July Card Challenge - Christmas Cards

For this challenge (#344) I decided to play around with embossing powder, my aqua pen and bleach. It was fun to experiment and come up with new designs. Part of this challenge was to CASE a fellow design team members card. I used a card created by Kimberly Skinner as inspiration:



Here are my cards that I created:








First, I embossed the cards using several stamps that I own. They are older, retired stamps- which I think also need to be used. Why collect stamps if your not planning on using them again in the future? The retired stamp sets can easily be found on EBay or on Facebook through"CRAFTING ITEMS FOR SALE OR TRADE"  for crafters. The poinsettias however are a newer stamp set and still available from Stampin’ Up. I added bleach to my aqua pen marker and then colored in the letters on season and the snowman- the bleach lightened the card stock. 










Supplies used, click on pictures if you want to find them online:

Fidget Blanket (Fummeldecke) Ideas

This will be my first time ever making a fidget blanket- I was so happy to have the opportunity today to gift my Oma a fidget blanket. I love her with all my heart, it just makes me so sad that not much can be done for her while struggling through dementia. She told me it was beautiful and she appeared to like it. I showed her each square and what she can do with it. The first thing she noticed was the wording; „Mit Liebe Gemacht“ which translates to „Made with love“.  Oma Hildegard is German and I wanted to make sure she would recognize things and always remember that we love her.  What is a Fidget Blanket? Fidget blankets are therapeutic small lap quilts to which different kinds of things are sewn or added on. These items offer sensory stimulation that can have a calming effect on patient who struggle with memory loss. The Fidget blankets help them stay busy avoiding boredom. It provides a means of performing repetitive behaviors that are often reassuring and calming. ...

Diamonds Are Forever Quilt Block

Saw this pattern on Facebook and Pinterest, so I eyed the pattern and came up with my own measurements. Supposedly... this is a old pattern. It caught my attention because it uses remnants of fabric and I hate seeing things go to waste. This project uses a dryer sheet. So... save your dryer sheets!  Cut a piece of paper and dryer sheet to 6.5” square.  Find the 2” width and mark with line.  Draw a line on the left and right to the bottom center.  Cut out pattern piece.  Cut a rectangular piece of fabric for the center piece. 3” x 9.5” Place pattern piece on top of the fabric and cut to size. I used symmetrical patterns / colors on each side of the diamond. The width of fabric was 1/2” - 2”, s and used scrap triangle pieces for the ends.  Watch short video clip „ here “ Finished block size should be 6.5“ Very similar to endless chain:
