We’re inspired by the colours of Morroco, the bazaar’s, delicate tiled Mosque’s, luxurious rugs and colourful trinkets – and we’d love to share with you the fantastic creations of our Design Team using our latest Marrakech paper collection!

Don’t you just love how Jane has cut out her own sign shape for the background of her layout – it enhances the travel theme perfectly!

And check out these latest creations we’ve found in our Kaisercraft Gallery! Make sure you upload yours – we just might feature you on our next blog post!

April’s paper collection Grandiose collection is certainly a grande affair – with its luxurious colours in chocolate browns, ruby reds and velvety creams designed in stunning geometric shapes – this collection will be sure to inspire you!

Our design team has wowed us yet again – Rachelle Minett created a fantastic double layout:

Rachelle Minett - The first time using chopsticks

We love how she has distressed her papers to add to the aged feel and also created her own embellishments – just check out those cute chopsticks!

We love Jaimee Voight’s album – she has used the flourish front cover to her full advantage by creating a ‘gilted’ look using bronze ink.

“In my garden there is a large place for sentiment.  My garden of flowers is also my garden of thoughts and dreams.  The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers, and the dreams are as beautiful.” Abram L. Urban

Around the Garden path we go…..how gorgeous is the Garden Arabesque paper?

We love what our Design Team has come up with….

Jaimee Voight - Grandmother layout

Jane Jones - My mother

Rachelle Minett - Elepant layout

How gorgeous is Rachelle’s layout? We love how she has framed the layout using a few random stitches using black thread, and cut the papers in strips like ribbon! Gorgeous!

Jane Jones - Simply the best card

Finish off a card with peals and ribbon – perfection!

Jaimee Voight - Afternoon tea invite & card

Why not make adorable invitations and cards with your leftover scraps?

Happy Monday!
