Super Saturday: Super Fabric Idea from Shelli Gardner

Shelli Gardner, CEO and co-founder of Stampin' Up!, shared this fabulous fabric project at the Fort Worth Regionals last month. She created this simple but fab card case using the Deck the Halls Designer Fabric collection.

Shown here:
Deck the Halls Fabric-121716
Big Designer Buttons-Deck the Halls-121002
Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding- 120992
3/8" Twill Tape-119970
Tasteful Trim XL Bigz Die-120893
Tiny Tags set-w:118091, c:118592
Jewelry Tag Punch-117190
Fabulous Phrases-w:117002, c:120501

Notice that the design is much like a book cover with straight seams. The inside holds cards and envelopes that you have created for safe keeping until given with love.

Fabulous Friday: Fab Fabric from Stampin' Up!

Here's a snazzy little number that I wanted to share. Super simple tote bag.
I cut two, 13 x 14 1/2 pieces of fabric and stitched together, then turned down the top edge and stitched. The handles are about 22" long and cut 1 1/2" wide, pressed, stitched by machine, and attached to the bag with hand stitching.
Bigz XL Flower Fold Die cut the flower pieces, streamers are torn scraps of fabric, and Very Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon dyed by pressing into a Cherry Cobbler Classic Ink Pad. A Cherry Cobbler Big Designer Button with crochet thread finishes the center of the flower. (Flower is attached with pin so it can be removed for washing.
Love this...carry it everywhere with my Holiday Mini Catalogs.

Fabulous Friday: Fab Fabric from Stampin' Up!

The new fabric in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog is so versatile! While the color scheme coordinates with the holiday designer papers, the print pattern on the fabric lends itself to the every day project. Gotta love that!
On this card, I've used a strip of the Deck the Halls fabric (torn, to give it a frayed look) and I was really pleased with how easily it tied into a bow.
That big beautiful button is from the Big Designer Button collection--Deck the Halls--again coordinating with the fabric and the paper of the same name. Another versatile product...I'm in love! You'll be seeing these a lot...just wait!

Stampin' Up! Big Shot and Flower Folds: Hair Accessory

When my daughters saw my fabric flowers the first thing they asked was if I could make one to wear in their hair. Both of my daughters have very long hair and they wear "pony tails" often so I came up with this mini version using the smallest two flower cuts from the Flower Folds Bigz XL Die(115970).
I had a vintage patchwork quilt top from which I cut the flowers and I tucked some pieces of brown net between the layers. The vintage button is from a find at an estate sale...isn't it awesome! I attached one of the flowers to a hair band by stitching. Next time, I might try attaching a pin back to the flower. If that works, then it will double the wear as a pin on a garment!

Stampin' Up! Flower Folds: Fabric Flowers

Stampin' Up! Flower Folds Bigz XL 115970

These were so much fun and so easy to make! I starched my fabric and then cut out with the Stampin' Up!Flower Folds Bigz XL Die on the Big Shot. I added a bit of tulle for interest. Button is from my stash of estate sale finds and finished with a bit of crochet thread tied through the button holes. So cute; don't you think? I think these would be great on a tote bag and even on a cardigan sweater for spring! How about on a little girl's headband? Lots of possibilties!

I sewed one group together then tried Crystal Effects to "build" the second flower...super quick!
I'll be posting another one soon...this one I made especially to wear as a pin on a blouse.
