7 Cards from One 12x12 Sheet

Hi,

How gorgeous is this paper?  Basic Grey - Herbs and Honey - Radish....  I saw it and fell in love!

I gave myself a mini challenge - I wanted to see how many cards I could create (using decent size pieces of the paper!) -  if I made an easel card and a square card.  (I have seen where other crafters have created many more cards from one sheet - I ended up with 7)

This is how my sheet looked when cut into pieces...

Using cardstock in various co-ordinating colours, ribbon, brads and rhinestones - these are the cards I created.

My square card...

and my easel card...

Hope you enjoyed my 7 cards from one sheet - I think I will be giving myself this challenge again!!

How many cards have you made from one sheet?

Kaszazz - Carpe Diem notebook

Hello

Something a little different today.
This was the project in our latest media session.

 

I started with a plain white covered notebook. You could use a coloured or printed cover if you wished, but if too bright, simply paint first with gesso. On the front I dabbed mahogany paint through a diamond patterned stencil to the bottom right and top left. I then added green paint to the stencil, turned it over and applied to the left and central area. The dream and life messages were then stamped in Stazon ink. On the back cover I stamped the chain link, net and mesh images in archival ink.
Images and messages from Masterpiece, Carpe diem and Embrace possibilities stamp sets were then stamped with stazon, on to tissue paper and torn out. These images were then arranged over the covers and applied with matte medium (I used Mod Podge). The whole cover was then sealed with medium.

As the original covers were lightweight card, they tended to warp a little, so I made liners from card and included a pocket inside the front. I made a couple of stamped tags (to use a page markers, bookmarks etc.) and tucked them in. Twine was tied around the spine and a couple of charms added.

Back and front covers of opened book.

A slight change from Christmas, but would make a great small gift.

Till next time - Enjoy that crafting

Kaisercraft Collectables - Christmas Cards...

Hello,

Hope you are loving our Christmas Cards ???!!! You are? - that's great as we have many more to show you... and I mean many...  Which is fantastic for you - think of all that inspiration - well hopefully we are inspiring you!! Now, this set of cards - is very simply created using Kaisercraft Collectables.

I have once again, raided my stash for papers...

Every card is a white based card...

Most of them have a red cardstock layer underneath patterned paper...

The others are created with a single layer and a collectable... 

Some of them are even created using wrapping paper...

This set of photos shows some of the cards I created when I made a stack of 50, so I will have more to show you - made using collectables etc.

The Kaisercraft Collectable Packs I have used to make this stack of 50 (Yes I will show you the others - maybe in 3 parts as there are so many!!) are:

Merry and Bright

Christmas Carol and

Saint Nicholas

I have also used ribbon and rhinestones - of course!!

Have a great day,

Back again soon with more for you...
