Beyond-the-page offers a great way to match bits of home decor with the colour theme in your house. These coasters where made to coordinate with the scheme in a chocolate and cream coloured room.

I’ve used the Kaisercraft Round Coaster Pack (SB2056) and painted all the edges and the base in Kaisercraft Raw Umber Acrylic Paint (KC032). I’ve then just used circles of the Pine Arbour (P445) and Elm Point (P442) papers from the Prairie Lane collection. I’ve finished some of the coasters using a stamp from the Prairie Lane Clear Stamp set (CS732). By the way, each coaster has different colours on each side so that I can mix and match them.

I’ve finished the edge of the base with a strip of Prairie Lane paper and a few bronze rhinestones (SB776).

A project like this is a great way to start out with beyond-the-page – it’s quick and easy and you cannot really go far wrong.

Here are a couple of cards I’ve made recently to show how versatile Kaisercrafts Prairie Lane Collection can be. While the colours of these papers can be quite masculine, they can also be used to create some very feminine effects.

The card on the left was made using part of the Sunny Grove paper (P440) while the card on the right features parts of both the back and front of the Spring Acres paper (P444).

In both cases I’ve added bronze rhinestones (SB776) and sed a stamp from the Prairie Lane Clear Stamp Set (CS732) to create a frame for some simple words. I’ve also created a multi petal flower using two colours of Kaisercraft paper flowers, Blue Ice (F615) and Ivory Cream (F602), and highlighted it with a brown Kaisercraft Ink Pad (IP708).
