Card Making: 4th of July Cards




Card Making: 4th of July Cards






For these festive red, white, and blue cards, I found some wonderful patterned papers that gave me great inspiration.  For two of these cards, I simply cut down the patterned paper and let it shine; one on white card stock, and the other on red card stock.  For the two more unique cards, I cut up the patterned papers into strips and allowed those words to shine for themselves.  I also added a blue card stock to add to the diagonal quality of the lay out. 















Happy creating, and happy card making!

Book Making: Magazine Junk Journal

Image
Book Making: Making a Junk Journal It may be no surprise that I love art journals and junk journals. So I decided to make my own junk journal from scratch, well, from scrap magazine pages. For the main body of the journal, I'm using magazine pages that are glued two together. I then folded the new pages in half and put them into signatures of 4 each. I punched holes into the signatures about an inch apart.  After waxing the embroidery floss, I stitched the signatures together.  For the cover, I was going to use the cover an architecture magazine as it's thicker, but I ended up using two sheets of cut down 12 by 12 inch paper.  I liked the idea of using white paper so that I can properly have my way with the covers.  I can't wait to add gesso and paint and anything else my heart desires to these new pages. Happy creating, and happy paper crafting! For business inquires, contact me at: Kri

Christmas Mini Quilts - Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters

Christmas Mini Quilts Getting the Most From 5 Fat Quarters I've had a stack of five Christmas fat quarters for longer than I'd like to admit. Too many ideas filtered through my head until I finally decided on trying to get the most out of the fabric.  Since the pattern isn't specific to the holidays, this can be applied to any set of fabric. I cut all five fat quarters into four inch strips, and then into 4 inch squares, keeping all scraps to the side.  From this I separated them out first into the larger table runner using 36 squares, and arranging them into a rectangle of 4 by 9.  I decided to go with an angled pattern for the layout, but you could also place them randomly.  The finished size is 13 inches by 29 inches. This one fits well on the coffee table and the dining room table. I then layed out four rectangular place mats using 12 squares each.  I used a similar pattern layout as the table runner.  In fact, I keep this part the s

2016: A Quilting and Sewing Year in Review

Image
Amidst a wedding, two moves, a promotion, a graduation, the adoption and lost of a kitten, and family visits, I have been lucky enough to have finished some smaller and larger quilting projects.  This is the most active I have been with sewing since early 2014 when I had some time on my hands after graduating college. Some of these pieces are Christmas gifts, and some of them just gifts. Some are finished tops, and some are completely finished, quilted pieces. Regardless, I am chocked at how much I have accomplished this year with my trusty sewing machine. Red, White, and Blue Star Quilt To find out more about this beauty check out these two previous posts: Red, White, and Blue - 4 Years in the Making. Red, White, and Blue - A Closer Look. Simplified U. S. Flag Pillow I have a lot of red, white, and blue fabrics in my stash. I also had a faux fur cover rectangle pillow that didn't match our décor. Adding the two together, and a short about of math and sew
