Sneak Peek Day 4: Nana's Needlework and Sentiments and Spring Has Sprung

Last day of previews, the party is almost here!! We start off tonight with Nina Brackett's newest set, "Nana's Needlework", filled with beautiful sewing and quilting elements. This sample uses the charming country shelf with a separate quilt and bar you can hang from below. After coloring the shelf with Copics, I paper pieced the quilt with two different patterned papers form the new "Spring Mix" StampTV kit (striped background is from the kit, too!) The base of the quilt is the tiny pink pattern and then I stamped it again on the floral, cutting out just a few squares. The triangular pattern you see on a few of the blocks is part of the stamp, these I colored in with Copics, as well.
I used one of the small patched elements in the set that can be stamped on the blanket, this time the heart, on it's own frame up in some oval die cuts to look framed. I couldn't resist tucking the bear from Rupa's "O Baby" set on top, the scale of it and legs dangling over the edge was too perfect! :)

Inside I used more of the patterned paper and created a border cutting two strips the same width from different patterns and then cutting them up randomly like quilt scraps, adding some faux stitching with a pen. The swirly stitched border I stamped over it is part of the set, too (this will be a really fun stamp for makign anythign look quilted, but check back here and at the party for more ideas I have for it!) The large cross stitched "Welcome Home" is from the new "Nanas's Sentiments", a smaller set that coordinates with the needlework stamps, must have greetings in just the right style for those sewing and quilting images! Card base is the new Gina K Pure Luxury Bubblegum Pink, and I LOVE it!

This next card uses Rupa's new "Spring has Sprung", the first image that jumped out at me was the darling duckling out for a sail in an umbrella. It went so well with the Cherish the simple pleasures, so I decided to make a whimsical scene for him to float through: Basic Grey's Sugar Rush had this fun dotted pattern that looked a litle like raining buttons! The piece for the water is from the same pack, and I Cuttlebugged this with a piece of Pure Luxury White for the clouds using D'vine Swirl, then trimmed around the curls and popped them up.

Ribbon and buttons are Pure Luxury, the base is the new Pure Luxury Red Hot, you will love this fiery new red, too!
