Sweatshirt Makeovers

Attached are some pictures of Sweatshirts that I re-made into cardigans and a vest.  I recently retired from working full time and am now employed part time at a local quilt shop.  I love it.  I even took a beginning quilting class and made a Christmas table runner.  I have been a sewer since I was 14 so making quilts even though Im a beginner should not be too hard for me.
I designed these shirts for a class I taught at the store.  If you would be interested in purchasing the pattern for one (or all) of the shirts please email me at hshocraf@tds.net or visit my etsy store by clicking HERE
The black one is shown as a vest but it too can be transformed into a cardigan by putting the sleeves back into it after you quilt the front.

Halloween Silhouettes’

It has been a long time since I have been able to work with MTC.  I did a few simple halloween silhouettes, hope you enjoy them.  Here is the link to download them, each one is saved as a MTC, and an SVG file.  The jpeg file is also included.  I did not get a chance to cut them so if you run into problems please let me know.

Build A Blossom Cards

I made these three cards using the Build A Blossom Punch and matching stamp set by Stamp In Up.  I love the matching set.  Each card is made with the same stamps and punch but each has it's own unique look.  I got the ideas from U-tube videos that I watched.

 

Money Holder

I created this Money holder to go along with graduation cards etc.  I'm sure others have created them also but I was not able to find any free ones.  I want to do a series of different envelopes.  This is the first in the series.  I just cut mine out of regular scrapbook paper.  You can see where it needs to be scored.  I even got the oval in the right place. I did however make the oval a little smaller than this one.  I thought this oval was just a little large, I have not cut it since I changed the file, but Im sure it will be ok.   There is a flap that folds down over the one you see.  It is there but it is not very visible against the white wall.

Butterfly Shape Card

This is the first of three cards I have so far for the Shape Card Hop that will take place on Sunday the 15th.  

I was very pleased with the way this card turned out.  It measures 4 ¾ X 5.  I used  Classic K Charlotte two sided designer paper.  I inked the edges of the card with Versa Magic chalk ink.  I top of the wings are also done in that.  The bottom of the wings are edged with two different glitter glue pens by Martha Stewart.  They I put the rhinestones on the wings and the bow in the center.   The antennas also have the glitter glue on them.  When I decide to use  the card I will attach a little tag to the front that says Happy Birthday, Get Well or whatever sentiment I need.  The picture does not do the card justice.  Feel free to re-size but do not re-share please send them here to download it.  The image was purchased from Digi Scrap Kits.

Happy Birthday Card

This card is quite large, feel free to re-size it.  The one in the photo below measures 11 1/2 X 4 3/4.  It opens from the top down.  Again the picture is not so good but the card is cute.  I used a micro marker to outline the letters and then added a stick on balloon and some rhinestones.

Dump Truck Card

I thought this image would make a cute card and it did. The image came from clip art purchased at Trina's Country Clip art, see her link on the left.  It opens from the side, it measures 5 3/4 X 3 3/4.
  Feel free to re-size it.  I used some rub on Happy Birthday words that I had, but a stamp or a tag attached to the front would be cute also, or just leave it without anything and add the sentiment to the inside.
