My Bedroom Wall

I didn't get the chance to make a card for the Stamping 411 challenge this week because I was working on another project. My husband and I will have lived in our house for five years in October and I never did anything with the wall above our bed because the ceiling has a peak and the head board has a ball in the center and it accentuated the bed's off center look. But then a saw a design magazine with a number of pictures put on a wall in a collection and it struck me that that is what I could do. So I did it. I found the frames on the cheap at a big store. And started designing each one.

Istarted with the Perfect Plum one with the gold swirls. I used Baroque Motifs. The little flowers are stamped in black and the the flower burst is embossed in silver. I got the idea from Bits & Pieces. Heather is a true artist.

Then I came up with the lattice one with the flowers and butterflies. I added the rhinestones but I'm not sure you can see them when they are up on the wall but I still like them for bling.

As you can see here are three more. The Fleur de lis was done with a stencil and a number of embossing folders. I brayered the color onto the texture and sponged around the main panel, and for the heart I used the hearts framelits collection with a word from fabulous phrases.

The scene with the purple sky is my own creation starting with a brayered sky in several shades of purple, then ripped paper for the masks for the mountains and cliffs. It's reminiscent of Sedona, AZ where my husband and I like to go and hike for a month each year. I was surprised and happy when he knew what it was right away. 

So all of it went up on my wall with the Decor Elements that look like Baroque Motifs. I like the way they peak out from behind the frames. I am sad that these items have been discontinued. They are so fun and easy to put up.

A Thank You Quilt

A woman I met at quilt group, Marcia, asked me to go along with her to Mad City Quilt group, Well, of course I said yes, and we went on Tuesday. I had a good time and saw about 50 quilts, mostly from the speaker but they had show and tell so there were about 15 women that shared projects that they have been working on, what fun.

It just inspired me to make more quilt cards. Here's a thank you for Marcia for inviting me and picking me up to take me along. I appreciate it so much.

If you have any questions let me know. If you want any of the supplies used to make this card or any other you see here on my blog just email me your phone number and I will call you and be happy to help you.

Quilt out of Lattice Die Green and Pink

Here is the opposite of what I posted yesterday. This one is quilted with the square lattice die so it's a double lattice quilt card. I think this card would be especially nice for a quilter for her birthday but certainly appropriate for anyone celebrating their birthday.

The piece of designer series paper that the lattice was cut out of measures 3 1/2" x 3 1/2". Then I added a piece of Pretty in Pink on top 3 1/2" x 3/4" and the bottom was 1" wide then punched with the border punch. Adhere all together.

Supplies:

Stamps: Curly Cute

Ink: Wild Wasabi

Paper: Tea Party dsp?, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi cs

Tools: Eyelet Border Punch, Big Shot, Bigz Lattice Die, Square Lattice embossing folder

Quilt out of Lattice Die

 Wow, this quilting with paper is really fun and fast. I have made 3 quilts now with fabric and they take weeks to complete. A card quilt made with paper and a few supplies takes only minutes. Especially with this lattice die. I ran a piece of dsp through the Big Shot with the lattice die and then flipped the pink lattice section over and this is the result. You have to glue each piece down individually but with 2 way glue  it moves only rather quickly. after the glue was dry I did then run it through the Big Shot again with finial press ef.  I put a fancy border edge on my card stock and stamped that pretty little sentiment on and my card was done. I didn't want to put too much on the front of this card because I didn't want to take away from the beauty of the quilt itself.

Here is the list of

Supplies:

Stamps: Curly Cute

Ink: Basic Black

Paper: I think it's Tea Party retired, Pretty in Pink, Wild Wasabi cs

Tools: Big Shot, Finial Press ef, Bigz Lattice die, Eyelet Border punch

Spring is Coming Soon

It took me a long time to get the lattice die for the Big Shot. Now I wish I would have ordered it a long time ago. If you don't have this die you are missing out on a whole world of style that is available for a small cost. This card is very little stamping but a whole lot of punching.

• This is what was used. 2 3/8" scallop circle , Boho Blossoms, 1/2" circle, 1 1/4" circle, scallop oval, small oval, Dotted ribbon border all punches from Stampin' Up and the Lattice die and also the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.
• Teen Tiny Wishes supplied the sentiment and Garden Green ink was used to stamp it. The Card Stock is Daffodil Delight, Garden Green, Whisper White and Chocolate Chip

I think it is a cheerful springtime card I would like to know what you think by leaving me a comment.

This is a Mary Fish design and I'm proud to say that I get a great deal of inspiration from her blog.
