Card and Tag Making: Harry Potter Themed




Card and Tag Making: Harry Potter Themed



Here are the cards and tags that I made to go with the Harry Potter themed care package that I sent to hubby.



The Cards:

For the cards, I kept them rather simple.  I used pre-made card bases and added lettering to complete the cards.  I used a few puns of lines and characters that I love.  I didn't make as many themed cards as I normally do. But I supplemented the box with other cards and notes.





I honestly had more fun with the envelopes. Oops.  On the main part of the card, I wrote "Owl Post, deliver to:" and then wrote some funny descriptions of where he is deployed to.  Basically, it's a great way to make a sarcastic flex of your OPSEC muscles.  On the upper right hand corner, I layered three postage style stamps.  





On the back of the envelope, I, again, layered three different postage themed stamps.  By now you
know I can't help myself when it comes to envelopes. 




The Tags:

For these, I wanted to make one for each Hogwarts house.  I used three separate papers for the tags to add a bit of character. Also, because I got carried away, surprise.




The papers I used were tea dyed book text tags, colored cardstock, and premade translucent tags.  I didn't glue anything together for these, even though the colored card stock and book text could have been glued together.




The text on the tags correspond to what they're attached to in the care package.

For the Ravenclaw (blue) tag, it says "Found in Library, try not to let it happen again."  This was attached to the Mini Book of Mini Monsters. 

For the Slytherin (green) tag, it says "Handle with Care, Basilisk Eggs."  This was attached to green mint chocolate chip cookies. 

For the Gryffindor (red) card, it says "Open in case of Dementor attack."  This was attached to a small packet that had pictures and a chocolate bar. 

For the Hufflepuff (yellow) card, it says, and this is my favorite, "Hufflepuff's Finest Doodles." It was attached to snickerdoodles.




I finished off the tags with a two toned cotton twine. I definitely loved making these tags and I normally don't have the inkling to make tags.



Happy creating, and happy card making!

Book Making: Magazine Junk Journal

Image
Book Making: Making a Junk Journal It may be no surprise that I love art journals and junk journals. So I decided to make my own junk journal from scratch, well, from scrap magazine pages. For the main body of the journal, I'm using magazine pages that are glued two together. I then folded the new pages in half and put them into signatures of 4 each. I punched holes into the signatures about an inch apart.  After waxing the embroidery floss, I stitched the signatures together.  For the cover, I was going to use the cover an architecture magazine as it's thicker, but I ended up using two sheets of cut down 12 by 12 inch paper.  I liked the idea of using white paper so that I can properly have my way with the covers.  I can't wait to add gesso and paint and anything else my heart desires to these new pages. Happy creating, and happy paper crafting! For business inquires, contact me at: Kri

Christmas Mini Quilts - Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters

Christmas Mini Quilts Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters I've had a stack of five Christmas fat quarters for longer than I'd like to admit. Too many ideas filtered through my head until I finally decided on trying to get the most out of the fabric.  Since the pattern isn't specific to the holidays, this can be applied to any set of fabric. I cut all five fat quarters into four inch strips, and then into 4 inch squares, keeping all scraps to the side.  From this I separated them out first into the larger table runner using 36 squares, and arranging them into a rectangle of 4 by 9.  I decided to go with an angled pattern for the layout, but you could also place them randomly.  The finished size is 13 inches by 29 inches. This one fits well on the coffee table and the dining room table. I then layed out four rectangular place mats using 12 squares each.  I used a similar pattern layout as the table runner.  In fact, I keep this part the s

Red, White, and Blue - 4 Years in the Making.

Image
As many quilters can tell you, sometimes, quilts take a long time to come to completion. This red, white, and blue quilt is no different.  This one began in late 2012, after a heart breaking death, which I won't go into on here. I poured over so many star patterns on-line, trying to pick the ones I liked, ones that would be "good enough" for the red, white, and blue quilt I wanted to make. I ended up saving over 60 images of quilt star patterns and began trying to arrange them into a pattern via photoshop and many, many sketches. Nothing I liked worked, which made my determination grow.  Eventually I came to like a few certain stars, and drafted them myself on graph paper.  I enjoy drafting out patterns and blocks this way, as I'm a visual person.  I also did this, so that the measurements were to my liking. Next came finding the fabric which also took a long time. I adore glitter, but did not want any glittered fabrics for thi
