8 Kaisercraft Fairy Cards

Hello there Rosies! Amber here to round out our Putting the Paper Back in Papercrafting week, with a collection of eight cards I created with the stunning Fairy Dust paper collection from Kaisercraft and a few of my Doodles Paper Playground: Sparkle Blends. I created 4 shaker cards and 3 simpler designs to share with you today.


This Paper collection is absolutely beautiful in a feminine color palette of teal & purple that worked perfectly with the Fairy DustLilac Luster, & Peacock Pizzazz Sparkle Blends. I love that it includes sheets of tags and sentiment panels, as well as 12x12 sheets of gorgeous paper, all at an affordable price!


Although I didn't order them for this set of projects, the Kaisercraft Fairy Dust collection also includes a pack of coordinating die cuts, a lovely Stamp Set, a Die Cut 12x12 glimmer cardstock sheet & a 12x12 sheet of sticker borders and sentiments.


For my first card I channeled my inner Jennifer McGuire and cut a 4 x 5 1/4 inch panel of this beautiful Enchanted paper and used a kraft knife to cut out the white space, creating a faux laser cut look. I used my score board to score a hinge and mounted the panel on an A2 seafoam panel of cardstock. I cut two smaller panels, one white and one seafoam to mount inside the card so I would have a hidden place to write my message. I cut a sentiment from the text print Flutterby paper & mounted it on purple cardstock before popping it up with 1mm Woodware mounting tape.

For my second project, I chose a 4x6 panel from the Stardust cut apart sheet. I used my kraft knife to cut out the center of the oval design, mounting it in the center of a landscape, white A2 card. I cut a piece of acetate transparency and mounted it on the back of the frame panel. I selected the Lilac Luster Sparkle Blends and placed a generous amount to the center of the decorative oval & used 3mm Woodware Mounting Tape to pop up the panel & attach it to my card base. For a final touch, I cut out one of the sentiment banners and fussy cut a butterfly from the foiled Flutter cardstock and adhered them in opposite corners, before adding some Dovecraft Crystal Glitter Glue. On the inside, I trimmed down one of the cut apart sentiments from the Fairy Wishes cut apart sheet.

For my third card, I selected another of the sentiment panels from the Stardust cut apart sheet & cut it to 5x5 inches. I mounted it on a 5.25x5.25 panel of teal cardstock using 1mm Woodware Mounting Tape and mounted the whole panel to a 5.5x5.5 white, top fold card base. I fussy cut one of the fairies and a butterfly from the foiled Flutter cardstock and mounted them with 1mm foam tape. I added a touch of Dovecraft Crystal Glitter Glue on the wings of the fairy & the butterfly. I cut out the bracket tag sentiment panel from the Stardust cut apart sheet, mounting it in the center of a panel of lavender cardstock, before adding it to the inside of my card.

For my fourth card, I selected another of the sentiment panels from the Fairy Wishes cut apart sheet, and used my craft knife to cut out the bracket panel in the center, carefully cutting around the fairy image. I mounted a 4 7/8x4 7/8 panel of the reverse side of the Sparkly paper, and placed a generous amount of Fairy Dust sparkle blends in the center. I added acetate to the back of my front panel and popped it up using 3mm foam tape. I cut out and mounted a sentiment banner, and one of the flowers from the Enchanted paper and mounted them using 1mm foam tape. 


On the inside, I added a panel of white cardstock, and cut apart the sentiment I'd cut out of the center of the panel on the front. Finally, I added a fairy I fussy cut from the foiled Flutter cardstock and mounted it on the left of the sentiment to cover up the notches where the fairy had been cut out.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my fifth card, I chose another of the panels from the Fairy Wishes cut apart sheet & fussy cut the bracket portion. I used my kraft knife to cut out the center rectangle with the fairy image, and mounted it on the center of a top folding, landscape A2 card base. I placed a generous amount of Peacock Pizzazz Sparkle Blends in the center of the panel. Then I adhered a panel of acetate to the back of the frame and mounted it over the sequins with 3mm foam tape. I cut one of the banner strips from the edge of the paper, mounted it on purple cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the shaker, using 1mm foam tape. I fussy cut 4 butterflies and adhered them in the corners, with their wings popped up. Finally, I added glitter glue for sparkle.


On the inside, I cut apart another of the sentiment banners from the barcode edge of a sheet of paper, trimming it into three lines, short enough to fit inside the card, and mounted them on a scrap of the patterned paper and then a piece of teal cardstock. I mounted that whole thing on a panel of lavender cardstock, edged at the top and bottom with thin scraps of another pattern. I added the whole panel to the inside of my card and embellished it with more fussy cut butterflies.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my sixth card, I cut a 5.25x5.25 panel of the Pixie paper and mounted it on a 5.5 inch square card base. I adhered one of the fussy cut fairies from the foiled Flutter paper and several of the butterflies, alternating gluing them flat or using 1mm foam tape. I cut down one of the sentiments from the bar code edge strips, and cut fish tails at one end, adhering it with 3mm foam tape. For added sparkle, I embellished the fairy & butterfly wings with Glitter Glue.


For the inside, I cut a panel of teal cardstock, and topped it with the back side of the Dew Drops paper, leaving just a thin border of teal. I cut down the other half of the sentiment from the front of the card, adhered it with double sided tape, and added two of the fussy cut butterflies as a finishing touch.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my final card of the day, I selected one more of the panels from the  Fairy Wishes cut apart sheet and fussy cut the scalloped circle. I used a circle die from my stash to cut out the sentiment in the middle, and set it aside. I cut a 5.25 inch square panel of the Flutterby paper and adhered it to a pale aqua 5.5 inch card base. I added a circle of acetate to the back of the scalloped frame, and used a double layer of Fun Foam to create my shaker box, using two dies from my stash. I added a generous amount of the Fairy Dust Sparkle Blends to the center of the panel, and added my frame. I trimmed down one of the sentiments from the bar code edge of the paper and adhered it at the top of the shaker. Above that, I adhered a crown image, fussy cut from the foiled Flutter paper, as well as a few butterflies and one of the fairies. I added Glitter Glue to the fairy and butterfly wings, and used Sea Breeze Nuvo Jewel Drops on the crown as jewels.


To finish the inside of my card, I took the center I had cut out of the frame I used for the shaker and adhered one of the fussy cut crowns to the top, and a little butterfly as embellishments.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I hope you enjoyed these projects as much as I loved making them. I don't often craft without stamping, but I found this collection to be versatile and inspiring to use. I still have lots of it left, so expect a follow up with more designs some time in the future!
