Decorative Folder

A decorative file folder can be great gift for the person who has everything. SU has provided two new designer fabrics for the current mini catalog Sweet Stitches and Springtime Vintage. It also provides an opportunity to use any of the various SU dies to add shape and texture to the product.

Aged Tiles

I used the Aged Tile technique,from the TJ Newsletter, to highlight the simplicity of the SU Elements of Style stamp set. The card base is Not Quite Navy,followed by a piece of Crumb Cake CS I put through the SU Lattice embossing folder, and Whisper White holds the image. I used the SU Watercolor Crayons to color the image and Baja Breeze ink to shade the tiles. To finish it off I added SU buttons and linen thread.
Supplies:
Stamps: Element of Style
Inks: Baja Breeze, Watercolor Crayons: Wasabi, Marina Mist and Baja Breeze
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Crumb Cake, and Whisper White
Misc: Linen thread and buttons

3x3 Canvas

Stamping on the canvas frames is a little tricky because of the empty space behind the canvas. So I decided to cut a 3x3 square of SU "Presto" paper and start from there. I sponged SU Crumb Cake and Baja Breeze on the paper to highlight the words. I next used the stamps in the "Nature Walk" stamp set and alternated using "Expresso and Baja Breeze inks to creat a collage effect. I used red line tape to adhere this to the 3x3 canvas and hung the results on my wall.

Card Class January

In the January card class I featured the SU "Nature Walk" stamp set. I cased the bookmark and one card from the latest edition of "Stamping Success". The other card I used the SU stamp set "Clearly for You" and the stamp "Elizabeth". CS was Kraft, Baja Breeze and Soft Suede.

Rag bag

My ability to sew is not very good so I was grateful when my friend Elsie helped me to put together a Christmas rag bag and coaster that used SU fabric.

Thanksgiving Place Settings and Card

There have been many Turkey Treat Cup images posted recently. This is just my version. The pumpkin was CASED from from an article I found on Split Coast awhile ago using a coffee filter and fiberfill. The card uses two techniques: Shaving Cream and Reinkers on felt to create the multicolorful leaves. A great card for a Thanksgiving message.
