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!

Butterfly Wishes

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset and Spring is nearing my neck of the woods with flowers and trees blooming, warm air is returning, and soon the butterflies will too! Which inspired me to create these gorgeous butterfly projects with Craft Fantastic products that I'm sharing with you today. These images are wonderfully detailed and so very colorful for any occasion and see how to personalize with collage words too!

Let's get started:

1.  Choose from hundreds of images and click on the links and follow along. Today we're using Butterflies and Collage Words. Choose your butterfly and a word, cut it out, add a drop of Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of the word, and adhere to the butterfly image. You have a little time to move it around in place and position it just where you want it. Wipe away any excess glue, and allow a couple minutes to dry.

2.  Once dry. Add a few drops of Fantastic Glaze & Glue on the back of an X Large Glass Squares and press onto the whole butterfly image until set. Wipe off any excess glue around the edges with a Q-tip.

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

4.  Because this piece is Extra Large, adhere glass images with several Fantastic Super Sticky Dots. About 4-5 dots are recommended.

5.  Remove red sticky dot backing and place glass image into an Extra Large Square Silver Tray.

Just add a chain and here's a close up of this gorgeous butterfly collage pendant. 

My next project is this stunning monarch butterfly pendant.

Follow the same Steps 1-5 above, but we're using the Extra Large Glass Rounds and the Extra Large Round Trays in Silver or Antique Brass. I love them both, don't you?

Here is a closer look. I love the script background, the realistic details, and you could certainly add some sparkle, but it's pretty stunning just by itself. Just add a chain and your complete.

Voila! There you have a few unique gorgeous pendants ready as special gifts for upcoming events like Mother's Day, Graduation, or Weddings. Or keep a few for yourself with just a few supplies. The possibilities are truly endless! Thanks for stopping by!
