Play, Love, Soup

Hello Krafters!

I was challenged by my sister Kelli over at Favorite Favors! She made this awesome sketch and I had to post by today, April 4th. I met the deadline!! Yay me! Thank you Kelli for sharing the sketch and the challenge...

 

So let me start off by saying when my daughter gets older, she is going to probably kill me for sharing this post. However, it was too funny of an event not to share!  Ok to give you a little background, my daughter was about 2 years old. In the fall, I make soup. She decided to take it upon herself to "style" her hair! This girl used the soup as hair gel!! It was a mess! At first I was so upset as I had JUST did her hair, but then I thought this would be a funny photo to look at when she was older (this was before my scrapbooking days). By the time I grabbed the camera, she was crying...felt bad, but still could not resist!

To put this layout together I tried to stick to the sketch. I made my own background paper by splattering Glimmer Mist and Lindy's Stamp Gang. I also sprayed the ribbon with the same colors. For the pattern paper, I used Imaginisce. I used embellishments from my stash. It was so fun to put together!

I hope you enjoyed today's project..and I pray my daughter will be able to forgive me. Thank you so much for stopping by, Krafthead~

Happy To Be Your Boy

Hello Krafters!

Today is the last day of the Father's Day dedication week. I am sharing a VERY simple Father’s Day card I made for DH to give to his dad. When I saw this stamp with the handshake, I thought of my FIL so I had to use it. My father-in-law is as simple as they come! He is not a very sentimental guy at all. I did not want to over embellish or put too much into it. Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Hello Krafters!

As many of you know, I love DCWV paper! However, I have tried to open up my eyes to other paper lines. Now, I have opened up another can of worms because I have fallen in love with MANY of them. I see a pattern of me hoarding these papers too. I decided I would hoard no more! Yes it is pretty, but life is too short and I rather use what I have than waiting until that special occasion and miss out…you catch my drift?

The recipient is into fashion and I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to pull out that “special” paper. On this project, I used Webster’s Pages Double Collection Pack (Ladies & Gents and Trendsetters). I think this paper is absolutely gorgeous and I put off using it because I did not want to mess it up. The good thing about crafting is there is no right or wrong way. As long as the recipient loves it, that is all that matters anyways; which she did.

I fussy cut a stamped image of a dress form. There are so many things that can be done with this pattern because of the colors in it. I decided to use my favorite cardstock, Kraft and minimize the amount of embellishments so the beauty of this pp can shine through. I matted the dress form on a piece of Kraft cardstock I cut using Nestabilities. Then I used some vintage lace I have in my stash and layered strung pearls on that. For the birthday tag, I punched it out using a Fiskars label punch and added pearls. I also added pearls through the hole and attached it to the dress form. The curly rose is from I Am Roses and the beige flowers are from my stash (bought from Karlas001.etsy store).

The top of the card, I rolled one corner so the recipient can see the beautiful patter on the other side. The butterflies were punched in the same pattern from the Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch and pearls were placed on the back. I added a cameo two roses (I Am Roses). On the black cardstock, I stamped an image in white to add interest. I sprayed iridescent gold to the card for a little shimmer.

On the inside of the card, I used the pattern was that on the butterflies and corner…it turned out GREAT!  I really like how this turned out. I hope you enjoyed this too J Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

Scrappin With Sharon and Smokey Creative Team Project

Hello Krafthead,

I hope everyone had a great time with family and friends on Christmas. I can’t believe it is over!

Today, I would like to share a sympathy card with you as a Scrappin’ with Sharon and Smokey’s Creative Team Project. My Mother’s friend lost her sister on Christmas day and I knew these files would be perfect. I used RM00155 for the frame and RM00090 for the flowers.

I threaded sheer ribbon through the frame and tied the ribbon into a bow. For the flowers, I used Tattered Rose and Peppermint Stick Glimmer Mist. I had leaves and Prima Say it with Pearls in my stash. The paper is from DCWV’s Bella Amor Stack. The sentiment is from a rubber stamp I have. That was cut using the smallest Nestability. I added pearls (from my stash) to the corners to finish off the card.

Be sure to drop by Sharon's store and check out these files and others! She is always adding new files!

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

Sophie

Hello Krafters!

Today, I would like to share a project I made using Sophie. This is a very versatile cartridge. It is my second favorite Circle cartridge to date.  Anywho, I love butterflies and I thought this was the perfect project.

I used the card feature to cut out the card base in Paper Trey Ink’s Cream cardstock. For the pattern paper, I used various pieces of The Paper Studio Antique.  The butterfly was cut using the layer feature. I ran the card base and butterfly through the Cuttlebug using the Musical Flourish Embossing Folder.

I used white lace from my stash. To match the project, I dyed it using gold Glimmer Mist. As the lace dried, I inked the edges of the card base and butterfly using Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I added small pearls to the butterfly and the four corners. I attached the lace and added larger pearls with my glue gun.

On the inside of the card, I used the Martha Stewart Butterfly Edge Punch to add interest. It was punched using the same pattern paper used for the matting and butterfly on the outside. That’s it! A quick and easy project that can be used for several occasions.  Thanks for visiting, Krafthead~
