home designs on craft crafting challenge rules thursday 10 august 2017 fabric book covers i have been frantically making some more book covers as i am at the shambles market in stroud on saturday 12th august two of these have been made by sewing together 2 5 strips of fabric for the outside and them quilting them onto the wadding the other 5 are all block printed some were block printed on commercial material while the rest started out with white fabric which i coloured and dried before block printing over the top posted by shirl at 15 41 no comments labels block printing blocks colouricious quilting sewing hello a good morning s work this morning with both block printing and screen printing the block printed linen strips are for embellishing some of my fabric book covers the screen printed zentangle animals have been printed on both sides of small calico drawstring gift bags all i have to do now is wait for them to dry completely and then iron them to heat set the inks to make them washable i did some other things too but they are still work in progress and will be included another day posted by shirl at 15 26 no comments labels block printing blocks colouricious screen printing screen sensations monday 24 july 2017 zipped pouch usnf hand screen printed fabric a second post for today just to make up for lost time this fabric as screen printed using the

the fore although i use these techniques on card too i am now getting into sewing to use the fabrics that i produce the notebook cover below is the first of my products from my own fabric the base fabric was a commercial print but then i have block printed over the top with fabric paint using a block from colouricious posted by shirl at 18 30 no comments labels block printing colouricious hand made notebook covers sunday 28 april 2013 messing with pebeo fantasy prisme paints good morning happy sunday what with one thing and another it has been so long since i have blogged i just hope i haven t forgotten how to do it but now things should be slightly less hectic at work and so hopefully i will be able to craft in the evenings instead of falling asleep last weekend i did manage to have a bit of a play with free form fantasy prisme paint no cerne relief paste was used these two frames were laid on my desk ensuring that they were a flat and level as they could be then i just poured and dripped various colours onto them and let them do their own thing the results are brilliant i hope you like them posted by shirl at 10 21 1 comment labels pebeo fantasy prisme sunday 24 march 2013 a busy time in february and march wow what a busy month we have had hence no time to do crafting things for the blog we have had one craft fair several stalls at the shambles market in stroud 2 visits to the craft trade fair at the nec in birmingham and a flying visit to essex the latter was exciting as i have been given a professional machine to manufacture my own stamp range yes it is true i was given 3 500 worth of machine by someone who no longer had use for it over the next month or so i will have to gather the other things required to make the stamps and then try and work out how to make them chris was very kind and wrote down as many instructions as she could so watch this space for news of me producing my own stamps for sale posted by shirl at 11 06 no comments

machine just to make sure that they were well and truly needle felted i have to say that i am quite pleased with the effect i trimmed them up and mounted them onto white card cut out with a beautiful spellbinder die before attaching them to a a5 card base embellished with a beautiful double sided satin ribbon i will have them on my craft stall today the the stonehouse community centre in

challenge just take 2 critter sketch challenge 148 crafty cardmakers challenge 83 belated birthday cards for men challenge 2 transport i used spellbinders to cut out the image the image mount the square cut into two triangles and the two banners for the belated birthday greeting the image of the van was from a sheena douglass for creative expressions stamp and the sentiment from a stamp by chocolate baroque the main image was stamped with mahogany distress ink and a damp paint brush was used to pull the ink in from the image to shade it i loved the sentiment for a belated birthday card an elephant never forgets unfortunately i do the square and the banners started out as white card which was coloured all over with various distress inks splashes of water which were mopped up with tissue give the extra distressing effect the design was taken from the critter sketch challenge which i turned on its side i took the liberty of adding the sentiment the background is navy blue pearlescent card and the brad heads on the banner were made with copper pearlidoodles posted by shirl at 06 55 4 comments labels chocolate baroque distress ink sheena douglass spellbinders sunday 20
