'Dare to travel' - photo layout

#kaisercraft #ubud dreams #challenge

Hey everyone, so here is a project I did before I had this blog up and running. The 'Ubud dreams' collection is just gorgeous, it was my favourite paper collection to date until 'Indigo skies' came along... Kaisercraft just keeps outdoing themselves!


I actually submitted this photo layout to Kaisercraft's January blog challenge (and won!) My photo taking skills have improved since then so I decided to share some of the details of the project. It was a bingo challenge and I picked the line 'stitching, confetti pocket, printed papers only, typed journaling'.


I thought it would be fun to make the doors 'open' on the layout to reveal a message. I used two 3 x 2 inch pieces of plastic and stuck one edge to the outer edge of the pocket rectangle, and the inner edges to the door. I added some rose gold brads for the door knobs. Check out my instagram to see it in action! 


I also used a few different mist colours on the edges of the layout to help tie the page together. Using some brown thread I did some stitching to make the heart (I realise the edges are not perfect... so to fix this I will use a stencil next time!)


I love making shaker cards (I am yet to share one on this blog) so I knew I needed to select the 'confetti pocket' on the bingo card! For the confetti pocket I used some round blue sequins and heart shaped rose gold sequins. I wanted it to match the rose gold brads and heart stitching I did. To add a bit more interest I used a photo overlay saying 'memories' in the confetti pocket. To seal the pocket I used sewed the edge using some white thread, it would have been neater to use a fuse tool to seal the pocket.


Kaisercraft materials: Ubud Dreams - 12 x 12 paper sekar, citra, kartika, mantra, Sticker Sheet, Collectables | Kaiser mists - White, Aqua & Denim | Photo overlay
Other materials: String, sequins and brads


This was my very first attempt at a photo layout so I am quite happy with how it turned out. I think this collection is perfect to document travel adventures. I will definitely be making more of these in the future. I'm studying for my university exams right now, so I thought this would be a good time to share some past projects. Hope this inspires you to create some photo layouts of your own, they are definitely a great addition to any scrapbook!

Explosion box (4 inch cube) - tutorial

#explosion box #tutorial Hey everyone, so in the past I've been asked by quite a few people about how I make my explosion boxes, especially the dimensions I use. I usually make explosion boxed with 3 layers, so that is the one I will be showing you step by step how to make. For the basic structure you will need: 12 x 12 inch cardstock (outer layer) 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 inch cardstock (middle layer) 11 x 11 inch cardstock (inner most layer) 7 1/16 x 7 1/16 inch cardstock (lid) 1) For each of the 'layers' you need to score at 4 inches from the edge of the cardstock. 2) Now you will need to cut off the four corner squares for each layer (note these cutouts should be 4 x 4 inches). Layers: Score along the solid lines; Cut along the dashed lines 3) For the lid you will need to score at 1 1/2 inches from the edge of the cardstock, the four corners squares should be 1 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches (note the centre square is 4 1/16 x 4 1/16 inches, this extra 1/16 of an in

'Anniversary flowers' - card

#HappyAnniversary #Love #Foil Hello paper crafters! Hope all is well. Mini hiatus on the blog posting, playing a bit of catch up on my crafts and studies. I thought I’d share a card that is quite simplistic and elegant. I think it’s perfect for an anniversary or wedding card. *** For this card, I used a white 5 1/4 inch square notecard for the base of the card. I cut a 5 1/8 inch square piece from some plain white cardstock to form the panel of the card. To give this card a bit of dimension, I decided that I should add a thin piece of foam to the back of the panel. I cut a foam piece down to a 5 inch square and adhered it to the back of the panel. Next, I cut a strip of grey cardstock with a width of 3/4 inches. Make sure the length of the strip of grey cardstock is at least 5 1/8 inches. I also a strip of vellum to a width of 1 1/2 inches with a length of 7 inches. To create the sentiment I stuck some double-sided tape on the back of some white cardstock and the

'To know you is to love you' - card

#NativeBreeze #FauxStitching #AustralianFlora Hi all, here's my first papercraft post for 2020. Yes, it's already pretty much 1/4 of the way through the year, but better late than never! So on a recent trip to Kaisercraft, I saw the 'Native Breeze' collection and thought I just had to have it; it's gorgeous! It really showcases the beauty of Australian flora! I only used one patterned paper sheet of the project, but I definitely will be scrapbooking with this paper (hopefully soon)! *** First I cut out an 8 1/4 x 5 7/8 inch piece of black cardstock, scored along the middle at 4 1/8 inches and folded it in half to create a notecard that is 5 7/8 x 4 1/8 inches. Then I cut a white piece of cardstock to 5 7/8 x 3 3/4 inches, this will become the front panel of the card. Finally cut out a piece of patterned paper to 5 7/8 x 2 inches. Next step; using dies. I used a die-cut a bird sitting on a branch from some white cardstock. Then I created some faux
