Are you a NEW Craft N Cut Owner?

Congratulations! I am always excited when I can bridge together my two favorite crafts of sewing and paper crafting. This new software has made my crafting experience so much easier and does offer me a new challenge. I recently attended an event at Scrap N Sew in which I was able to view all the avenues of crafting for the 21st century. Not only were we treated with a plethora of ideas but we also had the opportunity to participate in the crafting experience. Some of the lucky ladies were able to take the projects home! I have owned the Floriani FTC-U for a few years now and so many of the icons were very familiar to me. However the first step in learning any new software is to learn what all of the icons mean/do. I would suggest not printing the entire manual at once but only a few pages at a time. So the first step for me was to familiarize myself with the main screen. The icons included on the Main Bar are found in the following c...

Club Scrap Lavender Fields Linky Party

Some days life is not a bowl of cherries! It is a bouquet of lavender! The month of May was quite hectic for me but I was able to create this pretty awesome card (IMHO) to celebrate one of my favorite herbs and essential oils. I was also able to create a wreath of lavender following the technique featured by Jennifer McGuire here. I made my template from stencil plastic using my Pazzles digital cutter. It was a 4 inch square and then a copy of a 4 inch square rotated 45 degrees. I then welded the designs into one. This is an easy design to create in any digital cutter program. Why not give it a try? Next I positioned it onto my Stampin' Up Stamparatus but a Misti will work as well. I wanted it to be straight so I added the grid paper from the Misti to make sure it was straight. I then cut a 4 x 4 inch piece of paper and started stamping my design into a wreath using Club Scrap Amethyst ink pads - the perfect color for thi...

I LOVE everything about Shibori!

If you are a fan a fabric dyeing or anything blue, you will love this month's kit Shibori. I started with a technique that was posted on Hetty's blog here . Since I have been crafting now for almost 20 years, I have doodled in my life more than once. :) what caught my eye was the background paper she created on these cards and I worked hard to try and recreate them. Using my Brusho Prussian Blue from Stampin' Up, I splattered the paper and spritzed it with water. I then added the stamped images from the set using Night of Navy and the retiring Dapper Denim inks. I was pretty pleased with my final design. Now it was time to cut it up! Club Scrap just released Idea Deck 5 in a digital format and you can find the post here . I love everything digital as it sure does eliminate the clutter and is so much easier to find! But I do like to print them off as I use them. For this month's challenge, I used the 2 of Hearts, a card design and c...
