Penguin Trio

 Hi Everyone!

Here's a trio of playful penguins for your stitching delight!

I designed these for Herrschners and they are now available in their plastic canvas kits. You can find them here.

I hope you have as much fun stitching them as I did designing them!

Beaded Crosses

Image
Hi Crafters! Welcome to the first Monday of April and the Designer Crafts Connection Blog Hop.  I hope you'll take the time to hop around the blogs using the big blue button on the left of my entry.  After reading mine, of course! This time in honor of Easter Week, I have designed Beaded Crosses and a step-by-step tutorial for them.  These crosses are made with pressed glass beads (4mm and 6mm) and 28-gauge wire.  They are about 3 inches long. But, this is a versatile design.  You can also use heavier (22-gauge) craft wire and acrylic beads.  This one is about 4 1/2 inches long. So, the whole family can participate!  You could go smaller and create one with seed beads on thread.  Or, you can go bigger and use larger acrylic beads or large wood beads with plastic lacing or yarn.  The smaller ones look nice tied onto a ribbon and used as a bookmark.  Or, you can hang them in the window for a suncatcher. Here's how: ...

Etchall/Stencil Girl Blog Hop

Image
Hi Everyone! Today I'm participating in a blog hop using etchall® products and a Stencil Girl stencil. Here's the stencil that I chose from Stencil Girl.  It's Birds & Bunnies .  It's perfect for spring and Easter. Since these stencils don't have an adhesive backing, you have to apply one.  Etchall® stencil spray works great for this. Follow the directions on the spray to create the adhesive backing, then adhere it to the surface.  I decided to create a stenciled glass jar that I can use to hold flowers, candies or a candle. I applied the stencil spray rather heavily to insure a good seal, then I smoothed the stencil down with the squeegee.  This stencil has finely cut pieces that have to be adhered to give the detail. Here's how it turned out: All the details in the stencil showed up well, but I wanted to add a little color to this bunny.  I used Rub 'n Buff in Pewter to add some color.

Coffee Filter Angel

Image
Hello and Happy New Year! I love angels and every once in awhile, I just have to create one.  (See my Pinterest board for some of the other angels I've created.) Now is the perfect season to create one - or a bunch - and I've had this idea "brewing" in my mind for awhile!  (I know, it's a bad pun!) For this craft, you will need a foam cone (9"), a foam ball (2") and fluted coffee filters.  You can use unbleached filters like I did or white ones if you like. Materials for Angel You will also need some craft basics - craft or paper glue, toothpicks and scissors.  You can also use sequin pins or straight pins to attach the coffee filters.  And, of course, add embellishments of your choice. To start, cut into a coffee filter and cut around the center.  Wrap the ruffle around the base of the cone. Continue to wrap the ruffled filters around the cone overlapping as you go.  Pin or glue at the back and trim any extra.  You can also...
