Quilts Have Feelings Too…

By on July 27, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Let me just explain that blog title! When you make a quilt, the colors and styles of the fabric (or paper) give the quilt a certain feeling. So today I am going to show you three very different quilts that evoke different feelings…

This first one reminded me of hunting (or safari) so I decided to use some die cuts in black to add the details. Some deer and trees make for a great hunting feel! Then I added some embroidery floss in green and attached it to the needle from the Sewing Kit die…that needle was die cut from some silver foil paper.

Now compare the feeling of that quilt to this next quilt card:

This one is definitely brighter and very happy! I love the vibrant colors of these papers from this pack. The flower is the Aster die and I added the new Hugs die with a green shadow to match the leaves. I added some color to the flower with Distress Oxide inks and a finger dauber.

And my last quilted card to share is using these dies to create those Quilted Squares. sunshine-dont-give-up

I used different papers from this paper pad to add a pop, and the Lattice Background die to emboss the background. The sentiment is heat embossed in white on a black background and is from the Walk By Faith stamp/die duo.

I really love all the looks you can get from these sets! The first one is definitely more of a masculine feeling, don’t you think? Hope you enjoyed a look at these projects today!

Rainbow Hugs for You

By on July 20, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have some rainbow hugs for you!! Yes, I am taking a closer look at the Hugs Stamp/Die Duo from Our Daily Bread Designs and I just knew they would look great with a rainbow of colors.

I used Distress Oxide to ink up the backgrounds in a variety of colors and then I added the Hugs die cut in a diagonal pattern. Isn’t it cute? This hugs die cuts AND embosses…which adds some great interest to the card.

That sentiment is oh-so-true! You can never have too many hugs! This sentiment comes in the stamp/die duo and I love all of the sentiments included.

On my second card I also used a rainbow of colors, and this time I masked off the stripes to leave some white space. Then I added the Art Deco Border Die over the inked portions. This is my first time using this die and I’m so pleased with how smooth it cut…it’s just beautiful!

I used spray adhesive on this one (my first time!) and it adhered like a dream. I recommend using a box to spray in and a well ventilated area!

I popped up the hugs sentiment on black craft foam to give more dimension and really make that “hugs” die pop!

I hope you enjoyed these fun, bright cards today. For more inspiration and to see more products from the July release, be sure to visit the Our Daily Bread Designs blog post here.
