DT CORNER

Our wonderful Design Team have come up with some great ideas using the Kaisercraft La Di Da range of papers and embellishments.

Lisa's LO...

I loved using the Kaisercraft La Di Da collection with its lovely colour scheme and cute little birdies. I love using dimension on my LO's so I have cut out some of the elements from the paper and used double sided foam to raise them off the page and used the pearls to add a little bit of extra bling you sometimes need to finish our LO....Lisa

Close up showing the handcut elements, pearls and gorgeous flower Lisa has created.

Kirsten's LO

Close up showing the use of handcut elements, ribbon folding and Kaisercraft pearls.

Jan's Cards

I have taken advantage of the gorgeous elements on this paper, and handcut them for my cards. I have used double-sided foam to add dimension, pearls and Kindy Glitz. I have finished to cards off by using Carolees Creations Adorn It Tiny Stickers.
