My Sheri Crafts #119


September 27 is Native American Day and Design Team sister, Peachy, had asked us to make any project inspired by the Native American culture.  My original idea was to download an image to use on a birthday card, however, upon browsing through many pictures on the internet... I saw a lot of dream catchers.  So here is my first attempt at making a dream catcher and I made the card to frame it with





I went to JoAnn's to get the leather strips and feathers.  The hoop is actually one of my kid's plastic toy bracelet... shhhhh... I'm sure they won't miss it!  The webbing is actually DMC cross-stitching floss and the beads were something I already had.  I made the card simply as a base to give the dream catcher as a gift


Thanks for looking!

Now... it's your turn to create something spectacular and join us over at  My Sheri Crafts


Card size: 5.5" x 8.5"

Other supplies used:

Cricut cartridge: Stamping (Dream)

  3. Beautiful, Raq! I had dreamcatcher on my mind for the challenge, but that's as far as the idea got. Your's is perfect and I like the torn blue piece you put behind it. Great accent!

  4. Raquel, your dream catcher is FABULOUS -- really LOVE it -- your creativity shines here!!!
    No jewelry for the dolls yet, but made a pair of 'skinny jeans' today -- LOTS of work -- LOL! Need a better top before I post them though (and maybe jewelry?)!

  9. How creative! Love how you thought outside the box and made the dream catcher not only to adorn the card but to be taken off for a gift!! ~Kim http://kimsscrapbookaddiction.blogspot.com/
