Scrap Shotz Crafternoon Layout

Carolyn back again with the super cute Crafternoon Collection by Kaisercraft. It has so many die cuts and phrases to highlight your creative endeavors such as knitting, needlepoint, painting and of course scrapbooking. I chose to highlight some pictures of the kids painting. I love the flowers on the papers so I decided to focus more on flower embellishments but could've added more painting related ones if I had wanted to.

I started with 2 pieces of the background paper. It actually only has the flowers on one piece so I fussy cut the flowers off the second piece and taped it to the first. Then I fussy cut more flowers from another paper to decorate my pictures. The background flowers are made with a Vicki Boutin stencil that came in a previous kit. I used the Gina K White Glitter Glitz Gel. I'm in love with this product! It is full of glitter but spreads so smoothly and doesn't make a huge mess like glitter and glue.

To finish it off, I splattered white gesso around the photos. Easy peasy!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Kaisercraft Crafternoon Layouts for Scrap Shotz

It's a good day to scrap about crafting! I'm here with two layouts featuring the Kaisercraft Crafternoon Collection. If you sew, paint or scrapbook - this collection has you covered.

The first layout was inspired by the January sketch at the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Facebook Sketchy Group. Here is the sketch:

I used all sorts of papers from the paper kit and embellished with the die cuts. I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out the title. The number stickers are in the paper kit. But my favourite parts of this collection are the curios and wooden flourishes. Here is a close-up of a curio and wooden flourish. I used Gina K Designs white glitz glitter gel to add some sparkle to the wood.

My second layout is for a picture of some wedding shower invitations I made a long time ago but never got to scrap.

I laid everything on the paper and marked where I wanted the circle. I sewed the circle with white thread in my sewing machine. I went around 4 or 5 times. It was great because it didn't have to be perfect - sewing in a circle can be tricky! I used one of every wood flourish and covered them with the Glitz Glitter Gel. The matting of the picture was a little tricky because I wanted to line up the stitching on the paper. I cut two triangles using the corner of the paper and lined them up so it would be hard to tell it wasn't just one piece of paper. This layout is a little bit less busy than I normally go for but I like the simple look of it.

 There you have it! Here's the link again if you want to stop by the shop to pick-up some Crafternoon goodness.

Kaisercraft Starry Night Layouts for Scrap Shotz

Happy New Year everyone! I'm here with 2 layouts using the December kit. I hope you found some time over the holidays to play with your kits. It is such a beauty!

For my first layout, I used the December sketch from the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Sketchy Facebook group.

The layout starts with a base of black and kraft Bazzill cardstock. I used a few 12 x 12 papers in the Kaisercraft Starry Night Collection. Lots of ephemera and wood veneer were used to decorate but the focus is definitely on the title. The chipboard is from the Southern Ridge Trading Company.

 

I used gold paint on the words, antlers and sleigh accents. The reindeers are brown, the sleigh is Coppenhagen Blue and the blades are silver.

Here is a close-up of the ephemera and wood veneers. I love the dimension and pops of colour they provide. 

For the second layout, I used the Christmas Ornaments Cut Shoppe cut file with my Silhouette Cameo. It's a free file in their shop so go pick it up! I just used half the file with white cardstock as the base.

The background is white cardstock under grey Bazzill cardstock. I used a mixture of 6 x 6 Starry Night papers and 12 x 12 papers to back the cut file. The title is from the Good Tidings Thickers. 

The layout was finished with a splattering of white gesso.

That's a wrap! Thanks for checking out my layouts!

Starry Night Christmas Cards for Scrap Shotz

Christmas is almost here so it's time to finish up those Christmas cards! The December kit is amazing! It is full of Kaisercraft - Starry Night products. So many fun embellishments from gold foil ephemera to twine to wood veneer. Let's take a look. I made 10 cards in the A2 size.

Card #1
I used a sketch from the October 2019 Page Maps collection. The Curio embellishments were the perfect fit. The papers are from the 6x6 paper pad. The paper pad has a bunch of punch out phrases and trimmings which came in very handy.

Card #2

I used a square punch to make the background from the 6x6 paper pad. The wood veneers fit into each sqaure and some gold paint topped them off. A piece of twine added a focal point.

Card #3

Twine, ephemera and some 6x6 papers.

Card #4

I fussy cut some gold foil flowers from a 6x6 paper. I used some ephemera to top it off. Those corner  pieces are actually the punch outs from one of the embellishments. I used some gold thread from my stash as well.

Card #5

Here I layered a bunch of 6x6 papers. The gold tag is so pretty and topped off with some twine and gold painted wood veneer. 

Card #6

Some more 6x6 papers, gold foil ephemera and twine. The gold dots are from the Thickers letter pack.

Card #7

I used some Stonehenge Bazzill cardstock and 6x6 papers. Wood veneer and gold thread finish it off. 

Card #8

This card uses some 6x6 papers and ephemera.

Card #9

This card uses Kraft Bazzill cardstock layered with 6x6 papers, ephemera and twine.

Card #10

My daughter really wanted to help with the cards so she helped with this one. She chose the papers. I suggested using a punch to back the tag in the center.

Thanks for taking a look! Have a wonderful holiday season!

No More Tape Layout for Sketches In Thyme

Here is my interpretation of the sketch this week over at Sketches In Thyme. I used the Carta Bella Christmas Delivery Collection and my Silhouette Cameo to cut the title and rikrak.

Here is the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you get a chance to play along for a wonderful Heidi Swapp paper pad.

Snow Much Fun for Scrap Shotz

Hello! I'm back again to show you another Carta Bella Snow Much Fun layout. I decided to use this fun background paper with the hills since my picture is about sledding. I broke the page up into sections so things didn't get too busy.

I cut the snowflakes out with my Silhouette Cameo using the Fallen Snow cut file from Just Nick. I layered some of the snowflakes and added stickers to the center. I also put some liquid glass spots on them to make them sparkly. The snowflakes are attached with glue dots so the centers stay put and the rest of each snowflake can pop off the page. 

The banner is made from the ephemera pack and backed with some patterned paper. 

Lastly, I finished it off with some chipboard and stickers.

Thanks for taking a look at my layout! Be sure to check out the shop for this cute collection.
