Stamp design and color


When done with coloring staple strip, clear piece and completed page together at top. 


I stamped the bottom of the page with a personalized stamp saying: “Created with love by Stefanie Seaver”. I purchased the stamp from www.stampsbyimpression.com. 


Use black sharpie and trace designs on to the clear paper. 


Stamps floral designs on to white paper, color and fussy cut. 







I trimmed the top a little and added washi tape to seal it. 


Flowers and leaves after coloring and fussy cut. Then I clued them to the front of the card. 


Stamps used:



Then I made a small envelope to hold my letter using my Stampin’ Up! Envelope punch board. I love this thing!

I bought the tropical paper from Hobby Lobby. It was 4 for $1.00- great deal. 


Wanted to add an envelope liner to cover up the white part of the paper. 

Used paper from “happy place” scrapbook paper booklet that I have had forever. I liked the pink flowers and thought it would be a good fit. 



For the envelope I used a stamp set by Stampabilities that I found at Hobby Lobby. 






All done. I hope my friend Kyra likes her card.

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?

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:
