Spring is on its way!

Spring is on its way and it is about time!

I am in a Springy mood. I anxiously await loads of blooms and the return of leaves on the trees, and bushes.  Loads of bright delightful colors will soon appear. I am also looking forward to the “fruits” of my labor. The strawberry garden should produce and my peach tree too. I had to celebrate the return of Spring and my favorite paper,  Lawn Fawn Pink Lemonade Kit Collection  came into my studio I am delighted! 

I  found a great card style called a three step card and I fell for it right away. Penny Duncan designed the card style. It is a card design with one side stepped down and back. I love the look of it. It also gave me a chance to play with some new edge dies I bought to feed my baby, Craftwell’s newest bundle of joy the eBosser. This sweet baby loves to emboss and die cut all day long!

I love the way my edge pieces popped right out of the cutting die with this super cool eBosser.

 

I am looking forward to my next project and also wondering what you will design with yours. Please remember I want to hear and see what you are designing with the Ebosser.

Have a great week! Debi

Pink Frill Yarn Container!

I promised to be stitchin up a storm with my eBosser this week and feel I have lived up to my word. One of my favorite things is sewing and I love making different things .  I don’t always sew traditional items. This week I decided to try out my new Accuquilt GO! Rag Square-5 1/4". I love my Rag Quilt die so much!

I used a sandwich consisting of a “D” plate on the bottom and an “A” plate on top.  I placed eight layers of quilting weight cotton on the die and very quickly had sixteen pieces.  I only needed 14 sections and I have a top fashion fabric and a bottom liner in pink solid.  So I will save the other two for a later project! I love how fast I was at the sewing machine. The eBosser is wonderful for those Go! Baby sized dies!

I was so impressed with be able to cut my project out in less than 15 minutes. Then  I could get to the important part putting my project together.

So much fun using my vintage machines. It is funny that I used the state of the art Ebosser to make my time with my old girl so much fun!

 

Now I have a cute “bag container” for my magazines, yarn or other items. I love the frills and it makes organizing fun.

Have a great weekend and remember comment below and let me know what your eBosser is up to!

Heart Shaped Box

I a so very lucky to have both of my machines. I used my eCraft on this one. I love SVGcuts their files are easy to use in my eCraft software. I used their “For My Valentine” SVG kit. There is a simple heart box with cut out in the set and that is what I chose to make.

I decided to go a step further and add petals to the box sides. I used 3L Adhesive Crafty Power tape to attach them. I love the way that they look.

I used some silver colored wire to lattice the top of my box and some great trim. I really feel that this will be a great one of a kind Valentine’s Day Gift.

I am having so much fun with this Valentine’s Day. I wonder what else I can come up with. I need a sweet gift for a sweet person. Well maybe next week’s project will be right for him..

See you next week,

A Little Love Goes A Long Way

For my home decor project I had envisioned something quilted but my die didn’t make it. I got upset and realized how much I take me for granted. I am quick to fuss at myself. I smooth over when others don’t meet some of their duties. You know you too are a mom or a wife or even a friend. So I decided I needed to add something to my work area to remind me to love me!

I love this heart mobile. I used my eCraft and some of the great WorldWin papers to create these interlocking Celtic hearts. I found the svg on the site Extreme Papercrafting. I have all of the hearts braided together and they actually move with the breeze from the ceiling fan.

I thought about making a banner for my fireplace but decided I spend more time in my kitchen than the living room. This is my Valentine’s gift to me so I want it where it will inspire me to love me!

I used a pressure of 6 and no tabs. It cut very cleanly. I also sprayed locktite adhesive spray on it and then sprinkled my glitter on it. I am very pleased with my outcome. I might make several strands to go across my kitchen windows. I think they need a little sweet décor as well.

I am hoping that in the next few days my new quilting die will be delivered. So hopefully I will be showing you some wonderful fabric creations using my eBosser.

Have a wonderful week and don’t forget to Love you!

eBosser Makes Recycling Fun!

eBosser Makes Recycling Fun!

I am so excited. I love eBossing with my eBosser. I love using it to recycle. I decided to work on a new project with my eBosser and my new Vintaj dies.

 

I used a soda can and cut it out with a sizzix star die. I can’t believe how nice it turned out. The eBosser makes quick work of die cutting and also embossing.

Who would have ever thought that a soda can could make a wonderful hair embellishment. I am so happy that I am able to do this.

 

After cutting out the shape a quick pass thru the eBosser  in the Vintaj folder makes a beautiful design.

In order to give my stars a nice finish I took a candle and heated the stars. The finish took on a caramel color and was the finish I was looking for. No inks or anything else was added just the flame and it caused the effect you see. I did sand it  to remove some of the effect.

The edges are also not sharp. I sanded them as well very gently. I love my outcome.

Well Looking forward to some home décor? Well check out my post for next week and let me know what you think..

Have a great week, Debi

Felted Feel Goods!

Felted Feel Goodies!

I am in Love…love with my Ebosser. I am so fortunate to be able to use it. I have had some issues with wrist pains and my eBosser reduces my hand and wrist pains so much that embossing and using quilting dies is a joy again! I am so delighted that I worked up an item to share with some of my friends.

I love cutting felt and fabrics with my eBosser so easy and quick. I can cut so much that it is shocking! You can see that I am also working on a custom embossing folder with the “eBosser” word.

I used a eight layer of felt with the Sizzix die to cut my flowers.

They cut cleanly and quickly.  I used my C plate and my A plate. I then took some twine and gathered up my flowers.

After gathering I was able to sew on my button center. I then was able to attach the pin, but could have easily attached to the hair clippie.  I really love how these came out.

Whether used as a package embellishment or a head piece this is really super cute and fast. I love my flower garden. During the winter when so much is brown these beautiful felted blossoms have really brightened up my world.

Want to see my felted bouquet…..it is on its way!!!

Happy New Year again!
