Hello Everyone!

Hello, hello, hello,

It's been awhile since I've been here. I'm about to get back into the swing of all that's crafty. So look for some things posted soon.

I think you will like all that you're going to see.

Happy Crafting,

Merry Pattern card

Hello Everyone,

Wow, has it been awhile. I’ve been creating lately and keep forgetting to post the pics here. You can also see them on my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/Northern-Girl-Crafts

This one was a fun one to make, I can’t wait to use the rest of the stamps in the set. I’ll post a few more pics from previous Christmas cards.

Merry Patterns stamp set

Old Olive cardstock

Real Red cardstock

Whisper White cardstock

Red Glimmer paper

Christmas Around the World DSP

Real Red 1/8” Solid Ribbon

Old Olive card base is 5 1/2” x 8 1/2

Red Glimmer paper is 5 1/4” x 4”

Christmas Around the World DSP is 5 x 3 3/4”

Base for the Real Red is 5” x 2 1/2”

Whisper White is measured just a bit smaller than that. Sorry I can’t remember the exact measurement on the whisper white. Of course it’s preference to how big or small you want them. 

I also used the Layering Circles for the candles and popped it up with Stampin’ dimensionals.

I had so much fun using this set. If you don’t have this set, you can use any Christmas set to get the same look. 

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Hello

Hello my fellow crafty friends! It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. Life got very busy and just have not found the time to be in my craftroom to make anything. I'm hoping to be back in my craftroom so I can post some projects for you. As always, thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Another Year!

Hello Everyone,

Wow! It's been so long since I've been on here. We moved to a new town, and with that it felt like the organization of things were never going to get organized. We had to get rid of things as we moved in and realized we really no longer needed them, so we donated most of our things and sold a couple of them. After being in our new place 10 months, it was time that I started looking for a job and since the business was hiring for the holidays I decided that even if they chose not to keep me on, it was extra money. So after the long and busy holiday season I was officially hired in and have been there for the last year.

Since the Holiday Season is one of those busy times for us and since working so much I  kind of lost my groove for awhile.  I didn't really have much time in the last year to make anything. I kept telling myself that I needed to get up to my craftroom and make some stuff. I did make some birthday cards recently that I will post for you as well as a huge snowflake that I will gladly share pictures of, but haven't found the time to hang it in the big picture window of my house yet.  With the Holiday coming to an end soon I will have some time off coming up, and hope to be able to get back to crafting.

Well without further ado, the pictures are below:

Well that's all for me for now! Happy Crafting and hopefully I will be back with more soon.

Hello

Hello Everyone,

It's been awhile since I've posted anything due to relocating my craftroom in the house. I'm still putting things away and getting things how I want them. I hope to be back crafting very soon as I'm missing my crafty stuff.

Happy Crafting,
Kat

Halloween Decor

Good Morning everyone,

It's finally that time of year and as you scroll down you can see that I have been working on some Halloween Projects, my favorite time of year. I just love Fall, the trees are beautiful, we have decent weather (to some degree), it's usually quite cold this time of year but it's been in the 50's. It's definitely been a strange year with the weather. At some point I think we totally skipped spring and went right to summer although our summer wasn't that hot. So here it is Fall and everything is beautiful and in color, so with that said I have a Halloween Decor item for you. I definitely had fun making this, so without further ado.

With this I used a couple different halloween cricut cartridges, and you can totally add to this whatever you would like. If interested I used Chic and Scary. I dazzled up the spider and web and used stickles for those. The paper I used is from My Mind's Eye Paper pad Haunted, it's an old one I purchased from Michael's a year or so ago. That's all for me today, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it. Have a great day and I'll be back tomorrow with another project.

Happy Crafting,
Kat

Volleyball Locker Magnets

Good Morning Everyone,

It's Thursday and for today's project I made 21 Volleyballs for a friend for her daughter's and her friends locker's at school. I even made one for her mom. This is the second time that she has requested I make something for her. The first time I made Basketballs and Soccer balls for her. So I will see if I can find those pics and post them here as well. So without further ado, here is my project. These are only a few, as taking a picture of all them together just did not work. I used my Cricut which I haven't used in awhile, the only thing holding me back was my mats, they just weren't sticky enough and then I remember seeing a video on My Pink Stamper about making your mats sticky again, so I thought I would give a try. I didn't clean my mats, I just used my 2 Way Glue pen and went over the whole mat and then waited for it to completely dry before using it. I thought I would have an issue with the cardstock sticking to the mat and it ruining the cardstock. I didn't have any trouble. I didn't just rip the cardstock off the mat, but gently pulled it off. It worked like a charm. With putting the glue on you'll want to go in one continued motion and direction and do this until your mat is completely covered. I'll put a link to the video so you can see for yourself. For my project I used the Sports Mania cricut cartridge and My Creative Time Stitched 4 x 6 Journal Dies (only used the numbers), Social Media Dies, Uppercase Fun Dies and the Lowercase Fun Dies for the letters

That's all for me today, as always thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a great day.

Happy Crafting,

Happy Fall!

Happy Tuesday Everyone! For my card today I used a number of items. This card was so much fun to make. It's just recently turned colder here and the leaves are starting to change.

Card size is 4-1/4 by 5-1/2.

Happy Birthday To You!

Happy Monday Morning to you! I created this as a request, but it never made it to the person as this was not exactly what she was looking for. Sometimes when making a card for someone it doesn't always turn out what the other person has envisioned, but none the less, I think it still turned out pretty cute. She was looking for a little more bang, like fireworks and I didn't have anything with fireworks. The size is 4-1/4 by 5-1/2. Everything I used is posted below the picture.

My Creative Time:

Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies
