Hello friends... Welcome to the 2016 So Suzy Stamps Design Team Blog Hop! We have a brand new team bringing you So Suzy projects for the rest of 2016 and I was chosen to be a part of it!

Hurry because these stamps sell out fast... Here is the card that I created using Moonlight Fairy & Look For The Rainbows stamps for this blog hop... To make this card I started with my background...I taped the Carabella Studio Petales Stencil to my textured white cardstock using low tack tape. Then I used my flat paint brush to apply some distress inks in the rainbow order ( Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch and Wilted Violet) Use the brush to lift some color from the ink pad & then swipe it on the stencil with a flicking motion to achieve the gradation of color. Carefully remove the stencil & trim the cardstock down to 4" x 5 1/4". Then stamp Moonlight Fairy & Look For The Rainbows stamps with Black Archival Ink on the bottom right corner. Use foam adhesive to mount it on a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card base. Moonlight Fairy Look For The Rainbows Thanks for stopping by - your next stop is Angel.

Hi and welcome to you if you have landed at my blog via the ‘Let’s get Aquainted” Blog Hop. Please feel free to have a look around my blog and leave a message as it is nice to know who has been here! I have thought a lot about what to share with you once my turn came around on the blog hop. I like it when I can see other peoples' projects so I thought that I would share a game that you can 'play' with your patchwork class or group of friends. Playing the Game... Scrappy Postage Stamp Cushion Cover A few weeks ago at my patchwork class we played a game! I wondered whether you would like to know how to play it too? This isn’t a full blown tutorial but it does give instructions on how to make a cushion like this. At class, we were told to choose 15 different fabric scraps and cut out of each of the fabrics into 4 x 1 1/2” squares. This makes a total of 60 squares. I really didn’t think that I had enough different scraps but it is amazing what you do have in your scrap box. It was very easy to pull together 15 scraps with enough fabric for the 4 squares. The fabrics are then divided into two, you keep 2 squares of each fabric (this gives you 30 squares) and put aside the other two squares of each fabric. At our class we were each given a paper bag. Into our individual bags we put our own 30 squares and put the remaining 2 of each fabric (30 in total) into a basket. The basket was passed round and we were able to pick out 10 squares of our choice (but not our own fabrics). We continued to pick out squares until they were all taken. This process ensures that half of all the squares were not of our own fabric. All our picked out squares were added to our paper bag. We gave our squares in the paper bag a good shake and turned them over so that they were well mixed up. Then we picked out one square at a time and put them in rows of 10 . We were NOT allowed to put any back into the bag unless it identical to the previous one. The first few out of the bag did look awful together but we were told to keep going. As you can see from the photos the group of fabrics kept changing as we kept adding. It is handy to use a piece of wadding on which to place the squares as this helps them stay in position. As an added precaution I also took a photo of them laid out. The squares were then pieced together by chain sewing each COLUMN ROW together. Do NOT cut the chains. Once at the bottom of the row, cut the threads and then chain piece the next column onto to the previous column. The photo below gives you an idea of how this is done. Now that you have all the columns joined, it is time to sew across the rows. It is far easier to do if you press all the seams one way in the first row and then for the next row, press the seams the opposite way. This ensures that the seams nestle nicely together when you piece the rows together. I secure each join with a pin and then sew right over the pins. I rarely break a needle and it does help stop the fabric from shifting. Again, don't cut the chains as they help align the squares together. Once done, you have a very pretty piece of patchwork. I then decided to make a cushion cover so I chose a colour that was contained in some of the squares and cut 1 1/4” strips to go all the way round the patchwork. I used lilac which is way out of my comfort zone. I then added 2 1/2” borders in green and layered it up with some calico and wadding. I then quilted every other row and around both sides of the lilac strip. To make the back with a zipper closure, I followed this tutorial by my lovely friend Judith. Again, I used odd fat quarters that toned but didn’t necessarily match. To finish the cushion I bound it with 2 1/2” binding, just as if you were making a quilt. I normally sew the binding onto the front of the quilt/cushion and then hand sew it down on the front. And volia, you have a scrappy postage stamp cushion! The secret of this cushion is that it contains two thirds of fabrics that aren’t yours and perhaps you don’t like however it also contains roughly a third of your own fabric choices. The lesson to take away, is that although you may not like a piece of fabric, when it is mixed with ones that you do like, it does blend in. I tried to take this further by deliberately choosing a colour to frame the patchwork that I wouldn't normally pick. I really enjoyed doing this exercise and learnt a lot about colour and tone. I now also have a cushion that reminds me of my patchwork buddies. I hope that you might be tempted to play ‘the game’ and please remember to hop over to visit Jennifer at the Knotted Thread as we are sharing the blog hop today. I would also like to let you know that the blog hop continues on Thursday with Sarah from Sarah Lou Catherine from Knotted Cotton Di xo
Ciao a tutti e benvenuti a un'altra settimana su Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Vi ricordo che abbiamo come tutte le estati una sfida riservata ai ragazzi, Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge, CLICCA QUI o sulla foto per partecipare! Grazie per esservi uniti a noi per la Vacation Challenge e speriamo che vi unirete di nuovo a noi anche questa settimana. Questa settimana ti sfidiamo ad andare: BACK TO SCHOOL! Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge We have a Kids Vacation Challenge CLICK HERE or on the pic to go to join in! Thank you for joining us for the Vacation Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too. This week we are challenging you to go: BACK TO SCHOOL! Quando ho letto l'argmento di oggi mi è venuta subito in mente la scuola di Harry Potter, Hogwarts. Mi sono chiesta se avevo tutto quello che mi serviva per realizzare una tag su questa scuola e cercando cercando ho trovato tutto! Del resto sono una collezionista di tutto quello che riguarda Tim Holtz e mpm è stato cos' difficile trovare il necessario! Piccola descrizione in punti dei passaggi ( la tag è davvero molto facile come esecuzione!) 1) Il muro della stazione dal quale Harry parte per Hogwarts. La fustella 3D Brickwork è perfetta. Io ho colorato prima la tag con alcuni Distress Spray Stain ( sotto la lista dei materiali) em una volta sciugata, l'ho passatata attraverso la Big Shot con la fustella Brickwork. Poi con un po' di carta vetrata(io uso per la verità una lima grossa per unghie), ho distressato in qualche punto la superficie e ripassata con Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad. 2) L'insegna del Binario 9 e 3/4 mi ha consentito di utlizzare la nuova assolutamente imperdibile fustella Vintage Labels. Favolosa si può inchiostrare prima di tagliare, è fantastica. I numeri provengono da un set di Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous, Merchant CMS 331, che sembra fatto apposta per questo! 3) Quali altri elementi potevano stare sulla tag per caratterizzare il viaggio di Harry verso la scuola? Le valigie sicuramente . Tutti ricordiamo il suo carrello con valigie e Edvige. Le valigie sono realizzate con la fustella Baggage Claim di Sizzix e alcuni ritagli che avevo nelle mie scorte (sapete che non butto nulla!). Il materiale è un vecchio Pack Idea-ology di Substrate sheet, che credo sia fuori produzione perchè non l'ho trovata nemmeno della lista di prodotti di Tim Holtz sul suo Blog. Ma io ovviamente ne ho ancora un po'! 4) Edvige l'ho trovata su un pack di Idea-ology Tim Holtz Layers & Baseboard Frames Halloween (TH93986), l'ho ritagliata e posizianata sulla valigia. Il cappello proviene da una fustella di Halloween, Frightful Things. Per comporre la parola Hogwarts ho usato il pack Metallic Sticker Book, tagliando una per una le lettere necessarie. Le ho incollate sulla clip in alto, tagliata con la nuova fustella Specimen. Ho trovato anche la bacchetta magica in un pack di abbellimenti metallici, Treasures Adornments. 5) La scopa ovviamente non poteva mancare ed eccola qui, ravvivavta con un pochino di Foundry Wax Gilded! Finita! Spero vi piaccia e vi sia utile la descrizione dei passaggi! 1) The wall of the station from which Harry leaves for Hogwarts. The 3D Brickwork die is perfect. I painted the tag first with some Distress Spray Stains (below the materials list) and once it dried, I ran it through the Big Shot with the Brickwork die. Then with some sandpaper (I actually use a large nail file), I distressed the surface somewhere and went over it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink Pad. 2) The sign of the Platform 9 and 3/4 allowed me to use the new absolutely must have Vintage Labels die. It's a fabulous die, it can be inked before cutting, and it's fantastic. The numbers come from a Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous set, Merchant CMS 331, which looks like it was made for this! 3) What other elements could have been on the tag to characterize Harry's journey to school? The suitcases for sure. We all remember his trolley with suitcases and Hedwig. The suitcases are made with Sizzix's Baggage Claim die and some scraps I had in my stock (you know I don't throw anything away!). The material is an old Substrate Sheet Pack Idea-ology, which I believe is out of production because I didn't even find it in Tim Holtz's product list on his Blog (Index). But obviously, I still have some! 4) I found Hedwig on an Idea-ology Tim Holtz Layers & Baseboard Frames Halloween pack (TH93986), I cut it out and placed it on the suitcase. The hat comes from a Halloween die, Frightful Things. To compose the word "Hogwarts", I used the Metallic Sticker Book pack, cutting the necessary letters one by one. I glued them to the clip on the top which I cut with the new Specimen die. I also found the magic wand in an Idea-Ology metallic embellishment pack, Treasures Adornments. 5) The broomstick obviously couldn't be missing and here it is, revive it with a little bit of Foundry Wax Gilded!
