Quilting

Chevron Baby Quilt

Welcome!

I have been busy working on a baby quilt for a frien. I will try to post some fun pictures and maybe even a video if I can figure out a way to set up the camera to video the process.

Thanks for visiting.

Dad's Day

My Favorite Things Sketch Challenge 388

Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Welcome!

Hope you had a great week.

I started my card today by stamping the Hero Arts Abstract Wave Bold Prints background stamp with VersaMark ink and white heat embossed that onto a panel of Neenah Solar White 80 lb. cardstock. Then I used Distress inks in Salty Ocean and Chipped Saphire with the Chipped Saphire around the edges. 



I used the Abigail QuicKutz dies to cut the Dad out 4 times, then I temporarily adhered them to a strip of cardstock and used Spiced Marmalade Distress ink to blend some color on the letters. I glued them together with a Two-way glue pen and decided that they were a little to brown, so I added a little Carved Pumpkin Distress ink to make it more orange. 





By the way this card is for my Father-In-Law and they are Broncos fans, so That is why I chose the colors that I did.










 I used the All About Dad stamp set from My Favorite Things to stamp a secondary sentiment onto a piece of Black cardstock and used VersaMark ink and white heat embossed it. I used scotch tape to cover where I changed the way the stamp was laid out by using scotch tape to mask off the stamp when inking up the stamp and removing the scotch tape and then stamping. Then I moved the stamp to where I wanted, and repeated the process until I had this the way I wanted.

I adhered the blended background to a white card base and then cut a tay shape from My Favorite Things Elegant Rectangle STAX from Neenah White Cardstock and punched a tag ho;e in the top and adhered that to my panel. 

I adhered the Dad letters to the card with a two-way glue pen and then adhered the strip to the card with strong adhesive and 3M foam tape to the edges. 

I am so glad that you could join me here toady.

Altenew- Remember This

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

Altenew June Inspiration Challenge

Welcome!

I started this card today by taking a panel of Neenah Solar White 80 lb. cardstock and cutting the edge with Altenew Remember This coordinating dies. I did this by doing a partial die cutting technique along the right edge.




















I then stamped the images from the Remember This set using Simon Says Stamp Hot Mama and Thistle inks and Stampin' Up! Certainly Celery, Lucky Limeade, and Orchid Opulence inks.

Then I took a black and purple Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors and sprinkled them on the panel, avoiding the right edge.













I used sentiments from the Altenew Mega Succulent stamp set. I stamped the Happy with VersaFine Onyx Black ink and then clear heat embossed it. I then took a strip of black cardstock and used VersaMark ink and white heat embossed the sub sentiment.


I cut a 2"piece of heavy weight velum and adhered it to the right edge of a purple card base, leaving an 1/8" border. I adhered the panel on top of the card with 3M foam tape and added some sequins to the card with Distress Collage Medium Matte.

Thanks for visiting me here, hope you have a great day!
