Stash Busting


 I'm guest designing for Stashbusting this month and have these two layouts to share...


The theme to bust this month is sequins.  Hmm... I wonder why they chose me as guest designer?  Hahaha!


Supplies for this layout are from my Quirky Custom Card kit along with sequins and Shimmerz from SpiegelMom's.




 The second layout uses an entire pack of Doodlebug sequins that I have had in my stash for 5+ years.


 It's not a difficult technique by any means, it just takes time to stick each sequin down individually.


I've also pulled out my favourite sewing technique.  Sew and skip, let's call it that.  Sew the first stitch in the first colour (lime in this case) and then skip ahead for the next stitch.  I had five thread colours so skipped four holes before the next lime stitch.  Once you've finished the entire row you then go back with your second colour, then the third etc. 


The paper layers I've used are snippets of previous painty experiments.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Happy Whats On Your Workdesk Wednesday !  As promised a picture of last Wednesdays 'work' finished off.  Post and more photos here . This week I'm showing off the beaded ATC I made... Tricky to photograph so your getting one with flash and one without... It was all parcelled up and sent off to Queen of Desks Julia .  Here is a basic of how it was made... (lots of waffle about wefts and warps!) I use a flexible beading needle.  It is mainly 'eye' so it is very easy to thread. And delica beads which are more regular and accurate than the better known seed bead.  They are slightly more rectangular than round so they line up better. Thread your needle with the weft thread.  (The cross ways thread that weaves back and forth.)  Pick up the beads... Pass the needlefull of beads underneath the warp (tight length ways) threads on the loom... ...and push each bead u...

Hoppity!

Hoppity hoppity!!  :) Hopeful you have arrived here from Fleur 's blog as part of the Crafty Ribbons Easter Hop .  If not and you've found yourself here wondering what on earth I'm on about (and let’s face it J you wouldn’t be the first!!) check out the Inspirations site for all the juicy details! My project for the hop is         Easter bunting!  I cut three templates first - a triangle pennant, a bird and a heart.        Then I cut the pennant shapes from fibre ribbon, threaded them on to some 3mm satin and evenly spaced them.  I embellished each flag with some beads...       I backed the birds and heart on some thin white card and glued them to the centre of the pennants.   My supplies list: yellow fibre , pink fibre , lime fibre , 3mm satin , button box , white card, glue, beads, needle and thread.   ...
