Christmas is Coming

It has been awhile since I have posted here. I have been posting on Instagram but not here.  I have been making a lot of bags but took time to make some cards with my new Concord and 9th stamps and dies I ordered.  Here are cards i made with the new Christmas Floral Stamp and Dies Set.  I love this set.  There is so much you can do with it.  I stamped with Memento Black ink and them used water color pencils and my water brush for a nice water color look.  This set come with a die to cut out the Christmas letter so I used it and them cut them out with different colors and in-layed the letters.  I used some Anna Griffin foil cardstock to mat and cut the letters to inset.  Loving the sparkle. 

On this card I wanted to highlight the true reason for Christmas, so I in-layed Christ and left "mas" empty so that it shows the beautiful plaid mat.  

On the following card I used the new Mistletoe Messages Stamps and Dies. It is another great set which I plan on using for more cards.  I love plaid and so have been collecting plaid Christmas colored papers.  I got some from Anna Griffin and some from Stampin Up.  You cannot have too much plaid in my opinion ;) 

Sew Sweetness Clydebank Bag

Here is my Clydebank bag using Sew Sweetness pattern.  I quilted a rainbow jelly roll to make my rainbow fabric.  I was really fun to make.  Sara Lawson is an amazing teacher.

Minikin Metro Double Zip Pouch

Well I have discovered another craft...like I need another obsession ;)

I discovered Sara Sew Sweetness the original "bag lady' YouTube channel and have fallen in love with her bags and her teaching is incredible. So this month I am throwing my bag in the challenge.  This month the challenge is the Metro Double Zip Bag.  The pattern includes 3 sizes, and I chose to make the medium size.   It took 2 fat quarters, interfacing, 2 zippers and a  swivel clip with 1/2” and a 1/2 inch d-ring.

This pattern is included in the Minikins Season 2 bundle and includes written instructions and a wonderfully detailed step by step video.....you just cannot fail. 

Here is my completed bag. 

I love this bag and plan on making the small and large ones also.  It is a great bag to grab when you do not want to carry a big bag.  There is enough room for your phone, money and id.  Perfect!!

I Like Booties

I love booties....cute wee animal booties that is.  I love adorable Lawn Fawn Slow Down and Enjoy and the For You, Deer stamps & dies.  They have the cutest little booties.  Here is a set of cards I made using these.  I placed these cuties in little windows so that when you open it their little booties are there <3.  I used my Cricut to cut card bases and colored my little friends with my Copic markers.

Christmas Ornament/Tags

I am preparing for a craft show and am working on things to sell.  Here are some ornament/tags I have made.  I love the deer and bear with their cute bums on the back ;)  I also jumped on the shaker bandwagon and made some shaker ornament/tags.  

The majority of the products are from My Favorite Things Stamps, except for the figures in the bottom tags are from Simon Says Stamps. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

I have been preparing for a craft show at my church and have been making cards among other things.  Here are some cards I was working on yesterday.

I used the Simon Says Stamps Winter Friends stamp  and die set.  I colored the images with my ShinHan markers.  

Thanks for hoppin by...now go and create ;)

More totes

Here are all the tote bags I made since July.  I went "tote-ally" crazy ;)  As I mentioned in my last post these are made with a pattern designed by Patti Dubreui who taught a class at the Piecemaker's Country Store in Costa Mesa, CA

They are so much fun to make!
