Pick a Pattern

When it comes to our Designer Series Papers, Pick a Pattern is my new favorite these days. The fact that it is also included in the Buy 3, Get 1 FREE Sale Promotion makes me super happy because now I can keep cutting it up and just buy more!!

Look how much fun I am having with Pick a Pattern…
Pieces-and-Patterns-1

You will notice at first glance that I’ve used the Pick a Pattern DSP a couple of different ways. I’ve used large pieces as background tiles, and then I’ve also fussy-cut all the little images from one of the pages in the pack. I cannot stand how cute these images are!

This one was designed by one of our Artisan Members (Cathy Caines)…Pieces-and-Patterns-2The black/white dotted piece is adhered onto the front of a white card base. The ombre Dapper Denim piece is actually from the Color Theory Pack (also on the sale list!). The greeting “Happy Life” is from the very versatile Tabs for Everything Stamp Set.  It suits this whimsical card to a tee.

I just kept cutting…I couldn’t stop! How adorable is this little woodland scene? (Thank you Donna Wizniuk.)Pieces-and-Patterns-4Another variation…this time using the Woodlands Embossing Folder to add to the forest background. Pieces-and-Patterns-3The greetings on these cards are from the coordinating stamp set called Pieces & Patterns. And guess what? The stamp set is 15% off until October 10th as part of the World Card Making Day Promotion. Does it get any better than that?

One more to share from Cathy Caines…I LOVE this moose!!

Christmas Quilt

One of the bundles we highlighted at the Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnival a few weeks ago was the Christmas Quilt Bundle.
Quilted-Christmas-4All the products found in this Quilted Christmas Suite give your creations a homey, handmade feel. (You can find it all on pages 4-5 in the Holiday Catalogue. )

We made a few gift items to sell at the show. These paper quilted embroidery hoops turned out super cute. This first one is taken directly from the catalogue…
Quilted-Christmas-2And then if any of you know me at all, I had to do a coffee themed one as well:) …
Quilted-Christmas-3It was just like doing a puzzle. I ran a few different pieces of the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper through the Big Shot using the coordinating framelit dies. And then just started gluing them in place. The theme possibilities are endless! Who do you have to buy for this Christmas? Hmmm…

A little tip for doing these hoops…I just bought some inexpensive fabric and put it in a 4-inch embroidery hoop…cutting off the excess fabric and using a hot glue gun to secure it to the inside of the back of the hoop. (Just makes the back look more finished.) Does that make sense? I then used Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the pieces of paper to the front.

When you are ready to place an online order for the products in the Quilted Christmas Suite, you may do so HERE at my store. Please use the September Hostess Code 7R9HYUAG at checkout.

Have a great day everyone,
