10 years today!

10 years ago today I started my Krafted Keepsakes blog.  The time has gone quickly . . . . we’ve seen a lot of trends come and go.

Happy crafting and to the next 10 years!

Anniversary

Made for dear friends.

I have an unusual heart shaped die, which I used twice, once in white card and then again in purple.  I drew around the white cut piece on the card blank so that I knew where to place the purple pieces.  I used foam pads to mount the white card over the purple stripes.

Another thank you card

With more flamingos!

I don’t seem to be able to leave my flamingo die in the box.

Dance exam

We supported our friend at their dance exam.  I made a box card to celebrate their achievement.

Dies used: Sizzix thinlits plus, Card, Diorama Gatefold #660845;  the dancers are from the Xcut Build a Scene Ballroom #XCU503125 and a star punch.

Thank you time

As my regular readers know, DH and I are keen Ballroom and Latin dancers.  At the end of the dance season I make thank you cards for our dance teacher and the assistants.  This years cards were flower baskets.

The flowers were made using the Sizzix Thinlits flower scallop die #661788

Party flamingo

Flamingos are still very much on trend (thank goodness).

This cool fella makes for the perfect birthday card.  I had a lot of fun making this card.

A difficult one

I needed a card to cover more that one sentiment: get well, thinking of you, take care . . . . you get the idea.

I came up with the idea of a tea themed card, after all, a cup of tea is a good pick me up.
