Altered Fan-G45 A Ladies Diary

Hi Krafters!
I have another project using that beautiful A Ladies Diary paper by G45! Martica opened up another group (altered fans) for those of us who were done with our projects. This project took me out of my comfort zone since I never altered anything like this before. I had so much fun with this one and yes there is a lot of fussy cutting on this one too!

The fan pattern was cut from chipboard (2x) using the Pagoda Cricut Cartridge. I painted it with ivory Folk Art Paint. Once it dried, I used crackle paint and sealed it with Mod Podge. All of the layers made the fan sturdier. Between the layers, I added the lace. Again, my sister Kelli rak'ed me that beautiful lace!

I hope you enjoyed another project using G4's A Ladies Diary. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Best Dad Ever!

Happy Monday Krafters!

This week will be dedicated to all of the dads out there! It takes a special man to be a dad. A dad is a man who provides, protects and spends time with his children. He supports them and encourages. I am happy that my children have a dad who is all of these things.

Today, I am sharing the card I made for DH. It was really fun to put together. The base is kraft card stock. I layered another piece of kraft cardstock which was corrugated. On top of that layer, I took a piece of pattern paper from the Time Piece Stack by DCWV. Then I used some of the TH tissue tape, ticket, added burlap, and some of the gears by Spellbinders.  I fussy cut the Polaroid from the same collection and also fussy cut the post card stamp. I embossed the sentiment and that is it!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

True Love

Hello Krafters!

Many of us Krafters love to use EVERYTHING! I printed a photo of my friend and her hubby in B&W when I was doing the tile for them. I scrapped my original idea for a card and decided to use this photo of them for a true personalized card. I love how the photo crinkled because it makes the picture look aged!

Short and sweet J I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Have a good day, Krafthead~

Day 5 Mother's Day Celebration Week

Happy Friday Krafters!

This marks the final day of the Mother’s Day Celebration Week! I enjoyed sharing all of the projects and I hope you enjoyed them too! Today I am sharing a Tea Dispenser I made for a friend who loves drinking tea.

I bought the file from the Silhouette Studio. I have to admit, when I opened the file, I was a little intimidated. Let me assure you, it was really easy to assemble! You will need two 12x12” pieces of cardstock or thick pattern paper for the base and one sheet of pattern paper for the layers (optional). I used the Linen Closet Stack by DCWV. It will go along with my friend’s kitchen or her office.

Once the dispenser was assembled, I placed pearls on the lid. Then I added some I Am Roses and Prima Flowers, lace, sentiment and charms (tea cup with saucer and tea pot) to the top.

The pattern paper has designs that are the color of the Prima roses…perfect! I also added a butter fly (not pictured) to the lid as well.

For the first one, I am really happy how it turned out! Next time, the process will go faster. These will make awesome gifts for the tea lover in your life!

Happy Mother’s Day to ALL of the mothers out there! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Dad's Birthday Card

Hey hey Krafters!

I would like to share with you a card I made for my dad’s birthday. I have shared many times over that I struggle with masculine projects. I have come to terms that I struggle because I think too much! Why can’t I add a flower to a manly page? Who says flowers are only for women? On this one, I just went for what I know which is to have fun!

The papers/ticket came for DCWV’s Tattered Time and Recollections Regent Street. One thing I love about DCWV/Recollections is that even if you used a different collection, most times they go together! I used a Sizzix Collage Embossing Folder on the mat. It made the paper look distressed and have a leather look to it! I love how that turned out! The gears were cut from the Indie Art cartridge and sprayed with Lindy’s Stamp Gang (it is really golden and shimmery). I believe I cut the arrow from Graphically Speaking.

I stamped the sentiment s from a couple of stamp sets from Inkadinkadoo. I stamped the clock image on acetate. The stamp is from the Bo Bunny Timepiece Collection. Prior to embossing, I stamped some random images on the paper (it was really to clean off my stamps, but it worked in the design LOL). The flower was made from the Create a Rose Shapeability. I added a button and hemp to the center. To complete the design, I added a clock charm.

I hope you all enjoyed today’s project! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Scraps?

Hello Krafters!

Today, I am sharing a really simple card. I used the scraps from the altered journal I shared Monday. I added sheer ribbon to the top and added a daisy that was colored with the Victorian Velvet Distress Ink. A piece of bling was added to the center. I stamped the sentiment Celebrate with Close to Cocoa Stampin’ Up Ink. I also added flowers from my stash and a butterfly charm.

That is it! Short and sweet right? This is a good way to use those scraps and have a card in your stash for those “I need a card now” moments! Thank you all for stopping by, Krafthead~

Happy Monday Krafters!

I trust you all had a good krafty weekend. Not much krafting going on for me. However, I do have a layout I would like to share. The “Dapper” man in the photo is DH’s grandfather. He was a Master Barber by trade. He owned his own barber shop in Illinois. His grooming skills have trickled down to DH. He is a natural barber! I was afraid to do this layout because I know how much DH value this photo. I hope I did right by him J

I hope you enjoyed the story and layout I shared of Grandpa. As always, thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
