Fresh Fruit stamp set: Pear Pizzazz and Almost Artichoke inkpads; Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake cardstock; Fruit Stand DSP; Woodgrain TIEF, Lyering Ovals and Stitched Shapes framelits; Linent Thread.

Just realized I didn't post by April class cards!  I featured retiring stamp sets this month.

Kinda Eclectic stamp set: Pink Pirouette and Rose Red inkpads; Silver Glimmer paper, Rhinestone basic jewels.

This was a class I held in April featuring the Beautiful You stamp set, paper piecing technique, and our soon to be retired Bold Brights DSP stack (so sad!).

Class attendees learned how to make this using just one sheet of the 12×12 DSP.  We also used the Notecard w/envelopes (so cards are 3-1/2" x 5") as well as a muriad of Ovals and Circles framelits.

 Oh, and ust in case you're getting ready to ask, I have not created an instruction sheet yet but when I do I will repost.

He Is Risen!

We all know it's not about the bunny but I'm reposting this photo from last year to wish you a Happy Easter.

Note that there is aan instruction sheet for this basket under the instruction sheet tab of my blog.  It's called Slatted Basket.

Enjoy!!

I based this basket on one made by Betty Traciak.

I altered her instructions (available on YouTube) by making a smaller version that can be made using just one sheet of DSP…it still fits quite a lot.  

Oops…how did those bunnies get out?!

I wasn't planning on purchasing this set when it first came out…what was I thinking?!!

This is a CASE of a design by Jari.  I made it a bit simpler with a few less layers…

Thankful Life is a new hostess set that can be earned from the Occasions catalog.  I love how bright and cheery this looks.

Minor edits made to a card design by Karen A.  The dress is paper pieced (meaning stamped on DSP, cut out and layed on top of the original image).
