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.

Cheeky Beauty Meets Bliss

What do you get when you pair Cheeky Beauty with Kaisercraft Utopia? Pure bliss.... I really enjoyed coloring Beauty, using the copic hair techniques I learned from Claudette. I notice with each practice, it gets easier and easier.

















I just love the colors in the Utopia collection. Each DP in the collection is double-sided, giving you double the options. Here I used the Bliss paper as my background. The opposite side had a pattern of purple flowers which I just cut out to use as an embelly on the card.

















I added a touch of elegance with the pearls and used my nesties to cut out the ovals.

















Stop by for a visit to see the card IRL. All products used can be found either in-store or online for your convenience.

Hope you are all having a great weekend!!

Moving Circle Card

Last week, I hosted the craft project for our "playdate" here at Pineapple Cove. We made a Moving Circle Card using some Smirk, Hero Arts and C.C. Design stamps. As always, good food, great company and lots of fun!

















Everyone's card turned out really cute!! Here's how the moving circle card works:
Simply grab the ribbon handle and turn clockwise to reveal the hidden sentiment.
















































We all made the same card, using different sentiments and stamps for the hidden message.
