The Craftz Boutique's Halloween Mini Kit is now online....

 This years Halloween themed Mini Kit... 'Steampunk Spells'!
I love the time of year when I can design a Halloween Kit! The colours and designs let you create something so different than your normal layout styles. This year our Halloween Kit features Graphic 45's 'Steampunk Spells' collection. Their papers have so many elements that you can cut out to build your layouts up and add detail and Graphic 45 is definitely one of my favourite company's for paper. You can create both of the layouts shown below using the kit but this is just our take on the kit so the kit is by no means limited to these layouts.

Layout using Websters Pages 'Modern Romance'

We have recently received two new collections by Websters Pages into our store - 'Modern Romance' and 'New Beginnings'. As soon as I saw the Modern Romance collection I knew I wanted to see what I could come up with using this set and this is the result which I am really pleased with :)
As someone who loves to use a lot of flowers and trims on my layouts I was suprised to find I only used papers to create this and a pearl pen!

 
For this layout I used the following products:
 
Websters Pages 'Modern Romance'
 
Bazzill Basics
 
Viva Decor
 
Thank you for looking!

June Monthly Kit Sneak Peek...

For Junes kit we have used the lovely 'Fairy Rhymes' collection by Prima Marketing. We have created two layouts using this months kit:



To alter the Blue Fern Chipboard clock in the kit I painted it first with a coat of 'Fresco Finish - French Roast' Paint. Once dry, I applied a very thin layer of 'Fresco Finish - Crackle Glaze'. After allowing this coat to dry I applied a layer of 'Fresco Finish - Vintage Lace' paint and the crackle effect begins to show within seconds (you can heat this with a heat tool to quicken up the process)



Find this online on June 1st :)

Remember Me Layout 2

The Kaiser 'Remember Me' Collection is still a firm favourite of mine at the moment and I created a second layout in 2 days from this set :)
 
This time round I used the Kaiser Craft 'Remember Me' Papers, collectables and Sticker Sheet as well as a Blue Fern Studios chipboard painted using Cosmic Shimmer Iridescent Watercolour Paint. You can see the products used below :)

Kaiser Craft 'Remember Me'

As soon as I unpacked the Kaiser Craft 'Remember Me' collection I loved it! The colours are beautiful. At first it seems best suited for Rememberance Day but there are quite a few family themed quotes on the papers and in the collectable die cut pack which made the collection seem so much more versatile.
 
This is the layout that I created using this collection...
 
 
The products used for this layout:
 
Kaiser Craft
 
 
Sakura
 
Dusty Attic
 
Viva Decor
 
I used the Inka Gold Paint (which comes as a creamy paint) and applied this to the Dusty Attic chipboard with my fingers. The picture does not do this paint justice - it has a lovely metallic finish and works perfectly with the gold in the Poppies Foil Paper.
