Are you looking for some inspiration? Have you lost your mojo? Then look no further! Each month our talented Design Team come up with a sketch and interpret it as they wish…. Here’s this months:

Jaimee Voight

Lisa Hallet

Alison Hannah

And finally, we love how Mel has turned the sketch on the side to create her layout using our fabulous Spirograph paper collection:

Melissa Kennedy

So go on – we dare you – create a layout based on this sketch and upload it to the Kaisercraft April Simple Plan sketch gallery by April 30 to win a Garden Arabesque paper collection kit!!

On another note, for those who didn’t attend our Good Friday Appeal Scrap N’ Chat at our Kaisercraft Outlet.

We raised a fantastic, $950 (AUS) to go towards the Good Friday Appeal!

With over 80 people attending, fun scrapping, a raffle and a huge ‘Guess the easter eggs’ jar – all who attended had an awesome time!

We thought we’d also mention, our in house scrapper, Mel Kennedy guessed the eggs in the jar yet again this year (for those who were wondering…there were 288!!) We think she might have a spy camera set up around the offices at Easter time each year so she can feed her chocaholic instincts!

This month, our new products are all about autumn colours, warm embellishments and delicate, layered paper designs.  Make sure you check out our latest paper collections; Grandiose, Marrakech and Garden Arabesque, and also our latest addition to our embellishment range – Fozz Fonts, and our newest adhesive solution, clear Glue Dots – which are available in  6mm, 9mm and 12mm sizes!

Don’t forget our popular MDF albums – this month featuring decorative covers and plain inside pages – they’re perfect for any occassion.

Be inspired by the colours of Morocco and intricate geometric tile shapes, with our new Marrakech paper collection,

Or bring the warmth back into your life, with the Grandiose Paper Collection. With its warm hues in brown, cream and maroon, I’m sure you’ll find the perfect photo to match!

Lastly, check out our Garden Arabesque Paper Collection – featuring delicate designs in purple, pale green and cream, this collection will have you whipping up some scones and a cup of tea for your afternoon tea in your georgeous blooming garden.

Have you managed to get your hands onto any of our new products yet? If so, send an email with your creation to designteam@kaisercraft.com.au with April Product in the subject line and we might just pop it up on the blog!

Yep, here at the Kaisercraft offices we’ve got around 144  Design Team Application emails sitting in our inbox!!! So sit, back and please wait patiently – we’re sorting, categorising, antagonising over these entries – oh my they’re awesome!!

I just want to inform you about a bit of housekeeping, those who sent in entries early may have received a confirmation email, however il – due to the high number of entries and the long weekend here in Australia we have been unable to reply to individual emails during the last 5-6 days. We also were notified from a few of you that were receiving email bouncebacks – our server went down sometime Friday and would have resulted in bouncebacks of some emails.

If you have any questions, please don’t hestitate to ask. We will be going through applications, printing them off and analysing them over the next couple of weeks.

DT winners will be announced towards the end of April. Thanks for your patience and good luck!

The countdown begins….

Only two days to go (for Australian’s) till Kaisercraft close their Design Team application call out…. We’ve been receiving tons in the last few days, and boy-oh-boy are these applications amazing or what!! Keep up the great work!

Best of luck!
