Design Team Project 2 by Astrid featuring MME

Here are a couple of further little project showing some ideas of how the wonderful My Mind's Eye Kraft Funday Collection and coordinating embellishments can be used.

This Kraft Card is so strong that it spells craft projects to me. As my DT colleagues have shown so many cards already and with Christmas now just around the corner, here are a couple of little gift ideas: A cone (I will provide a template below), and a little candle holder.

Here is the cone which you can fill with little sweet treats.

I cut the template out of one of the papers, glued and folded it together and glued a doily on the inside. I then embellished using some die cuts, little roses and some of the brads from the "Everyday Fun Decorative Brads" (KFD117)

Here is a template for the cone. You can size it to whatever size you want of course.

The second project is a little candle holder

I made a box out of a 6 x 6 piece of one of the papers, cut a hole in the center with a Spellbinders Nestability circle die and glued it onto a doily die cut (also Spellbinders)I inked the edges with Vintage Photo distress ink and used some more of the brads, a ribbon and some punched out leaves to decorate.

Well, that's it from me for this month.

Wishing you all a wonderful Christmas!!

DT Team Project 1 by Astrid featuring MME

Well, these last few days have certainly been busy here with my fellow DT team members showing some amazing cards and projects featuring the wonderful My Mind's Eye Ktaft Funday Collection, Stamps and Embellishments. The Kraft paper is so strong that I decided to make a gift box out of it for my first project.

I used my Crafter's Companion Ultimate Pro to make my box but there are hundreds of tutorials all over the internet on how to make such simple boxes.
1 of the 12 x 12 papers ("In Print" KFD 106) from the collection made the basic box and lid, it measures 4 x 6".
I then chose one of the other papers (Ziggity Paper KFD 112), cut it to 5 3/4 by 3 3/4",distressed the edges and inked them with Vintage Photo distress ink. I swiped some gesso over the middle section I then added some more pattern and texture back to the paper by using two of the stamps from the "Happy Days Stamps (KFD 143)in Archival Coffee. I then glued some dark red ribbon from my stash along the bottom.

Next I used one of my Spellbinder dies to cut the snow flake shape out of the same paper, inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink and glued it onto the ribbon. Using one of the stamps from the "Everyday Fun Stamps"(KFD 139) I stamped in Dovecraft Perimium white ink and embossed with white embossing powder. I punched a circle around it and glued it to the center of the snowflake.

Finally I embellished with some roses from my stash, a bradfrom the embellishment set KFD 117 and some buttons from the KFD 113 set.

The little tag was punched from the Ziggety paper, and stamped with other stamps from the sets.

All of these very versatile papers, stamps and embellishments are of course available from Snazzy's and as you can see can easily be adapted for Christmas projects

I just want to take this opportunity to say a big 'Thank You' to Val and Don for asking me to be a part of their Design Team - Ive had a terrific time but due to personal circumstances I've had to step down....also a big thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment on my projects, it's been very much appreciated.

So, on with the cards....

Card One

I've used the MME paper called 'Ziggity', the dots are a stamp from the 'Everyday Fun' stamp set, the wording is a stamp from the 'Happy Days' stamp set and finally, the brad is from the decorative brad set but Ive coloured the zigzag edged circle it came with, with white paint...also Ive edged the paper with white paint too.

Card Two

Ive used the dotty stamp again but with Versafine 'Smokey Grey' ink, as well as using the words 'Celebrate' and 'Today' which also come from the 'Everyday Fun' stamp set, plus Ive used 3 brads from the 'Decorative Brad' set.
