Lilith's scrapbooking venture: February 2022

17 February 2022

Hello there everyone and welcome to the Dreamy Bouquet Blog Hop featuring Altenew's newest product: Fabric Collection. If you have hopped over from Laurie Willison's blog you are right on track. You can start the hope over on the Altenew Card Blog.

I created a tote bag with the fabric pieces and used 4 of the 5 designs so that it can be turned inside out.

I created two panels each with two designs. Before sewing everything together I added a thin layer of fiberfill. You can get it in different thicknesses and I went with the thinnest. I stitched around the edges and added bright pink bias as well some stripped ribbon.

The stitching of the bias isn't perfect and it has been a while since I used it. I thick I could have gone with a wider width as my layers were pretty thick. Overall I'm really happy the way it turned out. I created it without a pattern and just went with the sizes of the panels.

Don't you think the colours are amazing?! I wish they would make them in regular fabric size because I could see myself making a dress with several of these designs.

4 February 2022

Welcome to the All Things Handmade Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have hopped over from Therese Calvird's blog you are right on track. You can start the hop over on the Altenew Card Blog.

For today's hop I created two projects with the same products. I used the new Alcohol Ink Backgrounds 6x6 Paper Pack and combined the paper with the Mod Vases Die Set.

For my layout, I created a "shelf" for my vases.

How to:

Cut out a variety of vase shapes with the dies from the Mod Vases Die Set.
Add some Turquoise Watercolor Brush Marker onto some scrap plastic and spray with water.
Tap the plastic onto some white cardstock and create a blue inky background.
Create a shelf with two slim washi tapes (Cool Summer Night Slim Washi Tape Set)
Arrange your vases on the shelf.
Cut out some leaves using the Just Leaves Die Set. Pop them in some of the vases.
Place your photo and add a doodled edge.
Stamp your title with the You Are Everything Stamp Set.

I didn't add any other embellishments as the colourful vases are more than enough. I did add some doodled scribbles.

For my card, I used up the leftover vases from the layout. I layered a piece of cardstock from the Alcohol Ink Backgrounds Paper Pack and layered it on top of some Altenew Navy cardstock. I also cut out a vase from the navy cardstock.

To make the vases stand out, I drew a border around the edges with a white and black pen.
