Practical Scrappers DT Project: Fabric

Happy Tuesday Krafters!

Today over at Practical Scrappers, we are having fun with fabric! Fabric can bring interest and texture to a project. For my card, I used the adhesive backed fabric by DCWV. It has been in my stash for well over a year. I can say, it felt good to not hoard. Funny thing is I have no reason why I was hording this particular pack??

Anyway, the project is very straight forward. I used a stamp and die set from Hero Arts/Sizzix for the flowers. I pulled out my unloved colored pencils to color the flowers.

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Don't forget to stop over and see the awesome ways fabric was used on projects! Thanks for stopping by, 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*
