Altered Journal-G45 A Ladies Diary

Hello Krafters!
I was asked if I wanted to participate in a swap using the beautiful A Ladies Diary by G45. I was so honored that Martica invited me! Anyone who knows who she is can say her work is the BOMB! There were a number of categories to choose from. I decided to do an altered journal. All of the participants of the swap thought it would be even better if it was a secret sister swap! So for this posting, I am only sharing the parts of the journal since it is personalized for the recipient.

There was A LOT of fussy cutting on this one guys and can I say it was WELL worth it!! Did I mention this collection is beautiful! I also wanted to mention my sister Kelli raked me the lace (thank you Sis) :) I sprayed it with Lindy's Clam Bake Beige...perfect!

I hope you all enjoyed today's project using that luscious paper! Have a great day, Kenya

Nature's Beauty

Hello All!

I was in an ATC swap at sb.com. For this swap, we had to make three ATCs that had to include a bird and or a butterfly. I decided to include both on mine. I used a Poppy Stamp die for the birdcage. The birds and butterfly cameos came from my stash. I colored them with some acrylic paint to go with the 7 Gypsies Conservatory Paper collection. Not pictured, but I also used a stamp from that same collection on the back.

That is it! I had so much fun putting these together! Thank you all so much 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~

Beautiful Mother

Hello Krafters,

Today is the third day of the Mother’s Day Celebration! I have to admit, while others may not like this card, I LOVE it! I adore the lady on the photo. She is so beautiful to me. I have no idea who she is LOL. I found her picture on the internet and HAD to use her image on a card! I believe this picture was taken in the 1920s.

The pattern paper is the Gabriel Collection by Bo Bunny. It is some scrumptious paper J

 I will spare you the specifics today. Hope you enjoyed the card as much as I did. Thank you for stopping by, Krafthead~

Coral Couture Mother's Day

Hello Krafters,

Welcome to day two of Krafting Love’s Mother’s Day Celebration! Today I am sharing an easy card. DCWV’s Coral Couture paper is GORGEOUS! Most of the papers make a beautiful card all by themselves. Since this pattern is so pretty, I did not want to over embellish. I printed a sentiment off the computer and cut it with a tag Nestibility. I also used the Classic Oval die to layer behind the sentiment which was dry embossed. I added a few flowers, sprays, lace, pearls and butterflies to finish it off.

Hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thank you for stopping by, Krafthead~

Diva Mother

Happy Monday Krafters!

Today is going to kick start our week long Mother’s Day Celebration! I am sharing a simple card I made. This was fun to make and I am so happy about how it turned out. The stamp is by Close to My Heart….love it! The image is cut from a Nestability. It is layered on top of the DCWV Bella stack. To add to the design, I added a beautiful lace and pearl trim. The flowers are I Am Roses and the Mike’s dollar spot. I also added pearl and a leaf from the Foliage Shapeabilities.

Thank you all for stopping by! I can’t wait to see your Mother’s Day creations! Krafthead~

**TIP** use handmade or less expensive flowers in conjunction with your more expensive flowers (i.e. I Am Roses). Less expensive flowers are great to use as fillers J

God Bless~

Happy Thursday Krafters!

Today, I would like to share a layout with you all. On scrapbook.com, I belong to the group Jesus Girlz. On the forum one of the sisters, Kathy, shared a list of scriptures that will help with a number of issues we face regularly. Another sister, Lissa, made a beautiful layout using the provided scriptures. So this layout was inspired and lifted from them!

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

Fashionista~

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~

Rated R-Mature Audience Only

Happy Friday Krafters!

I went back and forth about posting this project. I am hosting a challenge using your Cricut over on scrapbook.com. The theme of the challenge is love/romance. That said, I did a “for mature audience” card. It is intended to be playful. So I hope I am not going to offend anyone by posting this.

I used the Tinkerbell and Friends Cricut Cartridge for the girl. Now I must admit, I bought this cartridge for this purpose (joke for DH, my friend and her DH). I colored her eyes with a glitter pen instead of using the cut (it was too small) and used another gel pen for the eye shadow. For her outfit, I layered a piece of lace to add the effect of lingerie. I added more lace to the faux pillow next to her and added a heart brad.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by and leave a comment …Krafthead~

Operation Count Down to Christmas Day 7

Happy Wednesday Krafters~

Welcome to day seven of Operation Countdown to Christmas! Today, I am here to share a project that was inspired by MyButterflykisses. I came across her project and I knew immediately that I had to make one. I made mine a little differently, than she did, but the idea is the same. I think it is my favorite project made to date! It turned out better than I could ever imagine! The best thing about this project is that I already had everything I needed! No additional cost J

Good Friends

Hello Krafters!

Today I would like to share a card I made for my Mom’s friend. They have been friends since they were little girls. My mom wanted something with a dove since the old saying says “If she kept one and her friend had the other, they would be friends forever.” Mom was happy with the results!

This project allowed me to use products from my stash as well as equipment that I enjoy using. I thought the dove theme was a good way to utilize those feathers I had just sitting around (not really sure why I bought them in the first place *shrug*). I also put my Ranger Melting Pot in use!

I hope this project inspire you to use some supplies/equipment that has been in your stash for a while or has not been loved. As always, I appreciate every visit and comment left. Thanks for stopping by! Krafthead~

SSSCT Project-Name Plate

Hello Krafters!

I’m here to share my first Scrappin with Sharon & Smokey Creative Team project. Since I upload videos to YouTube, I figured it would only be right to make a name plate. I used two cutting files from Sharon’s store. I also used the MTC software and my beloved Gazelle!  

For this project, I wanted to incorporate some of my favorite things. I love lilies, especially Calla Lillies! To me, they are the prettiest flowers. When I saw this file (RM00119), I knew I had to use it! File RM00119 was used to make ALL of the flowers! I used distress ink, Copics and a black pen to make the flowers to look a bit more realistic. They were really easy to assemble.

The frame was cut using file RM00155. I cut it out using thick cardstock (it cut very smooth). I painted it white and then used black Crackle Paint for a distressed look.

I added lace to the bottom with a strand of pearls (Karla’s Etsy). I also used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch.  I didn’t want to over embellish so I kept this very simple.

This project was so quick and easy! Thanks for stopping by. Krafthead~

*TIP* I recommend misting the pieces to roll the flowers OR taking an embossing tool and distress the petals until they curl***

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~
