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!

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!

Best Fishes Masculine Birthday Card

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing another masculine project using these vintage looking typewriter letters from Craft Fantastic as a sentiment on my Dad's birthday card. You can see how versatile these products are on cards, scrapbook layouts, jewelry, key chains, planners, and more.

Let's get started:

I chose several scrap pieces from different nautical collections that I've been saving over the years. And did a little layering until I liked the design and adhered it to the card base.

I found using a 1" square punch kept all the Typewriter Keys Letters the same size and then adhered them to the card in a crossword like pattern with the Super Sticky Dots.

I came across an anchor die cut piece that I trimmed down to resemble a fishing hook. Added some bakers twine for the fishing line. Then added this silver dragonfly charm to resemble a shiny fishing lure. Because there are some amazing looking lures out there. Right?  I added a Super Sticky Dot on the back of the metal charm to adhere it in place.

Voila! Another great project using card making supplies and scraps, along with these wonderful Craft Fantastic  products, because they're not just for jewelry making anymore. Try them for yourself and you'll see. The possibilities are truly endless for so many craft projects!
