Time to apply for the Kaisercraft Team again. It comes around quickly enough! This will be my third time applying to be on this amazing team. We received a lovely package from Kaisercraft to create with which features the beautiful Lilac Whisper Collection, due to be released in July. I wanted to make a Mini Album, but I didn’t have any bases to begin with. I went to K-mart looking for some sort of Mini Album and I found this clipboard. I have never made an album with a clipboard before and I couldn’t see any on Pinterest, so it was a bit of a risk. Especially as I only had one weekend to make my project.
I asked my Sister-in-Law for some of her wedding photos. I needed fresh material and something amazing. She came up with these. I love these photos of her getting ready on her special day. She made a beautiful bride.
I wanted to make a layered Clipboard Album. I had no pattern, so I improvised. Looking at the finished product I can see lots of room for improvement, but that is how it goes when you make something you have never made before. I wanted to make something a little different to what I normally make for the application.
I began with choosing the papers for the pages of the album.
I decorated all the pages first. For the back two pages I used some of the Kaisercraft Templates. I chose a full 12×12 template for this page because I wanted to make a diagonal line with the template.
My desk/craft room was a big crafty mess for the whole weekend as I worked my way through this project while Ben looked after the boys. A Mini Album takes lots of time to make.
I collected all the embellishments and Collectables on a plate so I could easily access them on my messy desk! My favourite part of making this album was designing the little clusters of embellishments.
This is what the finished product came out like:
Kaisercraft Products: PK563 Paper Pack | SS342 Sticker Sheet | CT885 Collectables | FL604 Flourish Pack – Bouquet | IP732 Orchid Ink Pad | IP726 Island Ink Pad | IP719 Black Ink Pad | KM120 Kaiser Mist – Wisteria | F643 Amethyst | F642 Paper Blooms – Misty | F631 Paper Blooms – Sea Breeze | F632 Paper Blooms – Sage | F626 Paper Blooms – Coconut | SB794 Pearls- Snow | SB700 Rhinestones – Silver | RS415 Sparklets – Princess | CS257 Background Stamp – Script | EM926 Lace – White | F659 Mini Paper Blooms – Misty | IT906 Template – Floral Lace | IT925 Templates – Intricate Tiles | DD312 Decorative Dies – Leaves | DD757 Decorative Die – large Flourishes | DD745 Decorative Dies – Fishing Net | DD523 Card Creations Dies – Scallop Card Edge | DD787 Decorative Dies – Mandela | EM433 Pearl String – Pearl | KC020 Kaiser Colour Paint – Coastal Blue | Other: Cheese Cloth | Purple Ribbon |
