Writing Desk with KaiserCraft

Love, love, love the "Sweet Nothings" collection from Kaiser.  It's just so beautiful.  This is a writing desk that I made using the collection and also one of Kaiser's Beyond the Page project "The Writing Desk". 

Here's a picture of the box opened...I figured it was just a important to have it pretty on the inside as the out.

Last Minute Gift Idea

Are you needing a small little handmade gift for a teacher, hostess or friend? I have an easy gift that really doesn't take long at all to make but is so useful. A tissue box holder. You can pick up wooden tissue box covers at your local craft store for just a couple dollars and then the creative fun begins.

You can cover the box with just one sheet of designer paper...granted I used two but I just wanted the mixed up patterns and I love this collection for KaiserCraft  Then just add a few die cuts and and your done. Of course you can go more detailed if you want but I figured you didn't want to much going on as you needed to be able to get to the tissue.

I used the beautiful Blossom Branch die from Scrapping Cottage. I did ink up the center and some of the edges with a little distress ink and then cupped the flowers with my McGill paper tool to lift them up. Easy Peasy...glued them down with some strong glue and topped them off with "of course" pearls. I do love me some pearls, LOL.

Have a great rest of the week

Pure Beauty Layout

Two things I adore...My beautiful mother (who is photographed here) and this new line from KaiserCraft "Sweet Nothings"  It's just so beautiful. 

Some of my flowers are the layout are handmade and some of them are Kaiser's paperblooms that have been topped of with a pearl brad. 

I really liked the effect that the ripped paper gave this layout.  I did do it very controlled with an Xacto tool, quilling tool and some distress ink.  The vintage feel this techinque gives is just perfect.

I hope I've made you drool just a little over the Sweet Nothings collection...be sure to pick yours up today. 

I also used a Cheery Lynn die, Polynesian Sails.  With my handmade flowers this layout qualifies for Cheery Lynns Current Challenge: Handmade Flowers...
