BOM: Sweet Nostalgia free!

Thanks to alert blogger Quilter Going Bananas, I just downloaded my very first Block of the Month (BOM) called Summer’s Gone, from Dorothy Baker Designs blog. The embroidery motif of school children approaching their big yellow school bus captures the excitement of going back to school.

Oh, and did I mention it’s free? Yes, Dorothy is offering her Sweet Nostalgia quilt project free – one block at a time. She explains,

This project will have 12 blocks in total, with one block being released around the 15th of each month until August 15, 2010.

Go here for more details. She even provides links to online references for making embroidery stitches.

Yana used products from Waffle Flower to create an amazing collection of travel cards with trendy faux postage styles. Starting with white cardstock and a stencil that has different square and rectangle openings she used bright and bold ink pad colors and ink blended the background sections. Next using black ink she stamped the silhouette images of tropical trees, birds, boats and beachy designs along with faux cancellation marks and postage prices. Next she used coordinating dies to cut the postage edges, notice how some stamp sheets were kept together while others she tore apart.

On some cards she also made them look like tiny envelopes and also included tiny sentiment strips or stamped phrases.

She sharing a video tutorial on how to create these trendy travel postage card designs over on the Yana Smakula blog.
