Elegant Birthday Card

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are well. Today I am digging into my supplies and using things in my stash that I have not used in a while or have not had the time to use. I have been a fan of Spellbinders dies for a very long time because I love the details you can achieve.

I used Kaisercraft papers and stamp set to create my sentiment. I also added flowers to create the elegance which I like to use. To complete my card I used some pearls.

It felt so good to use supplies from my stash. Please note, I am not sure if these products are still available but I will still list them in case you are interested.

Supplies:

Paper: Kaisercraft Lady Like 61/2" paperpad PP1080, Kaisercard Forest CD114, Snow CD301

Stamp: Kaisercraft Birthday Wishes Sentiment CS362 

Dies: Spellbinders Becca Feeken Chantilly Paper Lace S5327, Kaisercraft Small Nested Shapes Nesting Dies

Other: Martha Stewart leaf punch, Versafine Vintage Sepia, Kaisercraft Pearls, Wild Orchid Crafts blooms

Granny Square Bag

 

Hello everyone! I hope that you are having a great day. I have been busy making lots of granny squares. I came across a tutorial by B.Hooked Crochet where you use a tote bag as a liner for your crochet. I loved this idea and thought I would do this.

I purchased a polyester tote bag from Kmart. My crochet squares didn't reach the top and sides of my bag. I joined my nine squares together using a SC then crocheted one row of clusters around the edge. Once the front and back were done in this way, I joined the sides and bottom with SC. 

I attached 4 buttons where the straps are on the tote bag. I SC around the top part of the bag till I reached the buttons. It was approx 5 rows then I added a row to make 4 button holes, SC more rows and then the bag was complete.

Thanks to B.Hooked Crochet for this great idea!

Beanie and fingerless gloves

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since I posted. School reports took over but now I have time to be creative. I have been enjoying knitting and crocheting again since its been cold. I'll be sharing the projects I have made, a lot using my Sentro knitting machines. I used a 46 needle Sentro to make the beanie and I used the braid stitch technique to add some fun detail. I used some left over wool to crochet these gloves...so happy with how they turned out. 

I have more to share soon.
