Holiday Bracelet Gift Idea

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset and the season of giving has begun. I grabbed a few affordable jewelry kits and I'm making customized holiday gifts using these amazing Craft Fantastic products. I love how you can monogram, add a name, pick out special charms, or use beautiful images to personalize each handmade gift. Follow along and I'll show you just how easy it really is.

Let's get started...

I had a couple of monthly kits on hand and chose this Twist Bracelet Kit in antique brass, because I like the vintage look and you get a lot of pieces to get you started. It is beautiful as is, but I took it a few steps further to personalize it with some special pieces to make it unique for my mom. All supplies listed below.

Next choose your images. That's the hardest part, because they are all so beautifully designed.  I love these holiday image sheets with the poinsettias and sheet music, an angel, and the children seemed fitting for my mom.

The bracelet kit comes with 5 glass pieces and 5 trays. Take a small glass round, add a few drops of Glaze & Glue and place over the image. Press gently and hold for a couple minutes until set. Wipe away any excess glue around the edges with a q-tip. Allow to dry for a few minutes and cut out. Repeat for all 5 round holiday images. 

For the heart piece I chose my moms initial from the alphabet image sheet. I cut the word "mom" out from the collage word sheet and glued it onto the letter "H" image with a dab of Glaze & Glue. Wait a couple minutes to dry or it will distort your glass if wet. 

Then take a medium heart glass piece, add a few drops of Glaze & Glue and place over the whole image. Press gently and hold for a couple minutes until set. Wipe away any excess glue around the edges with a q-tip. Allow to dry for a few minutes and cut out.

Now all the assembling fun begins...

I lay everything out and keep it in piles to stay organized. 

For the blue bling shown above, I chose my moms birthstone, added a Super Sticky Dot to an antique butterfly tray, remove red backing, and place the bling into the tray and press gently to set. 

Next line up all your images, charms, and trays to see what configuration you want. 

Take all 5 antique round twist trays and an antique brass heart tray, add Super Sticky Dots to each tray, remove red backing, and place the images into the trays and press gently to set for a secure fit. (as shown above)

Using a pair of pliers, attach each tray to each other with small jump rings. 

Then I added a few of my favorite charms for a dash of holiday charm and special meaning, that I attached with small jump rings and a pair of pliers. Attached the lobster clasp and a couple of large jump rings from the kit to each end of the bracelet with pliers so it will close and this special holiday gift is ready to wrap. 

Voila! There you have a uniquely personalized holiday bracelet that is sure to please anyone on your list this holiday season. And I hope I've inspired you to grab a Kit-of-the-Month or two to give as gifts and create something fantastic!

One of a Kind Holiday Cards

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset and the holidays are soon upon us and as a card maker, I'm busy working on holiday cards to mail out soon. So today I thought I'd share a couple of ideas on how to use your Craft Fantastic products in your card making and create special one of a kind holiday cards your friends and family will swoon over!

Let's get started. Gather all your supplies together, like an assembly line to make several cards at once. And to make it easier I used these gorgeous Luxe-Line cards and envelopes set in off-white as the base of my cards. Which are found in the Craft Fantastic shop, but let me tell you, these cards are beautiful, elegant, and very sturdy quality.

Next I die cut blue panels from patterned paper with a scallop stitched die cut that is 1/4" larger than the luxe card base. Then I came across this free vintage holiday sheet music "here" online and printed them on regular copy paper. They already had a vintage ivory color to them, but I inked around the edges to give it a wintery blue look. Cut it out with a stitched die cut and trimmed to fit. Adhered to blue card panel with several super sticky dots.

Added this rustic twine to frame the sheet music panel and adhered with Glaze & Glue. It drys really quick and worked really well. Then I chose these precious Craft Fantastic holiday images, cut them out, and adhered in the corners with Glaze & Glue. 

Adhered blue panel to luxe card base with several super sticky dots. And attached a little floral holiday bundle in each corner with a super sticky dot to complete these special cards. 

Tip: Use a bubble mailer envelope or a small box to mail thick cards.

Voila! There you have special one of a kind holiday cards made with Craft Fantastic products and a few of your card making supplies. I hope I've inspired you to play with your supplies, mix and match, and check out other images to see what else you can make! But these are so precious, I just might frame them and give as gifts or hang them on my wall for all to see!

Also take a peak at the new Kit-of-the-Month to get a lot of projects made for the holidays or any upcoming special occasions at a reasonable price. The possibilities are truly endless with these amazing Craft Fantastic products! Leave us a comment and tell us what your making and share with us. Thanks for stopping by! Happy Holidays!

Personalized Holiday Gift Ideas

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a special monogrammed pendant I created using a clear alphabet stamp set and Craft Fantastic products for a personalized touch. See how easy it is to make a bunch of these in a flash for everyone on your list this holiday season. 

Let's get started...

Using an alcohol marker friendly ink, stamp your alphabet letter on thin white cardstock made for alcohol markers, so it won't bleed or peel apart. Color away using your favorite alcohol markers. And I allowed it to dry thoroughly overnight, so the color wouldn't bleed out of the edges. 

Tip: Using alcohol markers instead of water color markers, allows the color to set permanently, so the image won't bleed when you add the liquid Glaze & Glue over the top. 

Take an XL glass square, add several drops of Glaze & Glue and place over the stamped alphabet letter. Press gently and hold for a couple minutes until set. Wipe away any excess glue around the edges with a q-tip. Allow to dry for a few minutes. 

I chose this stunning XL antique silver tray for this project, but it does require several Super Sticky Dots for a secure hold with larger pieces. Remove red backing and place the alphabet glass image into the tray and press gently all over to set the corners and center for a secure fit. 

Added a couple of my favorite charms for a dash of good luck and a sparkle of holiday charm, that I attached with small jump rings and a pair of pliers. And added a stunning silver chain to complete this wonderful holiday gift. 

Voila! There you have a uniquely personalized holiday pendant that is sure to please anyone on your holiday gift giving list this season. I hope I've inspired you to play with your stamps and use them in your jewelry projects too! And be sure to check out our other charms and images to see what else you can make!

Meaningful Words Gift Ideas

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a wonderful way to capture meaningful words that describe somebody special using these amazing antique silver pieces from Craft Fantastic.  With the holidays sneaking up on us, you maybe starting to think about special gifts you can make and these are very affordable. So, follow along as I show you a unique way to send a special message or express your feelings and capture them forever.

Let's get started...

1. Choosing from hundreds of Craft Fantastic images is always the hardest part. And usually you see my collage projects where I cut out 1-2 words, but for this project I chose to use a section of words already on the word collage sheet.

I made this necklace for my Aunt and these words were all very personal to me and very descriptive of her. But don't fret if it doesn't easily work out that way, you can certainly cut the words apart, group together, and glue onto another sheet and make a collage of something similar. 

2. I added a few drops of iridescent glitter glue to give it some sparkle. Allow time to dry so the glitter doesn't stick to your glass and obstruct your view of the words. Can you see the sparkles?

3. Once dry, add several drops of Glaze & Glue onto an XL Glass Round and place over the word image, and press gently for a few minutes until set. Wipe off any excess glue around the edges with a Q-tip. Allow a few minutes to dry.

4. Once dry, cut around the glass and cut out the word image. Next I chose a stunning XL antique silver tray to give it a classy timeless look.

I was going to add this small square image tray to this project too, which is why it's pictured here, but I changed my mind. Better to make too many choices than not enough. And I'll use it for another gift.

5. Adhere several Fantastic Super Sticky Dots to the tray, because you'll want to use more dots on the larger trays. Remove red sticky dot backings and place the glass word image in the tray. And press gently to set.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 above to create the letter "g" in this project, which reminds me of an old vintage typewriter text. Cool, right? Once dry, place glass letter image in this small, but very classy looking tray. And press gently to set.

7. Attach the silver angel wing charm with a small jump ring and pliers. And add all three pieces to a beautiful silver chain to complete.

These angel wings are one of my favorite charms. Aren't they beautiful? You've probably seen me use them on several of my projects. I just can't help it, they remind me of guardian angels watching over that special person. I just love them!

Voila! There you have an incredibly meaningful gift idea for that somebody special on your holiday gift giving list. I hope I've inspired you to use your words and spread kindness this Holiday Season and all year long!

Tag-tastic Packages

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a few tag-tastic ideas to jazz up your holiday packages using your paper crafts and Craft Fantastic products. Still wrapping? No problem. See how easy these tags are to make in a flash.

I used this extra large tag punch to cut out a whole bunch of tags pretty quickly. But you can certainly use whatever you have, like die cuts or cutting machines, or pre-cut tags, or other shapes too! And look at these amazing images from Craft Fantastic...you can make over ten tags just from this one holiday sheet. Just think what you can make all year long for other occasions with their many other images too!

I punched several tags from solid cardstock and this fun holiday plaid patterned paper, layered them, and adhered together with Super Sticky Dots. Or this is a great way to use up your paper scraps too! 

Next I selected a few of my favorite holiday images, cut them out, and adhered to the tags with Super Sticky Dots. 

Then punch a hole in each tag at the top. Add a touch of glitter glue here and there for sparkle and a few snowflakes for some holiday flair. And finish them with some festive holiday ribbon. 

And you can customize your tags, like this one I combined a couple of our newest image sheets Painting Inspiration and Tea Time for somebody who loves tea. And cut each image out with a scallop square punch and adhered together with Super Sticky Dots.  All of these tags came together pretty quickly and you too can make a whole bunch in less than an hour with just a few supplies.

Voila! It's tag-tastic! And now you have several unique and special gift tags to decorate all of your holiday packages in a flash using your paper craft supplies and Craft Fantastic products. The possibilities are endless!

Unique Holiday Gifts for Teens + Gamers

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a few gift ideas for pre-teens, teenagers, or the gamers on your holiday shopping list. I have four kids and it gets harder and harder every year to find unique gifts for kids. Until I came across their Pokémon cards last week and it struck me, that I could make some really special holiday gifts using Craft Fantastic products.

I know...cutting up their Pokemon cards is blasphemy, (lol) but first I made sure they were duplicate cards, so they wouldn't get mad at me. Or you can print photo copies. See video "here" on that process.

Gather up all your supplies and let's get started...

1. Choose an image. Add several drops of Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of a Medium Glass Round. Press onto image until set. Wipe off any excess glue with a Q-tip.

2. Cut around the glass and cut out the image.

3. Next choose a tray. I decided on these fun Medium Round Duo Side Charm Trays in silver, so I could use more than one image. I think the kids will have fun flipping it back and forth to see the different images.

4. Lastly, adhere the glass images to the tray with a Fantastic Super Sticky Dot.

Voila! There you have several unique and special gift ideas or stocking stuffers for girls and boys or the gamers in your life. I had lots of fun making necklaces, key rings, bangles, earrings, and more. I can even see them on my kids backpacks as zipper pulls too! Even my husband hinted he wants a Pokemon key ring now too! So, I know, your kids or gamers will LOVE these!

Special Holiday Cards

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing a few tips on how to use Craft Fantastic products in your card making and create special holiday cards in a flash. 

Let's get started. Gather all your supplies. To make the process faster and easier I used these gorgeous NEW Luxe-Line cards/envelopes set in off-white as the base of all my cards.  And let me tell you, these cards are beautiful and a nice sturdy cardstock. 

Tip: I used three 4x6 scrapbooking journaling cards as card panels or backgrounds to create these cards. 

=> My first journal card didn't need much, as it had a nice pattern. It had a snowflake circle printed in the center that was the same size for a Medium Glass Round. And this Santa from the Christmas Image sheet is the perfect embellishment.

1.  Cut red cardstock 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" to create a matte or border and adhere journal card to matte panel. Then adhere panel to luxe card base.

2.  Choose an image. Add several drops of Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of a glass round. Press onto image until set. Wipe off any excess glue with a Q-tip.

3.  Cut image out. Adhere glass image onto journaling card with a Fantastic Super Sticky Dot. 

4.  Cut and adhere Alphabet Images sentiment tiles with sticky dots or glue glaze. 

I used a date stamp in the center of the card for more holiday personalization. 

=> My second journal card had the perfect space for a Glass Rectangle and this little girl from the Christmas Image Sheet made for a precious embellishment.

Follow Same Steps 1-3 above to create this card.

This girl image was smaller than the glass, so I adhered it to a piece of red cardstock to have it fit the glass rectangle. 

4. Cut and adhere alphabet sentiment tiles with super sticky dots and collage word images were adhered with glue glaze. 

5. Adhere a little floral holiday bundle with a super sticky dot to finish this card. 

=> My third journal card had the perfect pattern to display a special handmade gift. 

1. Cut red cardstock 4 1/4" x 6 1/4" to create a matte or border and adhere journal card to matte panel. Adhere to luxe card base. Punch out two holes in the top and bottom. 

=> Create this special gift with a Faux Leather Bracelet Kit (includes faux leather straps, glass & trays to make six bracelets)

2.  This Santa is from the Christmas Image Sheet. Add several drops of glue glaze on the back of a medium glass round (included in kit). Press onto image until set. Wipe off any excess glue with a Q-tip.

3.  Cut image out. Adhere glass image onto silver tray with a super sticky dot. 

4. Detatch faux leather straps and loop through tray on both sides.

5.  Pull leather strap through the loop and pull taught on both sides.

6. Place each end of the bracelet through the two holes on the front of the card and clasp bracelet together to attach to the inside of the card.

7.  Cut and adhere image alphabet sentiment tiles with super sticky dots. 

Voila! There you have three very easy and beautiful holiday cards for the special people in your life using card making or scrapbooking supplies along with these wonderful Craft Fantastic products. Because they really aren't just for jewelry making anymore. The possibilities are truly endless! Thanks for stopping by! Happy Holidays!
