Spice Cake Monogram Decor

So as you probably noticed, I am a huge fan of making monogrammed decor... so here's part 1 of the birthday gift I made for my friend Allison. She LOVES the Spice Cake line, so I used the Designer series paper, Fabric and Button! This is a wooden 'A' you can find at any craft store. I traced it onto the designer paper then cut it out and glued it onto the wood, did a little sponging around the edges too. The little 'friends' tag is from Tiny Tags stamp set and punched out with the Jewlery Tag punch, pinned on with a Vintage Trinket safety pin.

Check back tomorrow for part 2 of her gift!
I wanted to keep it myself! But 'A' isn't my initial...LOL

Baby Hat with Flirtatious Designer Fabric

I designed this adorable baby hat for a co-worker who's expecting a baby girl this February. I'm so excited she's asked me to make her baby shower invitations too!  I bought the brown crochet hat from a local company called Little Hoot, hopefully sometime I'll learn how to crochet a hat! So far I've given up on a scarf, it's now a braclet..LOL  
The flower is made up of layers of the Flirtatious Designer Fabric cut with the Fun Flowers Die on the Big Shot, a little crochet flower and 2 buttons.

 I also strung through some Pretty in Pink Polka dot scallop ribbon around the crown of the hat.

Curious George was happy enough to model my hat for you all! Enjoy!

Spice Cake Fabric Wreath - with cookie cutter ornaments!

I'm in love with the Spice Cake line from Stampin' Up!....I admit it took me awhile to buy the products, but I'm so glad I did! Aren't these colours amazing together...Pool Party, Soft Suede and More Mustard. Last year I made cookie cutter ornaments for Christmas, but I just found these leaf shaped ones and thought I should make some with the Spice Cake DSP and pair it with the matching Designer Fabric and these HUGE buttons!

 

So for this wreath, I used a plain wooden embroidery hoop and tied ripped pieces of the Spice Cake Designer Fabric alternating with the 3 different designs. 

For the Leaf cookie cutters, I traced out the shape onto the paper, cut it out, then used Crystal Effects to glue the cutter onto the paper, I also filled in the whole leaf with it to give it a nice shine. I then strung them up using Linen Thread.

Thanks for stopping by today! Let me know what you think!

Beau Chateau Embroidery Frame Art

I had such a great response to my first embroidery frame, I couldn't wait to do another one! When I received the new Beau Chateau Designer Fabric and Paper, I knew it would make a beautiful framed art. This is a friendship frame of me and my bestie Sarah. Usually I make these frames then give them away as gifts, but this time it's for ME!

Just for fun, I had ordered the Beau Chateau Side Notes, only because a customer of mine ordered them, and I guess I never really noticed them before in the catty...so I thought I'd try them out. These are a great deal! Only $7.50 for a pack of 24 die cuts, perfect for scrapbooking!  All other Embellishments include various buttons, Vintage Flower Adornments, Chantilly Crochet Lace, and the new Mini Clothes Pins!! So cute!

The cute little banner is made with the new Petite Pennant Punch! Definitely a must-have for any project! I punched little flowers with the Boho Blossoms punch and added some Basic Pearls.



Thanks for stopping by!
I would love to hear what you think! Leave a comment and share!

Fliratious Suite Frame - opening the gift!

Hello everyone! Happy Labour Day! Can't believe summer is over already, well here's hoping for an Indian summer here in Calgary!

I wanted to share a few photos of my cousin's daughter Indira opening her gifts from me. If you remember my post awhile back of my Flirtatious Suite Frame (click on the link to refresh your memory) I gave the gift to her for her 1st birthday while I was visiting family in Ontario a few weeks ago. I loved her reaction to the frame, she loved it! She kept trying to grab the fabric flower inside (made from the Flirtatious Designer Fabric)

She also loved my birthday card I made her....you can see that post HERE too if you missed it!

it's blurry, but she loved pretending to read it! so cute!
