Kaisercraft June Challenge

I recently bought some of the June Daydreamer collection from Kaisercraft and decided to create a page for the Kaisercraft June challenge which is based on circles. I started out roughly sketching a few circles on my cardstock and then adding some Kaisermists. Using the pack of collectables and sticker sheet I added lots of circular elements to my page. I also used a Kaisercraft die Christmas Wreath and cut some of these from the black 'Stargaze' paper. I finished off using some Kaisercraft epoxy stickers and some older Kaisercraft Droplets

Scrap and Chat Retreat 2016

Hey all! A couple of weeks ago I attended one of the most fabulous retreats. Scrap and Chat Retreats. Held at 'The Country Place' in the Dandenong Ranges in Melbourne. The most fabulous arty, creatives gathered together. It's so amazing to gather with people that 'get' the scrappy/arty thing and understand where you're coming from...Look at all of us.

Here are some of the pages I created at the retreat, the rest you'll see a little later as they were for Design teams.

Love this one using different bits and pieces from various companies. Papers from Kaiserkraft, epoxy stickers from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and American Crafts. And there's also a heart on there from Charms Creations, which I sprayed pink.

The background on this page is using texture past and a Crafters Workshop Stencils and the colour is from watered down Distress Paints.

Next page is using the Paige Evans collection from Pink Paislee, love those thickers!

And the last page today is this magical rainbow one. Accentuated mainly with black and white papers and embellishments and black house paint a la Lisa Oxley. A New Years Eve photo. The rainbow effect was with Kaisermists and a smattering of water droplets to achieve a bleached effect.

thanks for stopping by, until next time.

Kaisercrafts' March Collection - Finders Keepers

The Finders Keepers by Kaisercraft released in March and is one of my all time faves I think. It was such a delight to scrap with and so far I have created four pages and a mini album. I couldn't stop!! All the pages below are up on the Kaisercraft blog HERE.

A mini album I whipped up sticking Captured Moments cards together concertina style with washi tape.

November Kaisercraft pages.

My latest Kaisercraft post went life yesterday. Posting it here as well.

Hello Kaisercraft fans. Leonie Neal-Dawson with you today sharing the first of many inspiration posts this month by our design team, using our newest collections, Sail Away and Provincial.

Sail Away Paper Collection

Sail Away is a great collection to scrap your beach themed photo’s, or any nautical inspired photo’s. It has wonderful earthy colours and textures of woodgrain and ropes plus bright pops of red and blue.

I chose to scrap some photo’s from a recent beach holiday on this first page.

Our Seaside Escape by Leonie Neal-Dawson

To begin with I used the gorgeous woodgrain of the Lighthouse and muted sky tones of the Ship papers as my base. I layered some of the papers from the 6 1/2″ paper pad behind my photo’s and and added one of our wooden frames and a paper doiliey.

My niece is member of the Royal Australian Navy so for this next page I drew heavily on the nautical anchor and compass images in the Sail Away papers and scrapped some pictures of her and my Son taken last Anzac Day.

Ahoy Matey by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Sticking with all blue on this page I began with some blue inks and stencilled the Anchor image from the the November release Template, Nautical Quarters. I also used the Anchors C6 Decorative Die and created a banner by threading the die cut anchors onto a length of cotton.

Provincial Paper Collection

Lastly today I have a scrapbook layout with the Provincial collection. I love the classic patterns in this range. Postmarks, pressed metal and lace. They all look great with the pretty shabby chic florals.

I Climbed The Tree To See The World by Leonie Neal-Dawson

On the background Hydrangea paper I used another of our new release templates the Floral Quarters and stencilled with some texture paste, added splashes of Lime Green KaiserMist and finished off with stamping from the Provincial clear stamp set.

Well thank you so much for stopping by the Kaisercraft blog today. Make sure you come back regularly this month for many more posts using these two gorgeous paper collections.

Happy Crafting, Leonie Neal-Dawson.

My August Projects For Kaisercraft

Hello I just wanted to share my August post that went up on the Kaisercraft blog a couple of days ago. So read on for projects with all the August collections including a video - how to. Cheers. :)
*********

Hello to all our Kaisercrafters!

Leonie Neal-Dawson here today with my share of the August collections. I have some projects to show you using each of the three lovely Augusts collections including a process video for one of the projects.

One of the reasons I love this range is for its selection of Black and White Prints. They give you the opportunity to add any other colour or colours you like, which is what I’ve done for the page below.

‘Love This Moment’ – by Leonie Neal-Dawson

I added green and mauve colours to my page that reflected some of the colours in the photograph. I did this with Kaisercraft ink pads with some stamping and watercolour techniques.

Other: Distress Ink | Texture Paste | Pilot Permaball Pen

My next page, also with the Touch Of Gold Collection celebrates and features some of the beautiful gold foil accents in this collection. We just happen to have given our new car the nickname ‘Goldie’ so what better papers to use to document this story.

‘Goldie’ – by Leonie Neal-Dawson

My journaling is hidden behind the papers layers on the tags from the ‘Touch Of Gold’ collection.

Other: Gold Paint | Glitter | Date Stamp

My next project is some Christmas Home Decor. I made one of these paper wreaths on a canvas last year for a friend and was really happy with the result so I decided to make another for my own home this year, using the Holy Night collection. There is a short video further down showing how I went about creating this Paper wreath.

‘Paper Wreath On Canvas’ by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Other: Gauze | Paint | Gel Medium | Sequins

Here’s the last page I have to share today and it uses the Time Machine collection with its on trend turquoise colours and I’ve added some peach tones with Kaisermists to my layout.

‘Proud’ – by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Other: Sequins | Brads | Clear Gesso

Well that’s it for me this month, I hope you’ve been inspired by my projects with the August collections.
