Springtime Vintage Hair Bow

Good afternoon. Today is a busy day out our house with our family getting ready for my boys music program tonight but I did want to share with you this Springtime Vintage Hair Bow that I made the other day. I used the Scallop Circle #2 Die and the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric and a Night of Navy Button from the Springtime Vintage Big Designer Buttons. My daughter wore this one last night and commented on how light it was to wear. I am going to make more and if you would like to buy a hair bow contact me and I will work with you on fabric styles. Okay I am off to get a few more things done before I need to go get kids. Have a great evening and thanks for stopping by. Oh and don't forget to leave a comment on my Blog Candy to be entered to win. Tonya

Big Shot Flower

Good afternoon! I am back sooner than I expected with a new project. I was checking out some projects on the Stampin'Up! website and came across a hair accessory and just had to give it a try. I used some scrap fabrics (so I didn't waste my good fabric) and the Big Shot with the Scallop Circle #2 Die. I used a needle and thread to stitch the Scallops together and added a button to the center to complete this flower. I am trying to decide if I am adding a hair clip back or a pin back to this flower. I think it would make a great addition to my Black Hat and with a pin back I can take if off and add it to other things. If you would like to make your own flower contact me and I will be happy to show you how. Thanks for stopping by and as always have a great day, Tonya

Springtime Pin Cushion

Good morning! This is going to be a super quick post. I wanted to let you know that I am still around. ;) I just had a busy weekend and didn't find time to post. Friday night I had a workshop with Jennifer and her friends. I had a great time and I sure hope they did too! Saturday morning it was Valentine's with the kids. I love how creative kids can be when you give them some supplies and let them use their imaginations. This week is Stamp Club week. We will be having Club on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 7pm. I will be finishing up those projects today and will be posting them through out the week, but today I wanted to show you a quick pin cushion that I made over the snow days. There have been examples of these and I really can't say where I have saw them but I recently received the Springtime Vintage Fabric and I just had to cut it. I had a old jelly jar in my cabinet with a ring and lid so I was ready to make my pin cushion. I cut the fabric with the Scallop Circle Big Die and the Big Shot. I added some cotton balls for stuffing (couldn't find any polyfill in the house) and just attached the fabric with the ring. I did add a package of Springtime Vintage Big Designer Series Buttons to the jar for added color and interest. Quick and easy! It would make a nice gift for a person who likes to quilt or sew. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Cupcake Fun

Good morning and Happy Monday! I am going to start really decorating the house today so this post will be quick. I should have shared this with you last week when the items I used were on sale but some how it missed getting posted. At Convention this year they had some really cute cupcakes that were made from ribbon and paper that you could use as a gift box or to hold candy. I decided to recreate them using our Candy Cane Christmas Designer Series Fabric. I really love our fabric and the way it too coordinates with our ribbon, paper and inks. Oh and of course the buttons. How could I forget that. So the base is made with the Perfect Setting Bigz XL Die and the Candy Cane Christmas DSP (which is sold out, sorry any other paper would work too). This die is made to fit around a real cupcake so you can dress them up too for parties and such. I inserted a cupcake liner inside to old the treats then I cut out a circle to hold the "icing" on top and act as a lid. The "icing" is made of the fabric that was cut into strips then I stitched one edge and gathered it into a circle. I few more stitches to hold it in place and the layers were done. Then I stacked my two fabric circles on top of each other and a button was added with Glue Dots. I attached the fabric to the Card Stock Circle with the Big Shot Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets. Your cupcake is done now to decide what to put inside. Hmm, maybe some candy or jewelry. It was fun to make and I will be using the Perfect Setting die more to actually decorate cupcakes or maybe even little treat cups for nuts or mints. :) Thanks for stopping by, I am off to bring up the trees and start bringing boxes up from the basement. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by, Tonya

Fabric Flower Clip

I thought I would share a fabric project today since it is the last day to get the Candy Cane Christmas and the Deck the Halls Fabric at 50% off. That makes the fabric only $4.98. I love both the designs and have ordered more at the half off price. What can I say I love a sale. This flower is made with the Candy Cane Christmas Fabric and the Fancy Folds Flower Die. Oh and of course a Candy Cane Big Designer Button is perfect to finish it off. There is a clip on the back that allows you to use this flower in your hair on a purse or even your shoes. I just cut the two smallest sizes multiple times with the three different fabrics and folded, layered and stitched together. It really only took a short time to make and my daughter wore this one the other day. She mentioned that is was so light she forgot she had it on. If you have a little girl on your shopping list why not make her a hair bow and while you are at it you can also make a matching top with our fabric and a plain shirt. The possibilities are really endless when it comes to using our fabrics. Remember to stock up on the fabric while the price is still half off. Well, I am off to do more stamping. I didn't get the birthday card done yet that I had planned to do yesterday and I have a individual Christmas Card Class this afternoon that I need to set up for. We are seeing our first snow of the year here and I really hope that is stops soon. The kids are of course excited and are hoping they get enough to play in but for me it can wait until Christmas break to snow. Have a great day and stay warm, Tonya
