Well, my Pittsburgh Steelers got beat last week, so my football-watching days are done for the year--better get to scrapping, and stamping, and quilting, and posting while the guys are watching the playoffs!
This morning the Quilt Class was all about the Dresden Plate block, using the new Dresden Design Bigz XL die from the Occasions Mini Catalog:
The die cuts the traditional round blades, but I also wanted to show how to sew them to be pointed blades. It is surprising how much easier this block becomes when you die-cut the blades instead of cutting them the old-fashioned way. Since you can cut up to eight layers of fabric at a time, you can cut all sixteen blades in two passes through the Big Shot!
Since I retired, I've been making thank you cards... and I need to finish sending them out now. Here is one of them using some new products:
The "Thanks so very much" on this card is from the Outlined Occasions Stamp Set" which is in the Sale-A-Bration catalog this year. (Sale-A-Bration begins on January 24, so let me know if you didn't get your catalog.) It is a little difficult to see in this photo, but at the bottom of the card are embossed hearts made with the Big Shot and the Adorning Accents Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, from the Occasions Mini Catalog which began January 3, 2012.
Happy Stamping!
Wendy
