I have been a busy little bee creating all sorts of things with some great KaiserCraft products! I love so many of their paper collections and had alot of fun working with the matching embellishments and other goodies. I LOVE the fact that the papers are heavy weight, and double sided. SO versatile!!!
So what are my fave KaiserCraft embellishments? There are so many that it is hard to chose just one, but I would have to say the wood flourishes are just the best!!! They are all so intricate and laser cut from real wood, which makes them easy to paint or cover with patterned paper. For the layout below, called "Moroccan Princess", I used the Grandiose collection and wood flourishes straight out of the package "as-is". I added a few adhesive gems for a touch of bling to give the page that real "princess" look.

The next page was so quick and easy using the Cafe Culture collection! I added strips of patterned paper to a pale blue solid background and accented the page with a few rub-ons and walnut-stained chipboard alphas. This page took less than 30 minutes. Easy peasy!!!
Like how I "stitched" the gingham ribbon onto the page in the above photo? I did that without ever getting out the sewing machine! KaiserCraft has the best "faux stitching" rubons!!! The best part is that there is black, white and brown "stitches" in each package so you get a variety to play with!

So I want to change things up a bit and show you some color- LOTS of color!!! Lime, aqua, pink, purple, orange, yellow- all so yummy! And all mixed with black so the colors really POP! Makes me happy just looking at this Allsorts collection! Isn't this a fun and bright gift box? KaiserCraft has also done a fabulous job making flowers to match all their papers!!! You just have to see all the luscious colors- just a rainbow of floral fun! Flowers

How about a pretty card with a sweet sentiment using the Garden Arabesque collection? I normally struggle with pastels, so thankfully KaiserCrafts has a range of collections with perfectly matched colors in each that take the guess work out of it for me! I love that the collections have several papers that can work as a "base" for cards, pages and products as well as delightful patterns in swirls, plaids, florals and more! They all work together beautifully, so I don't have to search all over trying to find ones that "go" together.
See the large white flowers I used on the background? Those are KaiserCrafts fab wood flourishes! I painted them white this time, and sanded the edges slightly for a worn shabby/cottage look. I also backed them in a patterned paper with a delicate green/white floral print. I just love the combo with the bolder plaid in the background. And look at those flower centers! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the epoxy brads by KaiserCraft- all made to perfectly match the paper collections and other embellies! The variety is HUGE!!!

"Variety" is definitely what I think of when I look at KaiserCraft products! It never fails: Whatever your style, they have something for everyone! I love that I have literally thousands of photos to capture my kids' in every stage of their life, from the extraordinary events to the every day little moments. And KaiserCraft has the paper to match!!! And the pretty felt flowers on the page below? That is the FAB Fozz Felt! It comes in long, adhesive-backed strips. You can use it "as is", or cut it apart to use smaller pieces. I used it as a strip along the bottom of the photos, and cut smaller flowers from it to use at the top of the page. I also added some rhinestone bling to the felt, also from Kaisercraft, and available in every color of the rainbow! I used the Airy Fairy papers for this one.
Thanks for looking, and check back in a few days for more KaiserCraft goodness!!
later,
