Violin Birthday~

Happy Friday Krafters~

TGIF!! Today, I am sharing a birthday card for my SIL. She turned 18 on the 21^st and she is a very accomplished violinist. I never used the Quarter Note cartridge. So I thought her love for the violin and her birthday was a perfect union for this card.

The base is white Bazzill (standard A2 size) distressed with Walnut Distress Ink. I used the Imagine More Imagine Cartridge for the pattern paper cut at 4x5.25”. The brown layer is Core’dinations Chocolate Lovers.

I used a labels Nestability for the background and the violin is cut at 3” from the Quarter Note Cricut Cartridge. I also stamped a ticket from an Inkadinkado stamp set. The sentiment comes from Close to My Heart which was stamped with Rich Cocoa Momento Ink. I then embossed the sentiment with clear embossing powder. The flowers are I Am Roses and some other flowers I purchased from Karlas001 etsy store a little while back. I also had a pearl strand I purchased from Karla in my stash. The butterfly is a charm that was also in my stash.

To give the card a little shimmer, I sprayed it with Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Have a great weekend and “see” you all on Monday for another project, Krafthead~

With Sympathy~

Happy Friday Krafters!

It has been a busy and strange week! It seems like forever since I posted a project. Did you all miss me? J I missed sharing projects with you all that’s for sure! A fellow member of my place of worship had a loss in her family. Since I am unable to make it to the services tomorrow, I decided to lift her spirits with a sympathy card. It was quick and easy to put together.

I hope you enjoyed and are inspired by today’s card. Thank you all for stopping by, Krafthead~

Tissue Box With Style-Creative Team Project

Hello Krafters!

It is Krafthead here to share with you a project I made for the Scrappin with Sharon and Smokey Creative Team. The miniature box was originally used for candies. However, since it is cold season, I thought it would be a cute idea to make a tissue box with it instead.  This box fits pocket sized tissues perfectly! I used acetate at the top and cut a slit to access the tissues or you can just lift the top on and off as needed. To embellish it, I used some black lace from my stash and some black flat back pearls.  The flourishes were made using Black Diamond Stickles and the Bazzill Fantasy Flourish Template.

File RM00090 is the flower file which was used to further embellish the box. The flowers were so easy to put together. When getting this file, there is an added bonus….a butterfly! I was so happy when I saw that! So cute!

If you are giving as a gift as a tissue box, I would recommend sealing the box with Mod Podge to strengthen it a bit. Also, use a thick and or sturdy cardstock.

There are so many things that can be done with RM00114! You can make it a cute care package for someone by adding a few tissues and a packet of tea…..or give as favors at a wedding. The sky is truly the limit. RM00090 makes gorgeous 3D flowers!

As always, I appreciate you stopping by! Don't forget to check out Sharon's store regularly. She adds new files often! Hope you enjoyed the project. Take care, Krafthead~

Faith Journal

Hi Krafters!

Today I want to share with you a Faith Book I made for my mother. This is my version of a Junk Journal. She is a newly born again Christian and I wanted to do something special for her. Since there are some personal things in the journal, I am only sharing the cover.

I cut the shape of the book using the Sizzix die, chipboard and pattern papers. I covered it with some Paperstudio’s faith paper. For the frame, I painted a bottom of a soda can with metallic gold paint. To hide the gaps, I outlined the frame with half back pearls. For the flowers, I used two sizes of the Marvy flower punches and inked the petal. The centers of the flowers are half back pearls. I also used Prima pearls for the flourishes.

In the inside, I added scriptures, titles, journaling spot, tags and personal notes. I also decorated the pages with flowers and pearls.

I bound the book with hemp and duct tape. To cover the duct tape, I used a piece of pattern paper. It turned out great and she loved it! Krafthead~

*Note* If you decide to cut a soda pop can, please be careful! It is very sharp and can cut you*
