Family Tee Shirts #2

Hello!
I hope you are having a lovely day.
Today I'm showing you some more of the shirts
I made for my family for Christmas 2024.
This shirt was for my son in law,
the grand kids love their Uncle Brad and
he is definitely a "funkle"
I made this one for my daughter in law, Sara.
She is a big Buffalo Bills fan and of course, 
Josh Allen is a favorite of ours.
I'm pretty proud of this one, as it was
quite a project to get the jumping Josh
just right.
This one was for my daughter, Kelsie.
She laughed when she saw it and loves it.
It's soooo her!
These are couple more 
Just Joshin' 
shirts I made after Christmas for Sara's Moms.
When they saw hers, they wanted their own,
so Sara had me make them for them.

Thanks for stopping in today,
I hope you enjoy what I have shown you
and are inspired in some way.
Come again soon,
you never know what you'll see on
Kristie Kreates.

Book Box for Danielle

Good day!
Today I'm showing you a project I made for a friend
for Christmas.  She is my partner at My Happy Place
and I wanted to make something for her home library.
I had this shadow box frame and came up with this idea.
You can see that there is glass on the front of it.
There is a cushioned fabric piece in the frame/box.
I designed all the pieces and cut them with my 
I used my tiny craft iron to iron on all the
pieces.
I put names onto the books.
Trixie Belden is the author that started her love of reading.
Trixie is also her puppy's name.
A Prayer for Owen Meany is her favorite book
and Janet Evanovich is one of her favorite authors
She is a big Buffalo Bills fan,
so I added Go Bills to the tea cup.
I'm really proud of how this project turned out
and she loved it too.
This is something she can hang on a wall or set on
a shelf or table.

Easter Cards

Hello crafty friends!
Since Easter is just around the corner, I thought
I'd show you the simple cards I made for my
grandkids last year.
I sketched out the shape of a "Peep" and
cut it with a fold at the top of the ears.
I used glitter paper to imitate the sugar on
the Peeps.
I mounted the Peeps onto a base and 
to open it, the Peep lifts up and I
stamped a sentiment inside.
I don't know why I don't have a picture of
the card open, but hopefully, you get the idea.
These were quick and easy cards to make
and the kids loved them.

Thanks for stopping by today,
I hope you have been inspired in some way.
Come again soon,
until then
make something unexpected.

Family Tee Shirts

Hello and welcome!
Today I have a few shirts to show you.
Every Christmas for the past few years, I've made
some shirts for my family.
These are 3 of the ones I made this past Christmas.
When I saw this idea, I had to make it for my son.
He has quite a beard and I knew he'd love it.
This is one I made for my grandson, Asher.
He is definitely "Seriously Handsome and Awesome"
I made this one for my husband, Dave.
He loves it and has worn it many times.
All these shirts were designed on my 
Shilhouette Design Studio program on my computer
and cut with my Silhouette Cameo from
I pressed the HTV onto the shirts with an iron.
I have a heat press, but have found that an iron 
works just as well and is much easier and more
convenient.

Thanks for stopping by today to check out what I've
been creating.
I hope you will come again soon.
Until then,
create something fun!
