...Product Spotlight - Kaiser La Di Da...

Hi Girls,

Jen here - today I am sharing two layouts I just did using the brand new Kaiser La Di Da range - I seriously LOVE this range - so great for scrapping girls (and you know I pretty much scrap only girls LOL) Really bright and colourful and super cute....

This one wasn't as hard it looks - the flowered section was cut from a border along the bottom of a pattern paper that I simply cut around. I backed the flowers, clouds etc with foam tape to give them dimension and as it was a cute layout, I went about crazy with the rhinestones and pearls :)

Products Used:

• La Di Da Hop
• La Di Da Skip
• La Di Da Die-cut Elements
• La Di Da Alpha Stickers
• Kaiser Rhinestones and Pearls
• Purple cardstock
• Dymo Labeller

  
I have had this photo sitting in my pile for a few months now, just waiting for inspiration to strike - I wanted the layout to be bright but still really girly, the La Di Da range was perfect. I cut the bird and the flower from La Di Da Skip and backed them with foam tape, with a border punch and tiny bow button the layout turned out exactly how I wanted it to!

Products Used:

• La Di Da Skip
• La Di Da Hop
• la Di Da Sing
• La Di Da Die-cut Elements
• La Di Da Alpha Stickers
• Kaiser Rhinestones and Pearls
• Thread, button
• Dymo Labeller

 Can't wait to scrap some more layouts with this awesome range - I really think Kaiser has upped the bar!

Some of the La Di Da products sold out at Shop and Crop in record time, but will be back in stock next week. You can order them online now HERE and your order will be posted to you next week.

Product Focus - Basic Grey

Hi everyone...Jen here!

Today I want to share a little project I made over the weekend using the new Basic Grey line "Origins" and the limited edition mini stamps sets - I picked out four from the set of twelve mini sets - such great value with so many different uses and themes - check them out Here.

SO, my idea was to create a mini notecard set - I plan to use mine as a little surprise gift for someone special - a bundle of 12 little cards with different sentiments that can be filled in and added to gifts or just because.

I began with four pattern papers and a A4 piece of white card.

I cut all the notecard first - trimmed to 10cm w x 15cm h (4" x 6")and folded in half to create the crease along to top. - three from each sheet of pattern paper - go Here to find your papers.

I then began simply playing with the stamp sets (including a four hour hunt when I misplaced one little set - which ended up being attached to the bottom of a supply box LOL).

Using a clear arcylic block and versa colour ink I stamped my sentiments and elements onto the white card or offcuts of pattern paper. Then adhered them to the fronts of the mini cards.

I embellished the cards with Kaiser rhinestones and pearls (love the bling!) plus a few puched out scalloped circle (which is always fun).

Finally to store all the cards and present them to my friend, I trimmed a piece of pattern paper to 14.5 cm w x 24.5cm h (5.8" x 9.6") and folded it in half, next I trimmed two insert pieces to 14.5 cm w x 12cm h (5.8" x 4.8") and punched a decorative border along one edge of each piece - folded this over at one end to around 1" and adhered the outer three sides with thin double-sided tape to the inside of the folder.

I decorated the front with a sentiment and some flower stamps before punching  a hole through the bottom of both sides of the folder and tied the folder closed with ribbon.

I slipped six little notecards into each side of the folder - now my friend can simply open it and find a card to suit the occasion.

I plan to make these for my girls Teachers for Mother's day this year, and maybe a few for the Mother's day stall - they are great way to up scraps left over from projects or simply to play with new papers you've just added to your stash!!

Jen :)
