Hi, it’s Kerryn here today.  My year with Kaisercraft is coming to a close (sob) and I have had a project in mind for quite some time but I have not been able to make it happen yet.  Seeing as this is my final month I realised that I had to make it happen this time around.

I store all my ribbons in jars but some time ago I put them on jump rings with each ribbon attached to a bit of punched paper.  When the Cuckoo clock was released I had visions of turning it into ribbon storage.

Finally I have been able to make my vision come to life.

The beautiful soft colours of Pink Gelato were perfectly matched with my favourite distress inks and paint.  I had to include a healthy amount of flowers and of course some butterflies too.

Lots and lots of flowers were added to the fence.  Smatterings of pearls were placed amongst the flowers for some hidden gems of colour.

I used a bird cage behind the window to create a grill effect.

A little bit of gold kindyglitz brought my lamp to life!

A visit to the hardware store for some cup hooks and my ribbon storage was ready to go.

I am so happy that this project is complete and as well as a clock close by to my scrapping area, now I also have some pretty cool ribbon storage as well.

Hi Lesley here to start the week with some off the page goodness with Pink Gelato and the Trinket Box.

My daughter collects as many trinket boxes as she does trinkets so I wanted to create something that would be useful as well as gorgeous with this cool chest. She has recently shown a keen interest for sewing so I decided to make a sewing box for her. I am going to fill it up with some cotton, needles, scissors, pins and other sewing stuff for her. Actually now I have completed it, I am wondering about my chances of keeping it for myself as I really do need a handy place for my sewing bits and pieces! The soft and delicate Pink Gelato range was a gorgeous choice for this project.

I wanted to keep it simple but visually interesting so I created texture with my paper by wetting it, scrunching it up and flattening out again. I did this several times until I had the desired effect. When it was dry I ironed it to flatten it further. I love the texture this has given.

When I start a Beyond the Page project I always assemble it to give me an idea of how it goes together and to see which pieces need painting and which pieces I am going to cover in patterned paper.  For this project I decided not to paint the sides but to use a distress stain. This was quick and easy and dried quite quickly. For the wooden pieces I covered in the patterned paper I glued the wood to the paper and then cut it out. I found this the best way to get an exact fit. For the drawers I cut a strip of paper and then adhered it to the front of the drawers. I glazed over the patterned paper with Kaiser Gloss Vernish.

For the top of my chest I wanted to put lots and lots of buttons. I first used a piece of corrugated cardboard, ripped and inked as part of the base. Using dimensional magic I glued the buttons all over the top and on top of each other. I used extra dimensional magic over the lid where there were no buttons. It is important to leave about a 1cm strip at the back with no buttons so you can open your lid fully when it is dry and assembled! I also added some pearl brads and flowers. So pretty!

I sewed buttons to the front of the drawers and then added the quotes from the sticker sheet.

Hi, Nerrida here. I knew I wanted to make something out of the 3D frame I had, for my girls bedroom and the Glue Arts products turned out to be a real asset when it came to making such a 3-dimensional project.

I started with the Pro Glider, which gave a quick and secure run of adhesive to attach my backing board to the house wall, which I had made from cardstock, misting it with Mr Hueys Calico cream and Classic Calico, and over a chipboard brick wall template.

Next I used the pack of  Raisen’s to fasten my chipboard window to the wall.  A bit of bulk in one quick and easy step.

The U-Cut-It foam was perfect to add a lot of dimension with the Pink Gelato chipboard, because I could easily use 2 layers.

Then it was just a matter of using some more of the Raisen’s and the Extreme adhesive squares to add the remaining elements, being the chipboard tree, the bike, umbrella, flowers, the stickers and paper blooms. It really made the project come together quite quickly and it seems very secure.

Hi everyone! I have also had the chance to try Glue Arts products. And I made a card to share with you all.

Card “40” by Camilla Ekman: Paper Pad – Chapter One (PP843); Speciality acetate Theatre (PS151)

Other: butterfly punch, scalloped circle punch, flower, leaves, thickers

First I used the Glue Glider PRO to adhere the papers and I really liked how easy it was to load the cartridge.

Then, to create depth to my card I mounted the scalloped circles and the butterflies onto the card using the 3D adhesive foams. I really liked that you can cut as large or small pieces you need.

Finally, I adhered the flower and the leaves using the adhesive squares. Perfect type of adhesives for all flower lovers out there.
