Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween- Pumpkin Patch Colorize

Hello, crafty friends! Now that fall is officially here, it’s time to share all things spooky! And today I have a spooky sweet fabric project to share that I made for the Tim Holtz Sizzix Halloween release… a small pillow tuck made with Tim Holtz Eclectic Elements fabric and felt and the new Pumpkin Patch Colorize die set.

Now Tim has released lots of pumpkin die sets over the years, but this new Colorize set is a true favorite. In this set, you receive two different jack o’lantern images and two different bats, each with multiple layers that you die cut and stack for a real 3D appeal. I love that the dies come with base shapes, and then pieces that you layer to build up the design. You can see that I used yellow felt for the base here, and then stacked three shades of orange felt and two shades of green felt for the stems. And a little tip, if you don’t have enough colors of felt (or even paper, for that matter), you can add Distress ink to the felt to change the shade. For this project, I only had two colors of orange felt, so I inked up the felt with Rusty Hinge Distress ink to make a third, darker shade.

The felt I used is from Benzie Designs, and it really does die cut beautifully. Therm O Web Sprayn’Bond Fusible Adhesive was really helpful for adhering all these pieces together, without the need to sew. I fused the pumpkin and bats to a backing of Abandoned Eclectic Elements fabric and used a row of pom pom trim to create a grassy border. A bit of Distress-dyed seam binding was added in a bow, and vintage rick-rack trim was sewn around the border.

I love this time of year! Happy Fall y’all!

Say Cheese with Therm O Web & Miss Ink Stamps

Hello, crafty friends! I hope you are all doing well, as it’s been a bit since I’ve checked in here. The summer has ended up being a busier time than I expected it would, and that has kept me away longer than I planned. It’s been lovely, though…. I’ve had both kids around on and off and my parents were here visiting for most of the summer. After the super long break in visits due to Covid, it was really nice to see them again.

Today I’m going back a bit to share a project I made for the Therm O Web blog for a recent collaboration with Miss Ink Stamps. I used the adorable Say Cheese stamp set and their Scene Builder Stencil to make a gift set for my dear friend, Paige, who celebrates a birthday in July. I pulled out a really old pillow box die from Sizzix to make the gift box, using patterned paper from PhotoPlay Paper’s Fern & Willard collection. And the coordinating tag matches with the same paper, stamps, and fuzzy grass accents die cut from Therm O Web deco foil flock transfer sheets.

I am always a sucker for cute little critters! And these happy papers are so perfect for a bright summer day. I’ve got all the details and a step-by-step tutorial for these projects up on the Therm O Web blog, if you’d like to learn more.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hoppy Greetings with Therm O Web & Newton’s Nook

Happy Monday! This past week, the team at Therm O Web did a collaboration week with our friends at Newton’s Nook. And today I wanted to share the cards that I made for the Therm O Web blog using Newton’s adorable Hoppy Greetings stamp and die sets.

Although this stamp set is primarily an Easter theme, it does also have sentiment options that work well throughout the year. I paired this sweet bunny with some limited edition toner sheet card fronts from Therm O Web in a new color option, kraft! I used our green foil sheets to add foil highlights to the kraft card fronts. And I love how that green and kraft combo looks with this patterned paper from PhotoPlay Paper’s Sweet as Honey collection.

It’s been awhile since I’ve used my Zig Real Brush markers, and had almost forgotten how much I enjoy using those to watercolor. I broke out my corner rounder punch and favorite PhotoPlay borders die set to add some decorative details to the cards.

I’ve got the complete step-by-step tutorial for adding foil to our printed toner sheets, along with all the instructions for these cards, up on the Therm O Web blog, if you’d like to learn more.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead!

2021 Christmas Card Project- Week 5

Happy Friday, crafty friends! As I mentioned in a previous post, from now until December I am on a mission to make at least one holiday card a week during a crafty Zoom session with my friend, Kathie. It’s one way to stay connected to friends and family during these quarantine days, and a great way to build up my stash of cards for the year at the same time. I am calling this my 2021 Christmas Card Project, and each week I hope to share my progress with you.

For week 5, I made a winter-inspired shaker card using the adorable Winter Memories collection by PhotoPlay Paper and Deco Foil printed Toner sheets from Therm O Web.

Therm O Web Toner Sheets make the most perfect shaker windows, and they come in many different patterns and designs. For this card, I used a print that reminded me of falling snow, and used Opal Deco Foil transfer sheets to keep with a snowy feel. The sequin and bead mix is from Sizzix.

I love the sweet critters in this paper collection. One more holiday card to add to my stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Happy weekend, everyone!

Love Notes Tags with Therm O Web

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! I have more Valentine fun to share with you today. This time, a pair of love note tags that I made recently for the Therm O Web blog.

These tags once again feature the adorable Love Letters collection by PhotoPlay Paper that I shared yesterday. The tag die is also from PhotoPlay. Part of their Say It With Stamps line. I used more images from the new die cut sheets for the birds and mailboxes. Absolutely love that all the coloring is already done for you.

I used Therm O Web Glitz Glitter Gel to create the pretty falling heart pattern. And a bit of iCraft Deco Foil Flock sheet to make the snowbanks. Really love the texture they both bring. As always, I’ve got the complete step-by-step tutorial for this project up on the Therm O Web blog, if you’d like to learn more.

Happy Valentine’s!

You’re Snow Cool with Therm O Web & LDRS Creative

Happy Monday, crafty friends! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! It’s raining cats and dogs here today (and foxes and snowmen)… so a very good day to stay inside and tackle that holiday to-do list. I’m happy to say that the bulk of my Christmas cards are going out today, yay! Now we’ll just see if any of them make it in time.

Last week, the Therm O Web team joined up for the first time with LDRS Creative, and I received the cutest little fox stamps and dies to play with. I shared one card with you on Friday (scroll down one post or click here to see it), and today I am back with a second. This time pairing the adorable Snowball Fight and Pine Tree Forest stamps with Ranger’s new Kraft Heavystock paper and Therm O Web Glitz Glitter Gel in white. I absolutely love the look of white on kraft for the holidays, don’t you? Think it reminds me of brown paper packages, tied up with string. And these are a few of my favorite things.

As always, if you’d like to learn more about this project, head on over to the Therm O Web blog and check out my step-by-step tutorial. And thanks so much for stopping by!

Snowball Fight with Therm O Web & LDRS Creative

Happy Friday, crafty friends! The freezin’ season has hit us in North Carolina! If I didn’t believe it before, these temperatures we’ve been having definitely are reminding me that winter and Christmas are almost here. So perfect time to share this sweet holiday card with you today that I made for our collaboration with LDRS Creative on the Therm O Web blog this week.

If you’re not familiar with LDRS Creative, you need to check them out! They have some of the cutest stamps out on the market, and if you love critter stamps as much as I do, you will become an instant fan. This is the adorable Snowball Fight stamp and coordinating die set that I used on my petite 3.5×5 card today. The border of pine trees is one of their stamps, too. I paired both with a fabulous two-step stencil by PhotoPlay Paper and some bright red Glitz Glitter Gel by TOW. I always love a touch of sparkle at the holidays.

In honor of our fun collaboration this week, Therm O Web is offering up a $40 gift card to our online shop, so be sure to pop over to the blog to get yourself entered. And as always, I’ve got the full step-by-step tutorial for this project there, as well, if you’d like to learn more.

Therm O Web & Reverse Confetti Week

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! We’re having some fun on the Therm O Web blog, joining up with our friends at Reverse Confetti for a week of project ideas and inspiration. And of course a good collaboration week needs a prize giveaway, too, so be sure to keep reading to the bottom of this post.

I am up on the Therm O Web blog today with a fun card and tag set featuring new stamps from the Reverse Confetti November release paired with our fabulous iCraft Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets.

I am a big sucker for plaid, so I was very excited to receive the adorable Plaid Lines Big and Small Cover Panel die sets from Reverse Confetti. What awesome backgrounds they make, and such easy ones, too. I die cut two different shades of our green flock sheets for this card, and layered them onto a crisp white card base. The Circle Rays Duo die, the monstera  plant image, and the sentiment are all from RC, as well. I simply added a small piece of ribbon trim, and used pop dots for dimension, to finish this design.

I also made a pair of gift tags using the same floral and sentiment stamps sets as the card above. There are two different circle sizes in the Circle Rays Duo die set, and I used the smaller one this time to layer behind the openings of the tags. I love the extra detail that bit of texture adds to the background, and I tell you what…this fun Fold Over Window Tag die is one of my current faves from RC. So simple to put together, and useful for so many things.

If you are interested in learning more about today’s projects, I have the complete step-by-step tutorial posted on the Therm O Web blog. And now, how about a prize giveaway?

Happy Monday, crafty friends! It’s release day again at Therm O Web, and we are celebrating with another blog hop on Instagram. This time, the hop showcases the new Unity toner card fronts in winter and holiday designs. Hop along with us for lots of project ideas and inspiration, and fabulous prize giveaways, too.

I used two different techniques with the card fronts, though, to show you their versatility. The toner printing on the cards is designed for heat-transfer foiling, but these sheets can also be inked, colored, or cut out… like I’ve done here.

For more information on today’s hop, be sure to visit @unitystampco and @thermoweb on Instagram for all the details.
