New Products from Kaisercraft

We have lots of new products in the store from Kaisercraft including several new paper collections as well as additions to their "Beyond the Page" alterable kits.

Here's a look at some projects designed by Candi McFadden:

This miniature bookshelf was made using the La di da collection. The books are sold separately from the shelf, making for an endless array of possibilities.

Wouldn't this also be cute for baby? You could fill one book with pictures and milestones from 0-3 months, a second book with 4-6 months, etc.

One of my favorite parts of the Peachy Keen line is the embellishment pack. The pearl and fabric designs fit perfectly over the patterned paper, creating a stunning accent! There's also coordinating clear stamps and rub-ons available.

Gypsy Sisters features deep purples, pinks, and teals perfect for displaying everyday as well as heritage photos.

Shaken Not Stirred comes in bold and classy reds and blacks that also happen to coincide with many of our local school colors.

Kaisercraft makes memory making so easy, they even list coordinating Bazzill cardstock colors on their website. Just click on the links to the individual collections (above) to find out!

Floating Frame Project

This beautiful project, designed by Maureen Wilson, features photos, patterned papers, metal embellishments, and fabric.

This frame has four layers of glass. The first is a protective layer, the second has photos, the third has embellishments, and the fourth has fabric squares. This close up shot might give you a better idea:

To make one of your own, follow these simple steps:

1. If you want to make a grid like the one shown, cut all your photos, papers, and fabrics to 2 inch squares (or use a 2 inch punch).
   
2. Next remove the layers of glass from the frame.
   
3. Use a dry erase marker to draw a grid on one sheet of glass. Then layer a sheet of glass on top of it so it’s easy to get perfect placement for all your squares. Attach your photos with glue dots.
   
4. Repeat for each layer.
   
5. When you’re finished, wash the marker off and use that sheet for the top protective layer.
   

This floating frame makes an eye catching display and is a beautiful way to showcase your favorite photos.

New American Crafts!

We have received a huge shipment of American Crafts! Here is one of their newest collections, "Letterbox."

As always, American Crafts has quality cardstock-weight patterned papers with a coordinating solid on the back. There are also chipboard embellishments, brads and buttons, ribbon, alphabets, clear stamps, and more! Here's a sample of some of the products:











Here are a few layout ideas created by Kathy Davis:

This is such a fun way to use the chipboard frames!

The chipboard alphas are made to match, making title work a breeze.

Use rub-ons or stamps as a quick embellishment on your project.

Album of the Month

Mother Knows Best

It’s a mother’s job to give her children advice and direction. Whether it’s serious (“be a leader”) or silly (“check for toilet paper first“), kids should listen because Mother Knows Best. This album has more than a dozen journaling spots for you to leave advice. Or, fill out the album with the sound advice your mother gave you. Either way, it makes a great keepsake to pass on.

All the stamping has already been done for you, so all you need to do is assemble the pieces. Pick up a kit in our Rexburg store today! Limited quantities available.
