Cafe au Lait: Another one for the boys

Hi there crafters, 

So another day, another birthday. Is it just me or is this year flying by really fast. 

I have created a very elegant masculine (yes those two words go together, at least they do in my head).

I have used my Cafe Au Lait collection again for this one but I added a few gears and wood ephemera.  The hot air balloon in from one of the older Kaisercraft collection which I cannot recall right now. So what do you think?

I even gave doing some typography a try, which came out rather well. 

Remember I do make custom made cards. You can email me or head over to my Etsy and "convo" me there.

I hope you like. Leave a comment or question and Happy Crafting!

Cafe au Lait: A steampunk card

Hello crafters and passer-bys, I hope you are all well and looking for some inspiration.

I have another card in the Cafe au Lait collection which I made in a bit of a steampunk theme. Rather than doing is traditionally for a guy, I made this one for a girl.

 I used the cardmakers set for this card which, I feel, gives a good size to work with. The Kaisercraft bodice was coated in some antique bronze crackle paint and the gears in the background where given the old rust treatment. The one thing that I could not get to show up well on the photo was a layer of clear crackle I put down on the background before adding all the delicious elements. 

Please leave a comment or question below and HAPPY CRAFTING!

Here is a reveal of the collection Cafe au Lait

 

Cafe au Lait: Vintage flowers Card

Welcome all you creative geniuses and those who are curious.

Today I want to show you a new card I made with my new collection Cafe au Lait. It may look like a bit of a masculine collection however it is quite variable in what you can do with it. 

Here is a distinctly feminine card I made using the new collection.

I have used some of Prima's Art basic Copper Crackle Medium, which I just LOVE using. The three flowers are some of Kaisercrafts Large white flowers which I sprayed with water and then applied some small bits of color. I added some gold shimmer spray over the top and then left them to dry. 

I also had a few Silhouette die cuts in my stash that I added in the background and a couple vintage brads.

After putting everything together I then added some gesso over the top of the die cuts and flowers just to soften everything.

Cafe au Lait: A Man's Cards

Hello crafts and welcome to my blog again.

I want to share some cards I made with the new Cafe au Lait collection. I made this collections JUST in time for my brothers birthday which was last week. Here is the card I made him. 

This collection while not steampunk in its own right can be used to create a great steampunk genre card or layout. Add some airships, some gears and clocks along with some distressed edges and tada there you have it. I really like this card.
