Ann Butler Designs Blog Hop

Hi Everyone,

I am so excited to be a part of this fabulous blog hop!  My close friend and Designer, Ann Butler, has designed two brand new stamps lines with Unity Stamp Company and KellyCraft Innovations and also a brand new line of inkpads from Clearsnap!

Ann's new line of rubber stamps allows crafters like myself, who love the look of quilting but don't sew.  As you will see with my pillow, it looks like I spent hours and hours quilting the front, when in reality the pillow took me less than an hour for me to create.

Join me along with 11 other professional designers as we bring you some great ideas on how to use these wonderful rubber stamps and inkpads. You won't be disappointed!!!

Thanks for joining me. Until next time...

Place in dryer for 15 minutes to heat set.

2.  Place pillow insert in between the stamped fabric, pin the front in place leaving the back unattached.  Using white embroidery floss and a 3” long needle, attach buttons to stamped squares through the pillow insert but do not sew them to the back.

3.  Wrap the back of the flour sack or muslin around the back of the pillow insert and glue in place.   Pull the front tight and adhere to pillow.  Fold each side under three times and adhere to pillow insert.  Add ribbon to each corner of the pillow and tie in a bow.  Adhere a bow to the center of the pillow.

 

 



Autumn's All Around

Hi Everyone,

I completed this project for the KellyCraft Blog and I thought I would share it here with you!

I am back with another great project using the KellyCraft Get-it-Straight Laser Square. I know that I have said it before, but really, I love this product! This tool is what I call my all-in-one! I have been stamping for many years and I can't tell you how many times my project is almost finished and I stamp that last image only to have it not stamp completely on my paper. How frustrating! Well, with my Get-it-Straight Laser Square not only can I line my page elements up perfectly, I can also use it to re-stamp my incomplete images. I am so in love!

This project is a fairly simple to create and sunflowers for me, always remind me of Autumn. With the stamped sunflower and a few embellishments, you have a wonderful project that you can hang on the wall or sit it on your table. And for a beautiful table centerpiece, place your frame on a table next to a vase filled with sunflowers. Now that would be very, very pretty.

Thank you for joining me. Until next time...
