Alcohol Ink And Stamping

He there friends, 

It's Tuesday and this morning I am off fishing with my boy...but

before I leave I wanted to share this card I created with the new

Creating Made Easy July Kit and Avocado Arts Stamp set. 

 I took the Clear Scraps Acrylic circle from the kit, 

used alcohol ink on it then I used my StazOn to stamp the image onto it. 

 The stickers and embellishments from the kit are too too cute!

 Here is the finished card-

Summer Travel Necessities Holder- Adorn-it Fabric

Hello Monday and hello friends, 

 Many of you may know (or not) that I am definitely not a rule follower, I have been sewing for 25 years and I don't pin, I make up my own patterns and I just do what I like...so here is an easy Travel Case Idea with no pins, no pattern just numbers and straight lines:

Trim fabric to 17X8" and 5X8" contrasting. 

Stitch 8" side together- creating 22" long strip of fabric. 

Fold over in half to create 4" wide band. Stitch along bottom and side leaving top open. 

Turn right way and tap out corners. 

Fold fabric up to meet contrasting fabric, and create long pocket for toothbrush and toothpaste. 

Sew sides together. 

Stitch top closed or invisible stitch it closed. 

Fold over and add velcro OR button or leave as is. 

Now this will hold your summer travel necessities without a ziploc bag- and it can be washed!

I used the beautiful Adorn-it fabric for this project you can see all my 

Adorn-it projects on their blog!

Fabric Card Using Acrylic

Hey there, Happy Friday friends...

You know I have been Guest Designing for Adorn-it and I wanted to

be crafty not just sewing only with the cool fabric- 

I am telling you this fabric screamed for me to make a card. 

 Look it even says WISH in it!

So I created an acrylic card and stitched fabric right on the front..

who says there's a rule that you can't make fabric cards?

If there is one I can't find it! hahaha

Remember I am giving away this fabric on my blog HERE

Hey there happy Thursday friends :) 

I have a fun and easy project for your 4th of July parties. 

These cool little Utensil Packets that are so handy to keep everything separated

and also easy to pack up for a picnic. 

Just take an 8.5X12 sheet of patterned paper, and run it through

your Craftwell embossing folder I used Divine Damask-

Trim it lengthwise in half and use pre-embossed crease.

Ink edges and use border punch on the back. 

Using Xyron Adhesive Tape- adhere sides together. 

Using tulle create a starburst and use Xyron Adhesive Dots 

to adhere to center of Utensil Packet. 

Tie twine bow and roll Xyron Adhesive Dots to adhere bow. 

Add liquid pearls to create firework starburst effect. 

Insert napkin and plastic utensils and set out! 

Perfectly fun and super crafty too.
