Today I made about 4 hostess gifts to get ready for the holiday season in a little less than an hour! I'll show you how! We'll be stamping on fabric today! You'll need some fabric paints, dish towels (I like the flour sack ones...they seem to be the easiest to stamp on.) a foam brush, and stamps. For this project I used the Joyeux Noel set. You'll want to put some paint on your foam brush, but not too much! It should look something like this: Then use the brush as an ink pad for your stamps. Instead of rubbing your stamp on the brush, dab it, exactly like you do to get ink onto your stamp from an ink pad. The stamp … [Read more...]

Tutorial Tuesday – Stamped Spring Napkins!
These were super simple to do! I used the stamps from the Have A Tweet Day stamp set. These are cotton napkins I found for $1 a piece at Garden Ridge. Just pull out your ink and stamp directly onto the napkins! It's easy using the clear stamps because you can see exactly where the image is going, and you can make sure that you have ink covering the entire image before you stamp. Use a permanent ink like Stewart Superior's Hybrid ink. Heat set it with your iron without using steam and you're ready to go for a wonderful Easter brunch! I love the little bird feet border on this one! And a little nest garland with occasional eggs! Happy … [Read more...]
