Mixed media mini album class

I have been asked several times of giving mixed media classes this spring. This is one of the classes, given in Førde and in Kjøpsvik.

The album is a small mini album, but there will be different techniques used on the pages inside.  

The class includes materials, but the colours an materials may vary.

First DT box with July collections from Kaisercraft and July's creations

I wanted to show you the first Design Team box we got as a part of the Design Team for Kaisercraft. This box only shows the July collections. We also got a few larger DT boxes with August, September and October collections with flowers and embellishments. As these are not published yet, I will post a video of this in October, when all the collections are published.

Here are some of the creations I did with the July collections

"You make life beautiful" A vibrant card with the Fly Free collection

I decided to create a vibrant feminine card with the Fly free collection. I wanted to keep the main colours to white and pink, and add some butterflies. I have also used dies to create white die cuts to add some contrast in the card.

Sorry - a layout with the Botanica collection

It is summer in Norway at the moment, and I had just planted a few plants in some flower pots, and left them out on the terrace. After a short time, my little Jack Russell came in to see me with lots of soil around her mouth, so she was busted. I had to take a photo, and this inspired me to create a a layout. This layout is created as a DT contribution for Kaisercraft.

Mixed media layout with Kaisermists and ink

It is summer in Norway - so I decided to play with warm summer colours today.
After getting hold of all the Kaisermists and inks, I decided to really test them out. That is what I did on this layout.

All the papers are from Kaisercrafts new Botanica collection (P1880 Habitat, P1879 Botany,  P1878 Air, Gloss bulb) . I have also used some of the stamps from the Botanica collection. CS223. 

I have also used chipboard from Wild Orchid Craft and flowers from Prima, Wild Orchid crafts and Kaisercraft (Buttercream F629)

Scrap around the world Mood board:

The sprays and mists tested out on this project is KAISERmists Turquoise KM105, Inkpad Lagoon IP727 and Safron IP728.

I am entering these challenges:

• Scrap around the world - July mood board
• Scrappelyst - Grublis - Colours from inspirational photo

A Prima summer card

We have a new challenge over at Scandinavia Paper Fun. This time, we would like to see summer contributions.

.

I have used papers from the Forever Green collection from Prima. Flowers and embellishments are also from Prima. I have also used Tim Holtz's Dot Fade stencil and acrylic paint to create some effect on the background.

Masculine layout with Kaisercraft's Botanica Collection

Today, we are showing some masculine layout, made with Botanica collection from Kaisercraft. 

I have used the paper "Leaf P1873" as the background. This a wonderful paper with wood structure. I have used Kaisercraft mists and stamps to create effects on the background.

The metal embellishments are from some old 2. hand jewellery, that I got from an antiques fair in the UK.

Card with Kaisercraft's Botanica Collection

This is my first Design Team creation for Kaisercraft. When I first looked through the Botanica Collection, I thought it was an amazing collection. 

I have created a card with a pocket, with room for a packet of seeds at the back of the card. 

I have fussy cutted some of the apple blooms and stems of Botanica Pollen P1874. I stamped the leaves onto the back side of the Pollen paper, and fussy cutted the leaves. The leaves have been folded slightly to create more dimension. 

The flowers has been stamped onto white card stock with the Berry ink pad IP731. Then I have used the Petal Pink ink pad IP725 to colour the inside of the flowers. The flowers has been fussy cutted and shaped to create the small blooms. The other flowers has been coloured slightly with ink from the ink pads and a paint brush. for effect, I have sewn a few stiches with a sewing machine on the background card Botanica – Plant P1872. 

At the back of the card, I cut two panels out of the same paper, Botanica – Plant P1872. Then I folded the top paper diagonal, and glued it to the bottom card at the edges to the pocket.

The seed bag is made out of Vellum. I stamped onto the Vellum and created a small bag by sewing around to layers. I have used some card on the back of the Seed Bag for support and added a topper.
