Product Preview Kaisercraft Take Home Project instructions

Made With Love party favour box instructions

1. Fold the pink cardstock in half so the two short ends are aligned and press the fold so it is crisp.
2. With a ruler find the center of the two short (open edge) ends. Fold from the center in a diagonal fold to the outer edge of the folded short end. Repeat for both sides. (hopefully the photos help!)
3. The cardstock now resembles a triangle pocket. Carefully fill with lollies or a gift and press the narrow sides together. Punch a hole through all four layers and tie with the decorative fibers. Cut out 3-4 small hearts and glue to the ends of the fibers for additional decoration.
4. Cut thin strips of the tiny heart paper and curl them into tendrils by wrapping them around a thin item such as a paintbrush. Attach the tendrils to the front of the gift box with glue dots or strong tape.
5. Adhere cut out hearts and a paper flower onto the top of the curled paper. Decorate with Kindyglitz.

Layout project for Wednesday

Single large photo layout project

Hi friends!

Here is the layout project for this Wednesday night's Kaisercraft Product Preview event. This layout designed by Melissa Kennedy featured in the Kaisercraft Q3 Magazine uses the new Shaken Not Stirred collection.

We will be making glittered lettering to use on the layout and the title can be adapted if desired. The original layout uses a photograph cropped to a 7 1/2" diameter circle. Your photo therefore would need to be printed 8 1/2" x 11" to accommodate. Alternatively we can print a colour copy of your photo at the required size on cardstock on the night. We have created an option that uses four 4"x6" photographs.

Four photo layout project (four photo layout has same embellishments as the single photo layout)

Date: Wednesday 10th February at 7pm
