Follow A Sketch at The Kraft Journal

Hello, my crafty friends!  I'm back again today with my Design Team project for this week's new challenge at The Kraft Journal.  Our theme for this week is to "Follow Any Sketch".  You can use any of the sketches that our Design Team Members have used, or find one of your own that catches your eye and inspires you.  As long as you use a sketch to inspire you and use some Kraft (or items purchased at The Kraft Outlet) and you can play along with us!

I found this sketch on-line by doing a Google search for "card sketches with pocket".  I knew that I wanted to make a pocket, and so this is what I came up with for my sketch:

I started my project by using a Large Canvas Tag to create a pocket that holds a gift card. Next, I folded the bottom half of the Large Canvas Tag up to the top, and machine stitched it in place it to create a permanent pocket.  This is a great use of the Canvas Tag because it's always nice to have a pocket that holds a gift card, notes, photos, etc.  I created a tag for the pocket out of Lunch Bag Kraft Card Stock and decorated that with some Black & White Polka Dot Washi Tape snippets, and also tucked in a Scalloped Grungy Prim Tag for journaling.  The sentiment that I used is stamped on another piece of the Lunch Bag Kraft Card Stock, and the little flower has a Custom Fastener in its center.

 

Hobby Cutz Challenge Blog - Challenge #7 - Flowers/Roses - I love adding flowers or paper roses to my projects.  For this project, I added a Heidi Swapp black flower with a brad in the center.

 

Crafts and Me Challenge Blog - Challenge #134 - Lots of Layers - My sewing machine can attest to the fact that there are LOTS of layers here!  Since I doubled over the canvas tag AND added paper, washi tape and embellishments, there really are LOTS of lovely layers!

 

Aud Sentiments Challenge Blog - Challenge #81 - Friends - This is a little project that I made for a friend!

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek at this little project.  I hope that you will grab a brown paper lunch bag, some kraft paper, or some items from The Kraft Outlet and come play along in this week's Follow Any Sketch Challenge at The Kraft Journal.  We really would LOVE to have you play along with us for the chance to win a gift certificate to the store!

 

Have a wonderful day,
