Red White and Blue...

Here's this week's make for the Bubbly Scrumptious Blog.  When I set out to make this card I didn't have a red, white and blue colour combination in mind, it just happened.  I must have been influenced by all the red white and blue in the shops.

It's the first time out for this embossing folder, a universal one from Craft Concepts called In Sttitches.  Lovin' the effect, saves getting the sewing machine out!
Check out the Blog for a full supplies list and a step by step guide to make it HERE.

Keep Calm and Carry On...

It's time for another challenge over at Let's Craft and Create. and the theme is a recipe. All you need to do to enter is use the following on your card or project - new projects please.

a button

a piece of fabric or similar

a stamped sentiment

I've made a lavender bag, I stamped the 'Keep Calm' sentiment, onto white fabric using Versacraft ink, and added a twill ribbon bow and vintage button to pretty it up a bit. If I made another I'd add a lace edging for a bit more prettiness!  It now sits on my craft bench as a gentle reminder!


Would be great to see you join in this time.  Check out the Let's Craft and Create Blog for all the details, some fabulous inspiration from the Design Team and the prize up for grabs for one lucky winner.
