Sunbonnet Strawberry Watering Can

~ sproatmeyer ~ Leave a comment

I found a tutorial online on how to make a paper quilt and thought it was awesome so I gave it a whirl and made one of my own.  I changed the focal point to include a stamp and sentiment but the quilt motif works perfectly with the Sunbonnet stamp. For this project, I used Sunbonnet Strawberry Watering Can rubber stamp from Little Miss Muffet Stamps.

Here are the Copic markers I used on  Sunbonnet Strawberry Watering Can:
R02, 05, 12, 27, W5, 7
BG90, 93, 99, G46, W5, 7
C1, 3, 5, 7
E31, 35, 37
E41, 42
Y26, 28, YR30, 31, W3
BV23, W9, BG32
The tutorial is by Lawn Fawn and is “How to make a Paper Quilt.” 
The sentiment is a Make it Crafty chipboard embellishment.

Shaker Maker

It’s the March Release week of posts for Whimsy Stamps. All new products are available now but each day we’ll showcase different products. Today we are showcasing several new clear stamps, 1 rubber background stamp, 2 new stencils and 3 standalone dies today.

For my card, I used the Shaker Maker metal die which comes with two shaker frames plus a part that makes the confetti. It’s a versatile die that can be used for more than just shaker cards too.  I chose to go with bright and bold papers then I filled the shaker component with coordinating colors and little Fimo bees. 

Heart Throb Kit

Here’s another card I created with the Heart Throb Kit from Queen & Company. I got the card layout and idea from Melissa Phillips from the Queen DT.  Thanks for the inspiration!  This year, I ended up create six or seven cards from the kit.  I need to get some more shaker refills so it was a good break and I put the kit away until later.
