Happy Birthday Card

 I don't normally make cards. So today I decided for Through The Craft Room Door design team project I would make a Birthday card for my mom. I used the digital Winnie Celebration 3 by Polkadoodles. First I colored her in mainly green and yellow because my mom is a huge packer fan. Then I picked out some green scrapbooking paper. I grabbed/glued some torn book page and food coloring dyed paper for in back of the digital. I glued the digital. I stamped Happy Birthday to napkin backing and mod podge it near the digitals feet. I may end up wanting to change that bit not sure yet. Lastly I added Stickles to add some other color than green and yellow.

I grabbed 2 different bags an old trick or treat bag 4 inches by 6 1/2 inches and small brown bag 3 1/2inches by 6 5/6 inches. I glued old book page as a base on each bag. Then added the "On Air" Digital Stamp from The Paper Shelter to each bag.  Then I decorated the bags with some words and ribbons.

Carols

 For my project for Through the Craft Room Door I repurposed and old sewing pattern. I sewed around a  5 by 7 piece of sewing pattern. Then I glued some old fabric and eyelet trim. I colored, cut and glued Caroling digital from Jans Digital Stamps. I felt like the right side was too blank. So I added some red ribbon and it still looked a little blank. I decided to punch a hole into the sewing pattern add a grommet pin. I then used The Paper Outpost idea on decorating a safety pin with beads and fabric. I added the word Carols to the fabric to add  some touches to the digital.

Altered Christmas Playing Cards

 For the design team project this month for Through The Craft Room Door is OddBall Art.  First I pulled out some playing cards. I add some texture paste with a stencil. I mod podged some white backing from a napkin. I colored the digital Digital Download Printable Stamp Santa Baby Christmas Unicorn Image No 464.  I cut out the unicorn and words. I glued some background fabric and lace to add some dimension. Last but not least I glued the unicorn and words. As a side note they work perfectly as magnets. I had some kids home from school this week perfect christmas presents for family and easy to send in the mail.

I printed and colored with colored pencils the digital. Then cut and glued it onto a thick piece of mail. I glued and added a coffee dyed piece and stamped/ colored stamped rose piece of fabric. I also glued a piece of cream colored construction paper as backing.

Off With Your Head Altered Index Card

 This week for Through the Craft Room Door I choose 

Digital Stamp Big Eye Alice In Wonderland Stamp Queen for the Day Image No. 326. First, I printed and colored with gel pens the digital stamp. Then picked out a coffee dyed jumbo index card and a galaxy stencil. I used black soot mini distress ink to make the galaxy stencil background onto the index card. Then I cut my stamp and placed it onto the index card where I thought it should be. I decided a bit of coffee dyed fabric would add a little texture to the words.  I glued all the pieces where I wanted them and added stickles around some of them.
