat is having some problems so we’re so sorry some of you are having difficulties participating. We can’t actually access the live chat either which we’re SO disappointed about, but we hope those of you that can will doing enough chatting for all of us!
We hope the rest of you will stick around and enjoy everything else we have to offer and instead of trying to use the poor overloaded live chat function, just talk on here – this is just as easy and it hopefully won’t overload our server any more and will give us another way to talk!
We’ll be checking back here every few minutes so if you have any questions or comments for Alison, Julia and I, just post them here…we look forward to hearing from more of you and urge you to enter our giveaways. Show us what you’re made of and help us inspire others with your work!
So enjoyed chatting with you ladies … it was great! Good luck with the comps etc.
Poor live chat it must have exhaustion from all the excitement
I keep getting bumped out of the chat too Christine
I did at least get to say hello though!
I was wondering if anyone can give me the dimensions for the drawers
Thanks
Thanks For updating us
We have been Yakking away waiting every ones arrival, I think we are still having fun
Christine, I don’t have them as yet, Nothing was mentioned in the order form either, I think they won’t be as big as the paper racks, But not much smaller, am I making sense? lol I am only guessing though.
Mine stock will hopefully be in Friday If not early next week, If you want to email me at craftcandy@bigpond.com I will let you know as soon as they arrive
thanks Shaz.
You are welcome
Melissa, I loved how you decorated the Drawers too! I would never throw those colours together, because I am Pink Bling queen lol, But I think they look great!!! Very eye catching!
Hi Christine C, the dimensions for the storage drawers are as follows: 330x120x240mm. Hope that helps!
I am off Ladies, You will have to have some fun without me
Daughter has a Dvd in her hand Giving me the nod, lol
