Pretty Lace & Pearls

Kaisercraft recently released some beautiful new products...pearl brads & lace packs. We've been a fan of Kaisercraft products since the very beginning when they first launched into the papercrafting industry and we are proud to be able to say that we carry the most extensive line of their products here on the island. It has been fun watching their collections grow. So without further adu....

Introducing:

Kaisercraft Pearl Brads



















These large, beautiful brads will add a touch of elegance to any project!! They make great centers for your flowers, or even use it as a clasp on a purse or tote bag!

Currently available in Pink, Pearl & Latte.

Kaisercraft Lace Packs
























Another great addition that I am personally excited about is their lace packs! I love the look of lace, and the best part is that you get them in 5 different sizes. They currently come in three colors, Black, White & Natural. Look at the beautiful flower that you can create with the lace, pairing it nicely with a pearl brad.

Hope this inspires you to try out some of the new products from Kaisercraft!

A Little Birdie Told Me...

Kaisercrafts' Hey Birdie collection is so cheerful and bright! Check out this card designed by Fuji Murakami. She used the DP, rub-on and acrylic stamp from the set.

The one thing..and there's many... I LOVE about Kaisercraft is how they coordinate each collection with matching double-sided quality DP, rub-ons and embellies. This makes it so easy to just create and not have to fuss over trying to match your paper with the right embellishments.

You can't tell in the photo, but behind the scallop circles is a small thin magnet hidden behind the dp, allowing the scallops to clasp to the card. I just love this added touch. And the magnet is so thin, you don't even know it's there.
























Here is what the card looks like opened. Plenty of room for a special note, a gift card, or just the right sentiment.

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! Wishing you all a safe & fun weekend with your friends and family.

We will be open on Sunday from 10am - 5pm and Monday from 10am - 5pm. Normal business hours will resume on Tuesday July 6th.

Here's a card Claudette made using Kaisercraft DP and Cheeky Mate from TGF.

I'm always in awe of her amazing coloring...the colors just pop off the paper! And I love that it's a non-traditional scallop circle card. I will have to try one of these soon.

We're working out some copic coloring classes with Claudette for this month. Please comment or email me to let me know if you'd be interested in attending a weekday class on copic coloring techniques for the month of July.

November Card Club Class

Sally was back teaching different paper crafting techniques in her monthly card club class @ The Cove! This month, we decorated a gift box that was perfect to hold your handmade cards, or a small gift. The gift box was covered with pretty designer paper, blinged out with Kaisercraft rhinestones & flowers, and we even made our own ribbon handle. Check out the photos from the class in the sidebar to the left.


Sally showed us how to use liquid adhesive & a brayer which was the best medium to evenly adhere the designer paper to the glossy finish on the box. We got to decorate with bling rhinestones - gotta love the bling. And we finished off the box by creating our own cute handles with the crop-a-dile, some paper flowers and ribbon. The transformation from plain white box to cute, adorable keepsake was fun and easy.



Next, we got to play with rub-ons and more bling while learning how to make a waterfall card. Who knew rub-ons could be so easy to use? I'm sure you've all had your own experiences with rub-ons...they don't come off when you want them to, sometimes you miss a spot and sometimes you rub off more than you wanted. Sally taught us some great tips & tricks that made them so easy and less intimidating. The Kaisercraft rub-ons came off so easily and with little effort. They really added a nice touch to our card.



Hope you can join us next month...we'll be altering CD's and turning them into gorgeous Thank You cards. I'll be posting a photo of the sample soon.

Prince & Princess

















We carry Kaiser Craft's Beyond the Page collection of naked wood albums, clocks, and organizational items that can be decorated and personalized to your hearts content. Our customer Fuji was looking for a gift to give a set of twins for their 1st Birthday. The theme for the party is Prince & Princess...so this crown mini album was just perfect. She brought me the finished project and it's gorgous!! I wanted to share how cute these turned out, I wish you could see it in person...all the details she embellished with..and the photos are soo cute.

















































Thanks Fuji for letting me share this beautiful album!

Join us on Saturday August 8 from 1:00 - 2:00 to create a vintage two page layout using the Kaisercraft Vagabond line. The paper line has an eye catching distressed wallpaper look and we will take it one step further by using two different distressing techniques to bring the page to life. The photo mats are sized to hold one 5x7 vertical photo and one 4x6 horizontal photo but can be easily adjusted for two of your favorite pictures.

Personable Gifts Under $20

Aloha my blogging friends! Sorry it's been about 1 week since my last post...things have been a little busy at the store. Thanks so much for spreading the word out about Pineapple Cove!!! The month has also been filled with excitement for me since I got to meet some of you in person...Linda from Simple & Sassy Creations; Teri from Big Ideas from a Little Girl; and Cami from Capture a Heart. If you guys get a chance, go check out their blogs because these girls are so talented and have wonderful projects to share!

For today's post, I wanted to showcase some of Kaisercraft products that are versatile and affordable. With gas prices continuing to climb, every little penny counts!! The other great thing about the Kaisercraft line is that they come in coordinating collections. You have 4 coordinating designer papers to choose from that are double sided, rub-ons and brads to match and a variety of bling rhinestones, pearls and flowers.



















I made this cute Table Tidy (aka Pencil Holder) that would make a great gift, all for under $20. The Table Tidy is part of Kaisercrafts "Beyond the Page" collection. It's like naked wood that you can paint or cover with DP and decorate. Comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and is so fun to play with. We have clocks, trash bins, wall hangings, coasters, & albums to name a few. Come by the store to see the whole collection of shapes...the great thing is that you can decorate to match any decor you have around the house. For this project, I decided to use one of my favorite color combo Pink & Brown. The DP is from Kaiser's Pretty in Pink collection. The flowers and rhinestones are also from Kaisercraft.

















I've never worked with acrylic paint before - so this was a fun project and it wasn't messy at all. I simply painted the wood with the acrylic paint, let it dry and then used Mod Podge to adhere the DP. Sealed the DP and paint with one last coat of Mod Podge, and then embellished with some ribbon and Kaiser Flowers and Rhinestones.

















This will be on display as a sample in the store. I'll be bringing in the acrylic paint and mod podge with my next order. But in the meantime, you can easily find the paint and mod podge at Wal-Mart or Ben Franklin.

Happy Crafting..until next time!

Quickie


I had to make a quick Thank You card today and thought I'd slip in another post...sometimes it's hard to find pattern paper that's fit for the boyz. There's so many "pretty" DP out there, the selection is often limited for these little rascals. We don't want to leave them out, so I have Kaisercrafts entire line of double-sided 12x12 paper. Each collection is themed and comes with 3 coordinating patterns..but since they are double-sided, it's like getting 6 coordinating patterns for half the price!



This card uses the "Shotgun" DP from the Lone Ranger collection..sentiment still needs to be added. Very simply and quick card to put together when you are in a rush.

I'll tell you more about the entire line of Kaisercraft products in another post...they have coordinating brads & rub-ons too. But I'll save that for another day.

Happy crafting! For those of you going to the expo tomorrow @ the Blaisdell, ENJOY!!
