Cute wearable for a hot summer day


Here’s a great little tee made by Natalia of Spain. Sleeveless and cool. Stamp your images using a fabric ink such as VERSACRAFT by TSUKINEKO. Heat set the images by top pressing with an iron and pressing cloth. VOILA!
Done! Machine washable. How easy is that? Feeling like you want to color? Then color in using fabric inks by Tsukineko. Again, heat set to be sure. asy peasy and darn cute too!

Christmas in July (whew! I just made it!)

Published by admin under Basic card

These were fun cards to make. First I took a 12″ x 12″ piece of black cardstock and cut it down to 5-1/2 ” wide by 12 inches long. With my SCOR-PAL I made scores every 2 inches; both valley and mountain folds. On the front of the first fold I stamped using Stazon WHITE for the greeting and speckles. Spellbinders circle dies saved me from having to handcut or hand punch the circles in various sizes. Circles were made from cardstock in red, green and neutral colors. A bit of STICKLES glue and LIQUID APPLIQUE were used for embellishments. Red and gold tinsel embossing powders by RANGER were applied to various images. Shiny gold cardstock was used for the Christmas ornament’s tops and gold cord for the hangers. 3 ornaments were glued onto each mountain fold; various sizes. When folded the card slips easily into an A2 envelope for mailing; no additional postage needed! Also I used Tsukineko metallic inks for those ornaments I simply stamped. The ink is so luscious and rich that no embossing powder is needed.
