Goose Tales Halloween Fabric Basket

Hello everyone!! I’m back again with another cute sewing project for you. Are you ready for Halloween?

I know its months away, but since we’ve been on this stay at home order, days are combining with each other, and before you know it, Halloween will be here. I just hope we can celebrate it.

With that said, I used a brand new fabric collection called Goose Tales by J. Wecker Frisch.

Take a look at my Goose Tales Halloween Fabric Basket:

I love this fabric basket. It’s beautiful and deep for all of the candy my niece will collect.

Let’s take about this fabric collection:

Goose Tales was created by J. Wecker Frisch, a designer that I met last year when her Paperdoll collection was released. I actually won the entire set and bunch of other goodies in a contest. That was fun. I followed her ever since.

This collection contains 24 different prints, 2-panel pieces, and 1 border stripe.

Let’s dive into how to create your own fabric basket:

Materials:

1/2 yard of Goose Tales Book Spines Border Strip (outer fabric)
1/2 yard of Goose Tales Text Black (lining fabric)
Fusible Fleece Interfacing
Button
Pins
Ruler
Rotary Cutter
Cutting Mat
Scissor

Instructions on how to create a Goose Tales Halloween Fabric Basket:

Cutting fabric:

Cut one piece of outer fabric and one piece of the lining to 27 inches x 11.5 inches.

Cut one piece of interfacing to 26 inches x 10.5 inches.

Cut one piece of the outer fabric for the bottom of the handle to 23 inches x 3.75 inches.

Cut one piece of the lining fabric for the top of the handle to 23 inches x 2-3/8 inches.

Cut one piece of interfacing for the handle to 23 inches x 1-1/8 inches.

Cut 3 circles out of the outer, lining, and interfacing to 8-3/4 inches.

(I used my Cricut Maker to cut the circles.)

Making the bag:

Handles:

With right sides together, sew the outer fabric and the lining together on the long side using a 1/4 inch seam allowance.

Press the seam open.

Place the interfacing on the outer fabric piece close to the seam line.

Fold the lining towards the seam.

Fold the outer fabric towards the seam.

Press.

Fold the lining fabric over the outer fabric, leaving an accent trim on both sides. Press.

Pin and topstitch on both sides of the handle.

Bag:

Place the lining fabric right side down.

Place the interfacing on top and iron in place.

Fold the lining fabric right side together along the short side and sew straight down using a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Press seams open.

Iron the circle fusible fleece to the wrong side of the circle lining fabric.

Attach the bag base to the bag lining with pins. Sew a 1/2 inch seam allowance.

Repeat the same steps for the outer fabric.

Place the outer piece inside the lining piece.

Line the tops of both pieces and pin in place.

Sew a 1/4 inch seam along the top, leaving about a 4-inch opening to turn the bag.

Pull the bag right side out through the opening.

Push the basket down, making sure the bottom edges meet. Make sure the seams match and smooth the fabric out.

Add 2 lines of topstitching to close the hole.

Sew the handles in place.

Sew a button on one side of the handle.

The bag is done!

Let’s take another look:

What do you think? Would you try and create a Goose Tale Halloween Fabric Basket yourself? I would love to see it.

Clean and Simple Ways To Use Rinea Foil Paper!

Posted in February 2017, Guest Designing, Rinea by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! I’m super excited to be here! I’m guest designing for Rinea today. I’m going to show you three clean and simple ways to use Rinea foil paper!

Lets get started!

Take a look at card number one:

Using Rinea Foil Paper as the Focal Point!

hello-foil

Using Rinea foil paper as the focal point creates a clean and simple card!

To create this card:

Cut the card base to 6.25 by 7.50 scored at 3.75.
Using die cutting machine, run the Rinea foil paper with The Ton Stamps Brushed Hello Coordinating Die, through the machine. Once with the Rinea silver foil paper and once with the Rinea blue foil paper.
Adhere the silver sentiment first using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue. Then adhere the Rinea blue foil sentiment die cut on top of the silver, in an offset manner. Offsetting the sentiment, creates dimension.
Using a corner rounder, round all of the corners.

Nice and easy! What do you think? Pretty simple right!!

Take a look at card number two:

Using Rinea Foil Paper to Balance Out the Card Design!

many-thanks

Using Rinea foil paper with paints keeps the card design balanced!

To create this card:

Cut you card base to 4.25 by 11 scored at 5.50.
Then prepare your card stock for paint. Add tape at the score line to prevent paint from touching the backside of the card.
Use an old gift card and pull the paint down the card stock. After each swipe, wipe the gift card off. Then repeat the process until all of the paint dots are smeared.
Using a die cutting machine, die cut My Favorite Things Many Thanks Die using the Rinea silver foil.
Adhere the Rinea foiled die cuts to the card front using Tombow Mono Liquid Glue.

Pretty easy! An easy introduction to mixed media! Another fun way to use Rinea foil paper! What do you think?

Take a look at project number three:

Using Rinea Foil Paper for the entire Project!

foiled-easter-baskets

Using Rinea foil paper as the project, takes foil paper to the next level!

To create these baskets:

Using a die cutting machine, cut the Rinea blue and silver foil using Mama Elephant Cute Basket die cut and cut out all of the pieces with the Rinea foil paper.
Assemble the basket according to the instruction that comes with the die.
Change up the basket colors by mix and matching the different color Rinea oils.
Once the baskets are together, add the cripple paper and eggs!

Lets look at those baskets again:

foiled-basket-2

I love how the Rinea foil looks. So pretty and different then regular cardstock. Rinea foil paper folds and rips just like paper but it is much prettier. Its a bit lighter then cardstock but heavy enough to create these baskets and hold these eggs without fear of ripping.

Easy and requires a bit more assembling but it’s worth it.

So what do think? Will you give Rinea foil paper a try? I think you should. The possibilities are endless. Please let me know what you think. I would love to hear from you.

Your Next Stamp April 2016 Sneak Peek

Posted in April 2016, Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!!! I’m back again for this month’s Your Next Stamp Sneak Peek!!

We are getting ready for our April Release Blog Hop tomorrow with a sneak peek today. Are you excited? I am!!

Take a look at my card that I’m giving you a sneak peek of:

Just a little something (YNS)

YNS Supplies: From My Garden, Crystal Clear Gumdrops

Other Supplies: Recollection Heavyweight White Cardstock, Copic Markers, We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper, Mini Misti

This was a super simple card to create.

I scored the cardstock with three lines.

Then I used the Mini Misti to stamp the sentiment and the basket on a separate piece of cardstock.

I used Copic markers to color in the image.

Then I adhered the basket to the card front in between the sentiment.

I added three gumdrops for the a finishing touch.

Nice and easy!

I hope I see all of you tomorrow for the April 2016 Release Hop.

Hello everyone!! I’m here today with the Sparkle and Shine Challenge!!!

Here is the inspiration photo that guided us this time around:

March 15_2016

Now take a look at my card:

Bunny felt (SSS)

I have to admit I was stuck when I saw the inspiration photo. I don’t have any wreath stamps or dies. The colors aren’t my favorite either. What do I do?

This weekend my mother taught my daughter and nieces how to stitch and I remembered I had the Simon Says Stamp Stitch die, and the bunny at that. So I went with that. I’ve never used any type of stitching on my cards. So this was a bit fun.

The basket was created with felt but bunny, his carrot and flowers were created with paper (I didn’t have felt in those color, LOL)

Nice and some what easy!!

What do you think?

Now its your turn to give this challenge a try!! I can’t wait to see what you come up with!!

Our sponsor for this challenge is Right At Home!!

The winner of this challenge will receive a $15 gift card to their online store and will be asked to be our Guest Designer for the next month.

CASology 136 – Basket and Giveaway!

Posted in CASology Challenge, Giveaway, March 2015 by Kreative Kymona

Hello everyone!! It’s CASology Tuesday!! We are back again with another Cue Card for you!!

So this cue word seems easy, right? Well not so easy. I had nothing, nothing in my stash that screamed “Basket”. I search all of my retired stamps and my new stamps that haven’t been touch yet and I couldn’t find anything with a basket.

Then I remember, the light bulb went off, I received some new stamps for an upcoming release from So Suzy Stamps and guess what stamp was in that package. Yes, a basket of apples!! I was super excited. I’m still in the race with my fellow DT members!!

Take a look at my card:

Yes, this basket of apples saved the day for me. To create this card was super easy minus the coloring.

1. I cut my card base to an A2 size card (4.25 x. 5.50). I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Sweater Weather Patten Paper and adhered it to the front of my card base.

2. I used My Favorite Things Die-namics Stitched Rounded Rectangle STAX die to cut out a piece of white cardstock.

3. I stamped my image and colored it in with Copic Markers; W4, Y13, Y15, Y19, E31, E33, E35, E37, R22 R24 and N5.

4. I stamped my sentiment from Lawn Fawn Good Teacher stamp set.

5. I adhered the white panel to the front of my card base with foam adhesive.

6. I added some Clear Wink of Stella to my apples and belly ban on my basket.

That was it! Nice and easy thanks to So Suzy Stamps!! So since her basket of apples saved the day for me.

I’m doing a giveaway!!!! Two lucky winners will win a pre-release Basket of Apples stamp!
