'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

Image
#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

'A galactic thank you' - card

Image
#galaxy #mists #space Hi everyone! So the last month has been a very stressful and intense time (probably the most stressful in my uni life so far), but I have finally submitted my honours thesis! Yay! So I can get back to papercrafting guilt free! So I'm making some thank you cards for some of the people that got me through this stressful year, and given that they do astrophysics I thought I'd make them 'galaxy' themed! :) I used a 12 x 12 piece of white cardstock and sprayed it with different coloured iridescent mists (blue, teal, pink and purple) and let this dry for about 15 minutes. Then I mixed some white paint and white iridescent mist and flicked dots of this mixture onto the same piece of cardstock to look like stars! I let this cardstock sit for a few hours to make sure the white dots were dry. The next step was to prepare all the pieces needed for the card. I used black 4 1/8 x 6 inch notecards for the base of the cards. Next, I die-cut some stitc

'Summer travels' - double layout

Image
#havana nights #summer #challenge Hey everyone! So January is almost over... imagine how fast the rest of the year will go by?! Well, I intend to document the best moments of the year, which means more scrapbooking practice for me! So I thought this month's 'double layout' challenge by Kaisercraft was the best way to get started. I used the papers and collectables from Kaisercraft's 'Havana nights' collection. I tend to use darker, more neutral colour schemes for my projects, so I thought that using this collection would challenge me to use brighter colours. For the base of the layout, I used two sheets of white cardstock. Using the tiled pattern paper I cut out five segments, and then I adhered these segments to the two pieces of white cardstock as shown below. I used foam tape to adhere all of the photos to add dimension. I cut out some vellum squares using a stitched square die and adhered them behind the largest photo. I also cut from vellum f
