KAISER FREE MAGAZINES ARE COMING BACK!
Posted by echuca in : Uncategorized at March 2nd, 2010, add a comment
I have found that Kaisercraft have always listened to any feedback that they have been given and this morning I have been advised that the free booklets are returning. This means that the quarterly magazine will be no longer, so if you need a copy before they are all gone you had best be quick. Aside form the booklets returning they are also going back to a monthly release of product. Check back regularly for any updates.
This month, along with the Gypsy & Peachy Keen release, they have launched 3 new colours in both rhinestone & pearl strips. New rhinestone colours include Hot Pink, Lime & Lilac. New pearl colours are Chocolate, Latte & Champagne.
GYPSY & PEACHY-KEEN HAVE ARRIVED…

A beautiful layout using the new CHA Winter release. The stunning Raspberry Tea papers, butterflies and pearls. Soft reds and pretty pinks make it a stunning page for girl layouts, suiting both heritage or modern photos. You need to bring along 3 or 4 6×4 croppable photos. Will suit black and white or soft pastel colours rather than stronger colours.

Pink Paislee Amber Road collection.
This paper is so easy to work with, it’s rich reds, soft greens and gorgeous charcoals make creating a breeze. Come into the store and see Karen’s two gorgeous layouts.
In this sample I’ve used two of the postcards and one each of the other papers to create this beautiful layout of my daughter and new grandson.
I’ve embellished it with some of the new Prima flowers, chipboard and bling.
Products are available in store now to recreate this design, but be quick the papers are selling fast. The chipboards will only be available to attendees of the Friday March 5th or Thursday April 8th scrapbook classes as they were purchased exclusively for class purposes.

To get extra life from your rotary cutting blade, clean fluff from your cutter and reverse the blade regularly.
