The Quilted Scrapper

I am absolutely in love with the Close to My Heart Textile fabrics. I have played with Chantilly and will be order For Always next time I place an order. Today I am using strips of fabric to create fabric flowers. Here is the final product: To create the flower I started with my liquid glass, an approximately 1 1/2" strip of fabric and a small piece of scrap paper. I first folded my fabric in half length wise, wrong sides together. I then applied a generous amount of liquid glass to the scrap paper. Then I started rolling. Your hands will get messy and you will use LOTS of liquid glass, but the result is worth it. I just rolled it up like a coil until I was happy with the size and then cut the fabric and used the remaining fabric to create a smaller flower. This type of flower is very forgiving and you can place a button in the middle to cover any imperfections.

I love how easy and quick it is to make small gift bags with the Art Philosophy Cartridge. One sheet of paper, some scraps and you are ready to go. This will be great to have on hand to stick little chocolate's in for a quick gift.

Every day from now until Christmas I will post a handmade Christmas project idea. Today's is a simple card but everyday will be different. I hope this provides you some inspiration this Christmas season. I absolutely love the Holiday Wish Stamp Set Close to My Heart came out with last month. However, this was my first chance to use it. I also used the wonderful Art Philosophy Cartridge from Close to my Heart.
