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

Librarian Card~

Happy TGIF Krafters!

This is day five of Teacher’s Appreciation Dedication Week! It has been fun sharing projects all week! Today I am sharing a simple and playful card I made for the school’s librarian. Not only is she the librarian, she also steps in to assist teachers or acts as a substitute teacher from time to time. It was only right to make her something too…right? I remembered I bought a library card stamp from PTI and had the Notebook border punch by EK Success….this card was born! I stamped the information from letter stamps from the $1 bin at Michael’s (when there was a dollar bin). I thought that was a funny way to showcase the card.

Thank you once again for stopping by and leaving love! Every comment was read and appreciated, have a wonderful weekend, Krafthead~

Happy Thursday Krafters!

Thanks for stopping by on day four of the Teacher’s Appreciation Week Dedication. Today, I am sharing a flip mini album. It was so quick and easy to put together!

There is enough room for 3 wallet sized photos on the outer flaps (six total) and a 3.5x4 photos in the middle sections (room for 9 photos). This is a great little brag book to carry around. It is compact J

Short but sweet! Thanks again for stopping by, Krafthead~

Hello Krafters!

Welcome to day three to the dedication to Teacher’s Appreciation Week. Remember it is next week! Today I am revisiting a project I did once before. I love making Posted Note Holders. I thought it was only fitting to do one for the teachers. They always need to jot down something right?

This measures 3.25” x3.25” once assembled-there is a .25” inch gutter on both sides to allow room for the papers.

A quick and simple project for the teachers in your life! Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~

KISS Me?

Hello Krafters!

Hey, Krafthead, do I have my days mixed up or are you posting on a Tuesday? Rest assure, today is Tuesday, May 1^st! LOL! I know I usually don’t post on Tuesdays but this is a special week J. And no I don't want you to kiss me. I will explain! This day two of my dedication to Teacher’s Appreciation Week which is next week! For these cards, I decided to mass produce and K.I.S.S (Kept It Simple Silly).

I used basic shapes in MTC to make a pencil shape. I copied and welded two pieces together to form the card base. I cut the layers from the basic shapes (unwelded). I used the Me & My Big Ideas School pack for the papers. I used a pinkish pattern from the stack to replicate an eraser, another sheet for the pencil part and Core’nations Textured Canvas for the lead.

That is it! I have so much on my plate, so KISS was the way to go J Thanks for stopping by, Krafthead~
