Embossing Folders 4 ways, Kaszazz Product Spotlight with Tania B

Gel plate card

I have realised that my blog is a little unloved of late, and that makes me sad. I have been so busy with classes and work, and well just creating, that I have forgotten to document a little bit!!
Dianne and I taught at our yearly Kaszazz Retreat in March, and this was one of the projects I taught. It is card 2 in a set, made with a Gel Plate background and lots of stamping and stenciling layers.
I just love this type of creating!!!

Blind Scrapping challenge

Hi there, this month, Kraft Plus hosted a Blind Scrap challenge. I love these challenges! Basically, you are given a bunch of materials to use, some instructions, but no image of what the layout should look like. Once everyone has completed their pages, we all upload them and check out the variety of interpretations! I even got my friend Ange to join in!

Here's my finished product:

I used the Crate Paper Hello range of papers and nearly all of my embellishments are fussy cut from the elements in the papers. Mainly Kaszazz Stamps on there and the washi tape served the purpose of joining two bits of Kraft cardstock together as I had run out of full 12 x 12" sheets.

And here's my Design Team layout from this month, where we had a weaving challenge:

See the inspiration board below!


This one was so fun. I made some Geli Plate prints with Dylusions paints, cut them into strips, wove then and then made circle die cuts. I used Uniquely Creative Kit club dies, in black, and the light bulbs were cut from my left over prints.

TFL...

Kraft Plus Challenge June

Hi all,
it's been awhile since my last post. I'm finding it hard to keep up with my Social Media outlets at the moment, due to being sick, but thought I would leave a little love on my blog today. I have a layout here for my Design Team sample over at Kraft Plus, this month. It's soooo inspiring this month and all about Dr. Seuss!! here's the inspiration board:



So you can either be inspired by the board, or by anything Dr Seuss! here's my page, (and a few close ups), which I had the perfect photo for!!!

My kids are both good readers, so the photo was from book week a few years ago and I chose a quote to go with that theme, and made some embellishments using a TCW stencil and Dylusions paint. I finished those off with some bow ties made on my Ezy Press and a Kaszazz die.

Thanks for looking :)

Kraft Plus March challenge

Hi all, gosh, it's been a few months since my last post. So much has been happening, I have been run off my feet. I started a new job, so less days to create now, but making the most of today which is the first day I have had to myself in months!!!!
Today there's a new reveal over at Kraft Plus. This month, we have a sketch for you to be inspired by, and you need to add some fussy cutting on your project. Head to the blog to find out all the details and the rules! Here's the sketch:




And here's my Design Team take on the challenge this month. I have made a card, using the Uniquely Creative Kit Club February left overs. (I was lucky to be a guest designer over there in January & February.)

My fussy cutting, includes the stamped, star images, and all the little layers of patterned papers and card stock strips. Some of the Hesagons also. Here's a lttile close up for you.





I used the embossing folder from the Feb Creative kit, as a stamp, with some Oxide ink, to add some interest to my background. The sweet little enamel dots are from Ruby Rock it.

Hope you find time to play along this month!!!

Some Project shares and Happy New Year 2018

Gosh, I really can't believe that we are at the beginning of a brand New Year...how did it happen so fast??? 2017 was filled with many highlights for me, but a few crappy moments aswell. I'm hoping 2018 is going to help my family with a major goal, but of course, like anyone, I wish us and all my friends and family, good health and happiness. And there's no better way to keep happy than crafting!!! So here's a few Design Team projects I haven't shared yet, cause time just got away over the silly season...

This one was December's moodboard challenge over at Kraft Plus.

November post for Memory Maze!!

My final Blog Post and project for Memory maze Design Team.

Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Hi all, well I was going to do a scrapbook layout about Christmas and then the mojo just went missing. Sooo tired am I. You can tell it's the silly season and we are on the go here at our place this last few weeks. Anyway, so I came up with these cards, using some chipboard from Memory Maze Lasercuts.

I used the Winter Wonderland range of papers from Kaszazz, some die cuts, stamps, ribbon and twine, Glitter Stickles and embossing powder, (all Kaszazz.).
Hope I've inspired you to get some Christmas cards made!!!
TFL, Tania

Kraft Plus November challenge

Hi all!! Do you think it's a little crazy that it's November already?? To kick off the 1st of the month, there is a new challenge over at Kraft Plus Challenge blog, and you will love it!!! We want you to use something BIG on your layout!! I had so many ideas, but really wanted to start scrapping some Singapore photos, and I had the perfect BIG chipboard piece from Memory Maze to compliment my BIG animal photos!! Here's the prompt board:



And here is my Design Team sample page:

The inspiration initially came from this gorgeous chipboard piece, with the little giraffe and other elements attatched to it. I painted it with Distress Paints and Alcohol Ink Art Markers, from Kaszazz.

I used up some left over die cut alphas, (used my Silhouette Machine), for the title, along with some Thickers and Fancy Pants papers from Scrappingclearly!!! You can also see some Bling Colourpaste on there from Colour Blast!!

Another fabulous challenge from Kraft Plus, hope you can play along!!!

Memory Maze Design Team Post 21st Birthday Card

Hi all, I'm back from Singapore, after a wonderful 10 day trip and finally had some rest and ready to create!!! Today I have a 21st Birthday to attend, and so made this card for my Memory Maze Design team post, using some cool chipboard and some new dies and foils from Kaszazz.
Here are the chipboard pieces used from Memory Maze:

So, I used the negative section of the chipboard frame, as a stencil! This made a great background on white card, which I then mounted onto some black and coloured cardstock. (From Kaszazz.) Ladybug is my favourite colour,

I painted the triangle border piece with black paint, and cut into a few different pieces. I used my Ezy Press machine to die cut some circles for the centre and Kaszazz now have these cool foils. I die cut the number 21and the happy birthday, with the new dies, added them to some sticker paper and then placed the foil on top of the stickers and rubbed the foil slightly and peel away. This one is the silver holographic, and it's awesome. I also used the banner die for my anchor for the happy birthday sentiment.

   



















I'm happy with the result of this card! Love the chipboard and love the foils and die cuts!!!

Thanks for looking!

Kraft Plus October challenge

Hi all, I'm here to share my Design Team take on this month's Kraft Plus challenge, use something clear on your project.
I decided to do an Art Journal page for this one, my last piece of art, before we go on holidays to Singapore for 10 days..woohoo!
I made a background with some strokes of gesso, followed by some Distress Paints in Cracked Pistachio, Dusty Concord and Picked Raspberry, loving this combination.

I used a TCW stencil and added some texture paste, followed by some stamping with the awesome Paper Artsy, stamps by Tracy Scott. I stamped some directly onto the background and some onto a pre made Distress Oxide ink background, and fussy cut them to adhere to my page.

I stuck some clear, epoxy circle stickers on top of some of the larger circles, then went around some of the circles with my white Dylusions pen . I used smaller epoxy dots for the smaller stamped, circles, which had been coloured with Alcohol Markers from Kaszazz.

I'm quite chuffed with the result!
Thanks for looking and hope you find time to play along with this month's challenge!!!

Goodbye Scrappingclearly, hello Kraft Plus September Challenge

Hi all! A whole month has flown by since my last post...too fast, this year is going way too fast!!! I have let go of one of my Design Team positions to try and free up a little more time for myself. I said goodbye to Scrappingclearly, last month, it was a fab 18 months with them, and on their blog, you can see my post of a collection of my favourite projects created using their products:
https://scrapping-clearly.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/time-to-say-goodbyefrom-tania.html

Today I'm sharing my latest layout for Kraft Plus! This one was very inspiring, it's all about Bees and Hexagons, check out the prompt board here:



Here's my take on this fab challenge!!!

I used lots of Kaszazz goodies on here, the hexagon die was perfect for this challenge, I cut out my photo into a large hexagon and with the left over bits from the photo, I made one of them into another embellishment, to repeat the water image. (See below)

Stamps from Kaszazz, Stencil from Kaisercraft, Chipboard word from Memory Maze. Patterned papers from Echo Park, and there's some Colourblast, Colourpaste on there too!

Thanks for looking!!!
