Flowered Bib

Hi, Stampers. Today's blog will be a little different as I'm presenting something that requires no stamping, ink or paper at all. Instead, I'm combining my love of the Big Shot die-cutting machine with my other lover, fabric. I've created an iron on applique on a simple child's bib, but this technique can be done with any type of fabric that can be ironed.

First you need to iron adhesive to the back of the fabric you will be cutting. You can cut a couple of layers of fabric at one time, if you wish. I used the Daisies #2 die in this sample and cut fabric of 2 different colors for a little variety. After the fabric has been cut, simply remove the backing and iron onto the bib. I added a corduroy button at the flower center. As for washing, since it isn't sewn down, it will need to be washed on delicate. I hope you enjoy this idea.

Tissue Box

I thought of this idea last night when I was reaching for my own tissues.  Wouldn't it be a cute idea to put on a co-worker's desk if he/she wasn't feeling too well.  

Sorry the photo isn't too clear but I used Night of Navy to cut the matchbox using my Big Shot Die Cutter. Then I cut the oval on top with the small oval punch. The gift tag and ribbon are Bashful Blue.

The box hold one full-sized tissue. You can call it an emergency stash.

Quilted Card

When I saw this basic card idea I got so excited. It uses my Big Shot die cutter that I really love along with my punches...another love. It was easy to assemble. You cut a total of 12--1 1/4" squares (easily done with the SU! punch) and piece together on a piece of 4x5 cardstock. Then after they are glued you make littler x's along the seam lines like it was hand-stitched. Cute, huh? Then you run the entire 'quilt' through the die cutter using the Top Note die. After that you only have to add any words to the front. Enjoy!
