Charmed Cards & Crafts January '18 Kit Project Instructions

 

These are the instructions for using our January'18 Kit. The kit is based on the Rose Avenue collection by Kaisercraft.

We are showing you one layout and various cards, including one using the large card and envelope that comes with the kit. © Charmed Cards & Crafts 2018

 

   

 

 


 

 

 

 

Before you do anything else cut of all the bottom strips on all the patterned papers. All Kaisercraft papers have strips of words etc at the very bottom of the paper.

"Friends" Layout

Papers used: "Rose Window, "Patio", "Terrace", Plain cardstock: "Ballet", "Sprout". Embellishments from the kit.

  • ·        Prepare the picture. My picture, of my two daughters, measure 9cm x 9cm. I added a few borders in my imaging program, which took the size to 9.4cm x 9.4cm. It was then matted on a 10.4 x 10.4cm piece of "Sprout" cardstock. Ink edges and put aside.

  • ·        We are using the beautiful "Rose Window paper here, and I have matted in on the plain cardstock "Ballet". The cardstock is already larger on one side so just trim one side to leave a margin all around showing the Ballet cardstock. My margin measures 1/2cm.

  • ·        Cut a rectangle from "Terrace", measuring 12cm x 14.3cm. Ink edges then glue onto layout.

  • ·        Adhere a 16cm strip of the Butterfly ribbon from your kit below your mat.

  • ·        Cut out some flowers from the "Patio" pages and arrange some behind the mat and in the bottom right-hand corner on the page. Add a sentiment. Now you have half a pack of the Kaisercraft "Rose Avenue" collectable die-cuts in your kit, so contents will vary:

·        Take your Kaisercraft white doily and spray it with an ink spray (not included), if you don't have any you can ink your doily by dapping on an ink pad, or you can just leave it white. TIP: I put the whole doily on here but as it turns out I only showed a tiny bit, you can therefore half yours and save the other half for something else.

·        Add more floral cut out from the "Patio" sheet.

·        Add some die-cuts from your collectable pack. Remember that content will vary so you may not have exactly what I am using here. I also added a large rose from the collectables to the bottom right-hand corner, mounting it on foam pad for an elevated look.

·        Stick on the lower border from the "Patio" paper so it spans across the layout at the bottom of the mat.

 

 

·        Mount your picture on foam tape and add to layout.

·        Add more flowers and foliage as depicted below (both cut-outs and collectable die-cuts).

·        Add the two blue Prima Pearl Swirls as depicted.

·        Add pink pearls in five hanging strips as depicted.

·        Take your two butterflies from the die-cut pack and gently shape them as depicted. Add to layout.
