Currently working on…..

July 22, 2011 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 8 Comments

While I had my die cutting machine out yesterday, I worked on a card and matching gift box for a friends birthday. For the gift box, I used this svg file.

I am also working on a chicken scratch embroidery project – here is a peak at the progress so far.

Sarah and I would like to warmly welcome our newest sponsor, Tammy from Marmalade Fabrics. Tammy stocks a staggering 130 colours of Kona Cotton Solids, and an impressive range of modern fabric. We have purchased fabric from Tammy and she provides great customer service. What we like about Marmalade Fabrics is that you can buy fat quarters or yards, which gives you greater choice. For those of you in the US, there is free shipping on orders over $50.

This is the last weekend before we resume school and work next week. Why do holidays always go so fast?

    The card and gift box are so pretty! And I can’t wait to see what you are making with chicken scratch – the colors are beautiful! Also, thanks for the mention of Marmalade Fabrics, I’m definitely going to check them out – always looking for another place to buy fabric!

    Oh Lisa the card and gift box are beautiful, obviously you have worked out how to use the SCAL, you will have to teach me. “The Three of Us” have some chicken scratching to do on our next project (I have never done it before) yours is looking lovely.
    Off to a Thermo mix emo tomorrow, taking Joe with me as he is the one with all the money at the moment.

    I always love seeing what you’re working on because you’re always making the cutest stuff! That card and gift box set is adorable – love the dimensional butterflies. I love the combination of the red thread and aqua check or gingham too. Such a great color combo!
