New greeting cards

It's official, I've become obsessed with making Sue's foiled note cards. I've bought a lot of plain note cards and I am working through odds and ends in my sewing room for ways to decorate them. This set was made from some silk fusion that I made in the first class that I took with Sue.

 

I added burgundy and silver foil with Mistyfuse and cut shapes to add to the front of the cards

and used some trimming bits on to the inside of the cards and the envelopes.

 

I think these will make a nice little gift. Now I'm off to see what else I can find to fuse to a card!

Isn't that clever wrapping and I love the cording. I think it's made with the Diva Cord Maker and I've got to get one! Here's what was inside....

Framing a gift of art

In May I was one of 6 lucky people to receive one of these cool art pieces from Terri. I wanted to get mine framed before posting it.

New fusion sheets

Thought I would post these photos of the most recent silk fusion sheets I made. I've decided that I like doing this so much that I'm setting up a separate category for the silk fusion projects.

Silk Fusion Tissue Boxes

How nice it was to have the energy and desire to spend yesterday in my sewing room! I did some quilt piecing in the morning and will write about that later. Yesterday evening I went back to Silk Fusion class to work on my 3rd lesson - making a box. Since I spent the week hugging tissue boxes I decided that I wanted my tissue boxes prettier - so my boxes are tissue boxes! I made two - one for my car and one for the large tissue boxes that I use in the house. Let' start with the car box...
