Quilt top finished

What a wonderful week I had with my daughter.  We were able to work together and piece this quilt top.  It will be for my daughter's bed.  Have you ever used a quilt design to make a card?  Check back on tomorrow to see a card I made using this top as my inspirtation.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday so I will continue my Stamparatus Technique series by showing you how to make a reverse image. So complicated looking, but so easy to do.

Till Then 
Happy Stamping,

Sewing instead of Stamping

My daughter who lives in Tennessee is visiting this week without children or husband and we are making a quilt top for her bed at home.  This is her 4th year of spending her spring break from teaching with me and the 4th quilt top we will be making.  I have decided to take this week off my blog to enjoy her visit.

See you April 1st.

Technique-Stamparatus Multiple Images

Check out this video for technique #2 using the Stamparatus.  You will learn how to stamp layers of color using the Stamparatus.  If you missed the first video I posted last week click on this link to take you there.

Come back tomorrow for Fun Friday, where I show you how to color an image using different techniques.  It's amazing how different each technique looks.

Till then,
Happy Stamping,
Sushi

Make is Simple Monday-Use Your Scraps

 Recently, I was using the thinlit from the Butterfly Beauty Thinlits dies page 13 in the Occasions catalog and had this piece left over.  Since it was centered on a piece of card stock I just could not throw it away.  So, instead I made a simple card from my scraps.

Here's how....
  1. I selected designer paper to go behind the cut out.  In this example I used the Botanical Butterfly Designer series paper from the Sale a Bration catalog.

 2. I chose a card base color I thought would go with the Grapefruit Grove butterfly cut out.  In this case I used Calypso Coral.

3. And that is how I made this simple card.  You can use any element that is left over from cutting out your thinlit or framelit.  Just follow my simple step and voila you will have a great but simple card.

Share your example on my Facebook page Stampin with Sushi and I will send you this card or a card like it.

Tomorrow, I will be posting a surprise video.  Come back to see what it is.  

Have a great day, and enjoy the prospect of Spring.
Till then,
Sushi
