Our friend Emma Williams recently made some fabulous cards using the Kaisercraft Velvet Ensemble collection and had them featured in Making Cards magazine. She has been good enough to send us some images of them.

The cards each use Velvet Ensemble in different ways but we think each displays the distinctive, timeless sophistication of the original collection. Emma has also added a few additional details such as a ribbon bow and some paper blooms.

You can find out more about the cards in this post and this post over on Emma’s blog. We think its also worth visiting to see all the other wonderful projects she has completed.

I changed my mind a few times on how I wanted to decorate this new Kaisercraft Trinket Chest but in the end I chose to use the lovely (and also new) Velvet Ensemble papers.

After painting the chest in Antique White Kaisercolour paint I covered the whole chest (drawers, sides and back) in the costume paper and inked round all the edges to give an aged look. I cut the mask on the lid from the ‘Stage Show’ paper and added a few little embellishments – a feather, a flower and some rhinestones – to it. The Black Organza bow finishes the chest off.

I wanted the feel of the chest to be one of opulence and I hope I have achieved it.

I used the following products to make the chest:

• SB2109 – Kaisercraft BTP Trinket Chest
• P674 – Costume, Velvet Ensemble 12 x 12 paper
• P678 – Stage Show, Velvet Ensemble 12 x 12 paper
• P675 – Performance, Velvet Ensemble 12 x 12 paper
• KC002 – Antique White, Kaisercolour paint
• PL514 – Pearl Flourishes, Black
• RI613 – Organza Ribbon pack, Natural
• KG-024003 – Red Kindyglitz Glitter Glue (for the Red lipstick)
• KG-021552 – Silver Kindyglitz Glitter Glue (on the flower)
• Crystal Lacquer Set
• Glue Stick
• Brown Ink Pad
