Michelle Says:
“Me and circles … now grammatically speaking, that’s not quite right … it should be circles and I … whatever … but I just can’t help myself.  I keep going back to the circles! Remember back to one of my cards earlier this month using the Bonjour collection?  Well I loved the way it turned out, so I have played a little more but this time using the Timeless collection – the black and white papers – beautiful.
I love black and white and purple together.  A stunning colour combination.
A bottom layer of tulle/netting, a layer of punched strips, inked and pleated, a little hand sewing and then clustering of embellishments and voila!  And in amongst my embellishment cluster, a little purple netting recycled from a bouquet of flowers.”

“November” Card By Michelle Frisby

Materials Used:
PP854 Timeless collection paper pad, RS459 island lagoon flourish, F637 aubergine paper blooms, F630 iceberg paper blooms, RB927 rub ons, EM925 paper tags and shapes – raw
Extras : butterfly punch, lace edge punch, vine flourish, key punch, feathers, muslin, calendar, canvas tag, peg, embroidery thread, cardstock and Vibez. 

Back:

Michelle Says
“So working with those circles again …
What happens when you make two lots of circles, two lots of embellishment clusters and join them together?
You can have a card that looks something like the one above ! I’ve joined both circles together using a piece of cardstock folded in three, one piece adhered on either side of the circles and a flat piece to sit flat.  The peg at the top holds them closed.
I’ve used Vibez to colour the vine flourishes to tie in with the flowers, feathers and bling. I have yet to make an easel card, so perhaps I should try a ‘circle’ easel card next while I’m going round in circles!
Happy creating everyone.”

Good Morning Scrapper’s,

I hope you’ve all been having fun creating with the New Bonjour Collection!

Today Cassandra, Jodi, Leanne and Hilde have some gorgeous card creations using this stunning new paper collection!

“New Baby Card & Envelope” by Cassandra Bright

Products Used:
Bonjour Paper Collection, Sticker Sheet, (F640) Fairy Floss, (F633) Olive Paper Blooms, (F657) Fairy Floss, (F650) Olive, (F644) Coconut Mini Paper Blooms. Other: White Cardstock, Magnolia Stamp, Copic Markers, Magnolia Doo Hickey Penant Die, Jute, Crafter’s Companion Envelope maker.

Cassandra Says:
“I am like everyone else, I LOVE the Bojour Collection! Who doesn’t? Pinks, Green’s, Browns…. heaven in other words! And when I saw the reverse side of the (P737) Moriesse Paper with the white polka dots on a pink background, I immediately thought of a new baby girl card. So I chose my favourite Magnolia baby stamp, stamped it and got my Copics out!

And of course a card isn’t complete without a matching box envelope to fit those gorgeous Kaisercraft Paper Blooms in! We don’t want them squashed after all!? So I just took the same idea from the card and added it to the envelope. Detail is important and shows you have made the extra effort. I also used patterned paper from the same range to decorate the back of my cards and the inside.

Hello fellow Kaisercrafties. Today’s Tuesday Tip is by Genevieve Allen..enjoy!

“Would you like to make these stars? It’s so easy, just follow these steps.
You will need:”

“Trace around your star template and cut it out.”

- “With a ruler draw lines from point to point and corner to corner (like shown above). Score all the lines so it’s easier to bend.”

- “The dotted white lines will be bent away from you and the solid white lines bend towards you.”

“Once you have folded a along the lines, the star will be 3D! ”

“You can also stick another star of a smaller size on top of your pre made star to add contrast and interest!
Hopefully we will see more stars on all of your creations now!”

“Most of the time I don’t grab a small paperpad to create a layout. But now I thought this was just perfect! I divided the papers into 4 pieces. Added ink around the edges and placed them on my kraft cardstock. With a black pen I drew stitch marks..just like patchwork.
So with a small amount of paper you can create a really nice layout!!
