2018 Calendars! April and May

 I really enjoy the Climbing Orchids stamp set!  No, I didn't think I would - but it has turned out to be a favorite.

I like the flowers stamped and cut in 3 parts and put together with dimensionals.  They look more like the real thing - and I think they don't look real anyway.  At first, I thought those flowers were fake! 

I am presenting a project at my friend Zandra's art studio Celebrat!ions Stud!o in March using this stamp set.  It's a framed piece.

Mom's a quilter, so when I saw this stamp set in the Holiday catalog, I knew I had to make something out of those quilt pieces!  We did this as a very specific paper piecing project.  I precut all the white backing pieces, and the black outlines.
We each worked on one quilt piece at a time. I die cut 2 sets of patterned paper, and worked in opposing areas. I took the outside pieces, and Mom glued the interior pieces.  Making 16 of these didn't actually take all that long - it was just some intense paper-piecing.

I then used crumb cake paper, silver glimmer sheets, and some twine to make the thread pieces.

Class Offering at Celebrat!ons Stud!o!

This framed piece will be one of my first class options I'm offering at my dear friend Zandra's Celebrat!ons Stud!o.





It features the Climbing Orchid's stamp set, and the Ruffled embossing folder.

The opening in the frame is 5 x 7" so the piece is a pretty good size.  I love the 3D effect!
When a final date is posted for this class, I'll update it on the blog, and on my Demonstrator Facebook Page.

Climbing Orchids Love

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this stamp set!  Truthfully, I didn't think I would, and wouldn't get any use out of it.  WRONG!  I was WRONG!

After playing around with the stamps a bit, I found I like the orchids cut out as three pieces, then assembled with dimensionals.  They look more realistic to me. 

 I used one of the new In-Colors, Tranquil Tide for the background and flower centers.  Stamp the images, die cut, and assemble!
 The picture below I took without flash so you have a better view of the dimension afforded by die cutting out each piece separately.
