Hi there!

Has a family member, good friend or work colleague just had a baby? Or do you feel the need to add to your handmade card stash? Check out these fantastic ideas by our talented Designers!

Nikki Antonello, “Congratulations” card. Childs Play collection, rub ons, paper flowers. Kindy glitz, black pen.

Do you have any baby cards you’ve made lately? We’d love to see them!

A snap of our Kaisercraft stand coming together at the CHA (Craft & Hobbiy Association) show in Florida, USA. Be sure to check out our stand, #649.

Kudos to the team for getting the stand together in only two days and getting by without bits and pieces that might still be on a ship floating across the pacific!

Our design team sure has been busy! The girls have beens scrapping their little hearts out busy making luscious layouts, fun projects and Beyond-the-Page albums and cards like I’m just about to show you now.

Christine, Nikki and Tanya have joined forces to make some very different cards using the Loire Valley Collection.

Try these techniques to make quick and easy cards for your friends and family!

Christine, “Welcome Home” card. Use rubons to create a quick and easy card; teamed with patterned paper it’s a stunning card!

Tanya, “F is for Friendship”. So you have a bit more time to make a special card for a special friend? Team cut out patterned paper shapes, ribbon and embroidered badges to create an elegant card for your loved one!

Christine Rumley, “Hello”. Want to say hi to someone special? Add cut out patterned paper, clear stamps, rub ons and alpha stickers to create this cute card!

Nikki, “Thinking of you”. We absolutely adore Nikki’s curled flowers. Be sure to register for our newsletter, for September’s issue Nikki will be doing a feature on creating your own unique paper flowers!

Well done girls! We love your work!

This post is for all our American visitors out there! While you’re excited about today – the first day of CHA, we’re tucked up asleep in bed.

We’re super excited to be attending CHA this Summer. We’re showing off our 6 new collections, Pennyroyale, Duchess, Pina Colada, Offshore, Childs Play and Loire Valley. As well as this we’ve got new binder and zip lock storage solutions, chipboard alphas and exciting new embellishments and we’re also placing pre-orders for our October release (Q2) collections!!

If you’re attending the CHA trade show, be sure to visit Matt, Denise, Conrad, Mick, Tom and Mel on our stand (#649)!

Kaisercraft Fozz Felt is such a fun, versatile embellishment to have in your stash. It’s great to use on your layout as is, or why not try altering it?

There are a great variety of colours available but sometimes they just dont quite match up with what your working on.

Sam has found that painting the felt it is a very effective way of getting it to match with whatever you want. Or why not try using walnut ink for an aged effect, like Sam has done – even with the brighter colours it has a stunning result. Or why not try adding rhinestones to fozz felt; it’ll brighten up any layout and really bring it to life!

Looking for a different way to attach Fozz Felt to your projects? Why not try stapling it onto your page. You can even leave the backing on if you attach it this way, making it a very quick and easy embellishment to use.
