Hi everyone
Just letting you know that I have put up the Kaisercraft Q2 New Release up on the website Pre-Order. Expected arrival date for this stock is September 29th and it should ship out as soon as possible after that date.
There are 6 New Collections with 6 Papers each and of course lots of co-ordinating Embellishments such as Stickers, Die Cuts and Rub-ons.
New Products for each collection this quarter include Co-ordinating Sets of 2 Ink Pads, Embellishment Packs and 6x6 Specialty paper pad with lots of great special papers including flocked, foil and die-cut designs in each pack.
Did you all see Bev's great Step-by-Step Layout in this weekend's Newsletter?? Here is a copy of the information for you all to try your hand at creating this layout!!
Layout Created by Bev Watt
Products used:
Scrap Within Reach Afternoon Tea Collection - Teaberry Blend, Spiced Plum and Green Peony
Kaisercraft Self-Adhesive Rhinestones
Matching Ribbon approx 2.5cm x 32cm
Assortment of matching Green Tara Flower Petals
A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Script Word
Swirl/Flourish Rub-on or Stamp
Step-By Step Instructions:
Use the Teaberry Blend as your background paper.
From the spiced plum cut a piece 15cm x 23cm and stick it to your background in the vertical position 4.5cm from the bottom and 6.5cm from the right hand edge.
From the Green Peony cut a piece 26cm x 8.5cm and stick it in the horizontal position 8.5cm from the bottom and 3cm from the right hand edge.
Attach your 4x6 photo 12.5cm from the bottom and 6cm from the left hand edge.
Choose a pretty 2.5cm wide ribbon and cut a 32cm length and stick it across the page just below your photo.
Use a compass to lightly draw a circle with a 21cm diameter approx 2.5cm from left hand edge and 4cm from bottom of page.
Use Kaisercraft Rhinestones to embellish around your circle with a 1 cm spacing between each rhinestone. Rub out pencil line.
Choose an A2Z Scraplets Chipboard Script Word and colour it to suit your layout.
I pinched an idea from the lovely Ginny Fleet to colour the title by inking it in a pale colour at the top, a darker colour just below that and a darker colour at the bottom for a lovely graded colour effect ... you can use dimensional magic over the top if you want a glossy finish.
To finish off the layout apply some assorted Green Tara Flower Petals to the right side of the photo in a random stagger and add a rub-on spray or swirl behind the flowers if you wish.
Thanks everyone,
Bev
Hi everyone ... hope you are all well and getting lots of scrapping done!!
Sorry about the horrible neglect of our poor old blog lately. I can only blame myself (and a family trip away, a case of the flu or two and putting on a SWIG Scrapping Weekend in there too) but I am back now and hopefully on track again!!
OK So I am here to let you all know that we have had some new goodies arrive this week and more arriving in the next couple of weeks too!!
Firstly we have started a Pre-Order section on our site where you can see what goodies are coming in over the next few weeks and can order them to be shipped out as soon as they arrive.
Go to the Pre-Order Section of the Website
There are few categories already in there ready to have a look at now.
The Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses and Indian Summer Collections as well as the new Bling It On Rub-ons are all due to arrive on Monday (14th Sept) morning and any pre-orders in will be shipped out that day.
We also have 4 new Collection from Bo Bunny available for Pre-order and I have been told that they are due to be shipped out to us on the 18th September so we should have it here pretty soon after that!!
We have had a lot of restocks arrive in the last fortnight since our SWIG Scrapping Weekend, so keep an eye on the What's New section of the site as I will update it with the things that have arrived back in this weekend.
Thanks everyone and happy scrapping!!
