And Now For Something A Little Different

Hi All! Today I am bringing you something a little different! Summer for me means some quality time with my family and one of the things we love to do as a family is craft together. My youngest daughter and I had a bit of parallel play. We each picked out a printers tray from our local craft store. If you haven't played with a printers tray before they are great fun. You can use them for more of a multiple picture photo frame, or as a memory tray or to tell a story, really anything, and that is what makes this a great project!

How did we do these, here is a simple step by step for you!

1. Measure out the sections of the tray and pick any type of paper that you would like for your background. I chose several different patterned papers to add a bit of interest. Next using  your favorite adhesive, adhere your background paper to the tray.
2. I decided to use my Bright Butterflies Image Sheet to create a butterfly theme for my project. I then decided on six different pendant trays and matching jewelers glass and using Fantastic Glaze and Glue adhered my glass to my images from the Bright Butterflies Image Sheet. I trimmed around the Jewelers Glass once it was dry and adhered the Jewelers Glass to the pendant trays using Fantastic Super Sticky Dots. (Southwest Tray, Large Glass Round, Oval Scroll Tray, Small Glass Oval, Medallion Tray. Twist Link Tray, Small Glass Round, Large Oval Pendant Tray, Large Oval Glass, Rectangle Pendant Tray, Glass Rectangle.)
3. As I then started to lay out what was going where I then pilled out some of my favorite Craft Fantastic charms. Once I had decided which ones I wanted to use, I then used a nippy cutter or wire cutter and snipped off the little piece where you would attach a jump ring from the various charms and pendant trays. Please note, when I snip off these little pieces, I tend to hold the snipper and the piece well into a garbage pail so that little piece doesn't go flying. Just my personal suggestion here.Also it is important to note, I didn't remove all of those little pieces. Some of the pendant trays have a pretty solid metal loop and for those I put a bow on them making it decorative.(Folk Heart Charm, Mini Bird Connector, Resin Flower Cabs, Butterfly Charm Collection, Key Medallion Tray, Lovebird Tray, Filigree Tray,
4. I then attached all my metal to the printers tray with double sided foam squares. I will have to see over time how well they stay stuck. I may at a later date go back and add to the adhesive if necessary.
5. As an additional finishing touch I added those cute little glass bottles with some glitter in them and some flowers around the edges of the printers tray and there you have it!

So what do you think? Do you like this project? Please comment and let me know!

Hugs,

Judy

Tropical Vacation Necklace

Hi everybody! Kim here from My Kraft Kloset sharing this beautiful tropical vacation necklace I made for a special friend who often travels to Hawaii. I used tropical patterned travel paper I found at a local scrapbooking store and these gorgeous antique brass products from Craft Fantastic.

  

Let’s get started: 

1.  Gather up all your supplies from these links:  

EXTRA LARGE ROUND PENDANT TRAY antique brass, XLARGE GLASS ROUNDS, 30" ROLO CHAIN antique brass, Fantastic Glaze & Glue, Fantastic Super Sticky Dots,  Q-tips, and Hawaiian patterned paper. 

2.  Choose your image. That's the hardest part. I found this Hawaiian patterned travel paper with these colorful hibiscus flowers to remind my friend of her travels and the gorgeous tropical landscape.  

3.  Next add several Fantastic Glaze & Glue droplets onto the back of an XL glass circle and place onto the flower images. Move your glass around to position your image, and add a little pressure to get any bubbles out. Hold in place for a couple minutes to set and let dry. 

4.  Once set, use a Q-tip to remove any excess glue around the edges of the glass. Cut around the glass and cut out the image.  Place 2-4 Fantastic Super Sticky Dots to the XL antique brass tray to secure it really good, peel off red backing, place glass into the tray, and press down to secure in place.  Add 30" antique brass chain for a nice draping effect. 

Voila! Another stunning handmade jewelry piece to remember those special vacation travels! Add a few charms and make it even more personalized to fit the occasion. I hope I’ve inspired you to try these wonderful Craft Fantastic products with your crafting supplies too, because the possibilities are truly endless!   

Please leave us a comment and let us know what you think, we’d love to hear from you.  

Thanks for stopping by!

How To Use Craft Fantastic To Personalize Your Supplies

Hello everyone!!  Kymona here from Kreative Kymona to show how to use Craft Fantastic to personalize your supplies.

How many times have you gone to a crop, a class, or just a place to craft and you had to bring your supplies with you?  How do you tell your scissors different from the other people sitting at your table? I have a super cool and stylish way to have your supplies stand out.

Take a look:

Yes, I used the Small Oval Duo-Side Tray from May's Kit of the Month and the Small Square Pendant Tray from June's Kit of the Month to personalize my scissors. This way no one could mistake them for theirs!  

Plus, it gives my scissors a super elegant look.  I love how the trays rattle against the scissors.  

These charms are so easy to create for your scissors or any other tool you want to personalize.

Here's how:

1. Decide on the trays you want to use.  

2. Add a sticky dot to the bottom of the tray.

3. Decide on the image you want to use.

4. Add Glaze & Glue to the glass and place the glass on top of the image.  

5. Press and hold the glass until the glue dries.

6. Cut around the glass to trim off excess paper.

7. Add the prepared glass inside the tray.

8. Choose the length of the chain and attach it to the scissors.

Super simple to create.

Lets take a closer look:

The Oval Tray is my favorite, because its has two sides.  So I can have both of my initials in one tray. 

So what do you think?  Aren't these charms just the cutest? Please let me know below.  I would love to hear from you!!

Mixed Media Canvas With Craft Fantastic

Hello All!

Just like many of you, I am a crafter. I love all kinds of crafting, and so today I am bringing you a mixed media canvas. I am using a standard 6 x 6 canvas, a bit of acrylic paint, one sheet of 6 x 6 paper, two sheets of 4 x 6 paper, some ephemera, gel medium, 1 Southwest Tray, 1 Extra Large Round Pendant Tray, 1 Watch Face Tray, 1 Large Glass Round, 1 Extra Large Glass Round, 1 Heart Key Tray, Fantastic Super Sticky Dots, and Fantastic Glaze and Glue.

1. Use the acrylic paint on the edges of the canvas and just enough to cover the front edges of the canvas.
2. Use your gel medium to cover the back of the 6 x 6 piece of paper and adhere to the front of the canvas. I did like the look of a not perfect edge so I did tear the edges of the paper before I adhered it to the canvas. Then use a bit more of the gel medium to seal the paper to the canvas.
3. Next trim down one of the 4 x 6 papers just a bit to fit the canvas to your liking. Again use your gel medium to attach to the canvas.

4. Continue to adhere your ephemera to your canvas with gel medium.
5. Now I chose to put one of my ephemera pieces under glass as well as an image that was on the other 4 x 6 paper. So use Fantastic Glaze and Glue on the flat side of your glass and adhere to your images. Hold until they grip. Once they are dry, trim any edges as necessary. Then using jewelers dots adhere the pieces in to the pendant trays.
6. Finally, use your gel medium to adhere the trays and the key to the front of the canvas.

And there you have your final project!
