2012 Artisan Finalist Blog Tour - Day 9

Hi stampers!  Welcome to day 9 of our blog hop!  Wow, where has the time gone???  You probably just came from Tara's blog and her fabulous project!  Didn't you love it?  Don't worry if you didn't come from her blog though, we make a big loop so you can still see all the pretty pictures:-)

So, in the theme for the last three days I've got another baby project.  This was my other 3-D project and it's a cute little baby onesie that not only did I sew on but stamped on too!  I had seen some ruffled onesies on Pintrest and it got the wheels turning!  Most of them on Pintrest had ruffled bums but I wanted mine to be more like a skirt.  I can't thank my mother in law enough for helping me with this one too!  I'm so not a seamstress so she helped me big time!
Isn't it cute?  It turned out great although next time I think I'll spread my ruffles out a bit more.  So, besides the ruffles I added some eggplant ribbon (which I safety pinned on so it could be removed for washing) and I also stamped the giraffe from fox and friends and the word baby from pennant parade using craft ink (sadly craft ink has been retired).  I used my iron to heat set it.

Make sure to come back tomorrow for my very favorite project of my entires!  Now head on over to Connie's blog to see her awesome project! And make sure to check out everyone else's too!

HSS 120

Hi stampers!  It's Tuesday and time for another challenge over at Hand Stamped Sentiments!  This week is a little bit different....it's time for anything but a card!  This week is wearable art!


How fun????  So...anything wearable...pins, jewelry, head bands, clothing even!!!! Whatever you can come up with that is wearable!  Show us what you got!!!!  And feel free to model it:-P

I made a pin and it's kind of BIG:-)  It's almost 6 inches across!!!!  I have a few sweaters that are really plain so I thought a big pin might liven them up!  I might also put in on my purse. 
Stampin' Supplies:
Flirtatious designer series fabric, elegant eggplant scalloped dotted ribbon, subtles buttons, baker's twine, fun flowers die, thread, fabric glue, hot glue, pin

It was very easy to make.  First I took a strip of the hot pink fabric and sewed two rows of stitches and then pulled the top two threads to gather it into a circle and stitched the ends together (which is a big deal since I don't really sew much....SO if I can do this...anyone can, ha).  Then I took three of the wisteria flowers and two of the light pink ones and hand stitched them all together.  It might have looked even cooler with more flowers for more dimension!  I used fabric adhesive to glue on the ribbon and to glue the small group of flowers to the big base.  I then hot glued the button on top!  The bottom is just some felt cut in a circle and a pin hot glued on.  I used a magnetic one so it won't harm any fabric!  It took less than an hour to make!

Now, what wearable art can YOU make?????  Go check out what the rest of the team came up with....they are FABULOUS....and link up your creation!

Happy stamping....or sewing...or whatever:-)
