SUStars March Blog Hop

You have most likely arrived here from Brenda's Stamping Corner. She had a cute baby announcement and the one thing I noticed was she even stamped the envelope. Way back in my early days of stamping, I did that. Now I seem to be rushing to finish a card to get it in the mail before the mailman comes and I overlook those added touches that show that extra bit of love.

I have two cards for you today. The first one uses the set Easter Blossoms. I originally passed on this set but I couldn't resist in the end. I wanted little flowers in the basket an the punch was too big so I cut out some from the branch that comes with the set. The card measures 6-5/8" x 3-3/8"

Stamps: Easter Blossoms
CS: So Saffron, Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze, WW
Ink: Poppy Parade, Baja Breeze
Misc.: Pearl Jewels, Itty bitty punch pals

The next card I made uses DP that will be available in the upcoming IB&C. When I was looking through the paper and saw this flower, I thought of the Blessed Mother set.

Stamps: Blessed Mother
CS: Not Quite Navy, Certainly Celery, Baja Breeze, WW, Paisley Petals DP
Markers: Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze, Certainly Celery
Misc.: Sm. oval punch, basic pearl jewels, 1/8" celery taffeta ribbon, square lattice EF

I hope you enjoyed this stop on the hop. Your next stop is Shari's Stamp Pad. She has a couple of WOW projects for you. If you need to go back to the SU-Stars home page for a complete list of all the stops, click here.

Christmas in July

Image
  Fall of 2015 I saw a picture of "quilted" Christmas trees on Craftsy.  I saved the project and the fabric requirements.  The instructions list a youtube video that is no longer available.  With the information I had, I figured out how to make these trees. Sometime around the time that I saw the idea on Craftsy, I bought the styrofoam trees with the intention of making it.  I bought fabric for it last year but still didn't get them made for Christmas.  I've had it on my "to do" list all month.  My reasoning is that I have more time now than I will in November. Surprisingly, It took me about 5-6 hours to make these two trees.  I didn't think it would take so long.  The taller tree has a 4" base and is 12" tall.  The smaller tree has a 3-1/2" base and is 9" tall. The trees are made with 2-1/2" squares of fabric that are folded in half diagonally, pressed and then folded in half again and pressed, making a smaller triangl...

Christmas Tree

Image
This seems to be the year for me to re-create crafts that I did with my mom or that she made.  In the early 80's, a friend of my mother's had us over and we sat at her kitchen table each making a tree like this.  I always liked that tree and decided this would be the year I would make it again. All you need to make it is 30 feet of plush garland.  6 wire hangers.  Zip ties or twist ties.  A strand of lights.  I think we used a strand of 100 mini lights so many years ago.  I've been debating this in my mind though.  50 seemed like it would be enough and 100 perhaps too much.  I was at the hardware store today and saw a box of 70 lights and figured it was middle of the road . . . perfect.  The bulbs were a little bigger than the typical strand of lights, this could work too.  Having made the tree I have mixed thoughts on the lights.  I would opt for the 100 bulb strand to have more lights, but then, I like lights.  I like ...

Cathedral Window Ornament

Image
Our DAR Chapter has a Christmas luncheon today.  I wanted to make an ornament for a "favor" of sorts.  I thought it would be nice for everyone to have something.  When fabric went on sale in July I bought what I would need for this project.  One part of me really would liked to have used Christmas fabrics but I kept in mind this is for a patriotic group and they can hang it off a door knob or cabinet, etc. and use it year round.  I hope they like it. I tried to remember to take pictures as I went through the process.  I made 64 of these ornaments in an assembly line sort of way in that I did each step for all of them and then moved on to the next step.  The Main Fabric is 10" x10"        Center fabric (lower right) is 5" x 5"        Accent fabric measures 4.5" x 4.5"        Backing is 5" x 5" (not pictured)        Ribbon is 8" Start by folding the fabric in ...
