Hello there everyone, hope you are all staying nice and warm, because its raining and windy here in Australia at the moment !! but, its a great time to paper craft…. today I created some cards for my stash to have ready to go, when I need one, and then I created a tag - just because I wanted to :)

It nice to create for oneself sometimes - trying new stuff and using up my stash of crafty things

Here is my tag

I love this sentiment -

REMEMBER THAT SOMETHING INCREDIBLY WONDERFUL IS ALWAYS POSSIBLE

This stamp is from an older stamp set from KAISERCRAFT.

so here is my tag.

Thanks for looking, have a good week

Let's get Cooking & Farewell

Hi there everyone, thanks for stopping by here today 

and unfortunately today I have my very last projects that I created 

for Kaisercraft. 

I want to thank Kaisercraft for everything and for their generosity. I have had the best time of my life and have loved every moment creating with such wonderful products, for the last 4 years. I have created many projects for the Kaisercraft blog, for CHA and for the Kaisercraft Workshop Magazines.

 A big hug and Thankyou to Kaisercraft and to everyone who helped me along the way. XXXX

So here are my projects, firstly I created a Recipe Book with the gorgeous rustic papers and images of the 

Kaisercraft new release papers "Bon Appetit". 

These papers are fabulous for all lovers of food. I think they have a very homegrown feel to them, I love the little cherry images and the rustic country kitchen and cooking textures on all the images in this paper collection.

For today I have 2 tutorials - one on how to create your very own Recipe Book with an art Book or notebook and the other Tutorial is how to create a paper apron. This paper apron is on the cover of my Recipe book but it would look great on cards as well. 

"Recipe Book" by Adriana Bolzon

I made the cute little apron with the Bon Appetit papers and decorated it with the little Wooden Flourishes Cooking FL577

TUTORIAL ON HOW TO CREATE THIS RECIPE BOOK JUST FOLLOW THE LINK to this 

How to Create a Recipe Book With " Bon Appetit "-Kaisercraft 

I also have a tutorial on the

creating the cute little Kitchen Apron for the cover or just perfect on a card.

Step by Step how to create a paper APRON 

Step 1. Cut card stock for the base of apron as shown below.

Step 2. Cut the top of your apron with Bon Appetit Papers slightly smaller than the base 10.5cm x 7.5cm. Cut a circle, smaller than the base also for the pocket of the apron.

Step 3. Adhere the base and top together, decorate with lace and strip of Pearls/Rhinestones, as shown below.

Step 4. Adhere pocket on top of apron with foam tape.

Attach with tape or glue some co-ordinating ribbon on top and side of apron.

Step 5. Decorate apron with stickers & wooden embellishments FL577 and 

die cut Utensils DD159.

Here is another apron that I have created for a card, 

I also added more of those cute little wooden embellishments FL577 Cooking

inside the pocket. How cute are these !!!

Another idea is to create a "Shopping List" notebook 

(this would make a great gift idea, I bought a very inexpensive notebook from a stationery store and decorated the front of it)

for my last project for today, I created more of these cute paperclip embellishments with the

BON APPETIT papers and Wooden Flourishes Cooking FL577.

These little paper clip embellishments are great for cards & books.

here are more cute little embellishments with the other paper collection this month "MADEMOISELLE" - a very vintage paper collection.

They look fabulous placed on cards and tags!!! here are some cards in which I have attached those cute paperclip embellishments on them :)

Cooking with love - Recipe Cards

Hi there everyone :) sharing my Kaisercraft project for today

Along with the Kaisercraft new release papers this month "Bon Appetit" 

are some fabulous new release Recipe Cards EM432

These recipe cards are fabulous for so many things

Today the design team members have created some projects on how to use these versatile cards…..

"Cooking is love made Edible" Idea with Adriana Bolzon

I love cooking and some of my friends do too. A great gift idea is to fill a jar with all the dry ingredients (measured correctly) and using one of the Recipe Cards EM432, write out the recipe, tie it to the jar. All the recipient has to do

is pour the contents into a mixing bowl, maybe they have to add some water,eggs or butter.

Mix and ready to go in oven.

This recipe is a favourite in our house "OATY ANZAC BISCUITS"

Great activity for children to enjoy in and makes for a great homemade gift.

Kaisercraft materials : Bon Appetit paper pad PP1000, Diecut DD159,  paper doily EM405, Honey blooms F628, Ruby FL636,Lace white EM926, Nesting scallops dies DD511, natural twin LDB1059. Other: ribbon, glue.

Thanks for looking

Cheers

Travel Journal - "Just Landed" Kaisercraft

Hello and welcome, Adriana here today, sharing my projects that I have created with the latest paper collections from Kaisercraft. 

"Just Landed" Paper collection



This new paper collection is a fabulous one for capturing the memories and journeys of travel. We visited Italy recently and so I wanted to capture and create a very inexpensive travel journal or memento - with many photos of our trip, I have called this book-  Journey to Italy. I still have to write in my journalling parts but I want to show you how you can create a very easy book with Large oversize Envelopes.  I will be writing my journalling notes neatly in the spaces of my journal book but for now you can see all the lovely photos of my travels.
Before I show you all my project here as just a few suggestions on how to journal or write while travelling.

While you are travelling and still fresh in your mind, you may think that it could be a bit silly to record details of your trip but sometimes details are forgotten. So, here are some tips and prompts to help you write about those details in a journal or notebook. I wrote my thoughts and details in a little pocket book diary and I will transfer those notes in this Travel Album that I have created, so that I can add my photos, tickets and like notes inside my journal album.

You may be stuck about what do I write about, well here are some pointers to help you get started.

* Write about your anticipation, what you are looking forward to the most about your trip.

* List the events of each day

*Record your costs  & purchases 
*The highs and lows of the day 
*Any major news events that happened during the trip 
*The weather 
*Unusual foods or new words you have learnt.

* Document the local people and record conversations 

*What you learnt from your sightseeing during the day.

JOURNAL / TRAVEL ALBUM 

Check out SNAPGUIDE on how to make this unique journal, using large over sized envelopes.

Cover all the front / back / and inside with "Just Landed" papers
collectables, stickers, stamping, let your creativity unfold. Add photos, words, tickets of the places you visited. 

Within each pocket I have created a fold out insert, which you could add more photos and journalling.

Fold out inserts for pockets

Please enjoy these photos of my journal book - Journey to Italy.
There are so many photo of this book, I thought I would showcase it here on
the  SNAPGUIDE, 

Until next time, big hugs XX

Cheers Adriana XX
