New Kaisercraft collection and tip!

Today my first post as a Design Team member is up at the Kaisercraft blog HERE ! How exciting to start my 12 month term officially with a section they call Tuesday Tip where we are asked to give some ideas on how to use some of the current collections. 

In early July there were 2 new collections released, Miss Match and Attitude! which are both available at Handmade By Suzanne right now over HERE . 

Today I have used the very pretty Miss Match collection to create a card and to show you a way to make the decorative border. 

This is the card that I made..

Kaisercraft Materials Used:
Miss Match 6 ½ “ Paper Pad (PP872) , Miss Match Paper Trash (P874), Lace Pack- Cream (EM927), Wooden Flourishes – Penny Farthing ( FL355) , Pearl Strip- White (PL501), Paper Blooms – Buttercream ( F629), Double Sided Tape (T315)

and here are the steps to create the border..

I used a page from the 6 1/2 ” paper pad from Miss Match and a 1.5″ scalloped edge punch.

I then punched a number of circles out of the paper…

..and cut them in half.

I then folded ” Trash” paper in half and using a circle template, cut a double layered circle leaving one area uncut to create a flap.

Next, I opened the card and placed Kaisercraft’s 2 way tape on the edge of both sides and begun sticking the scalloped circles and overlapped them to create a layered effect.

After this, I used one more paper from the 6 1/2 ” paper pad to cut 2 circles and cover the inside of the cards so it looks neater.

I then turned the card over and to cover the top area I used some lace which I made into a bow…

Hope you found something useful here today :) Next week is my week on the Kaisercraft blog where along with a couple of the other Design Team members I will show you the way I created layouts, cards and Off The Page projects with Miss Match and Attitude.

Bye for now :)
