Belle Papier {pretty paper}

How often do you try stamping on something other than paper? Now and then I like to break out of the mold and try something different. A while ago I was throwing out a pair of my son’s jeans and had a bit of inspiration. With very little sewing the wide-legged jean leg would make a super easy pillow cover for the holidays. Because of the prefinished sides and bottoms…I only had to sew ONE seam! I know it’s a far cry from the days when I did heirloom sewing but…life is busier now!!!

Thanks so much for all your well wishes regarding my surgery. It went well and yesterday I started feeling more like myself. I imagine it will take a couple weeks for the inside swelling to go down and see how successful it was at minimizing my sinus headaches.

To create this stamped holiday throw pillow, I inked up my snowflakes from the Joyeux Noel stamp set with White Colorbox Pigment ink from Clearsnap. The Joyeux Noel set is the Cornish Heritage Farms product spotlight for the next two weeks. That means a SALE! Actually this is one of my favorite sets for this season. The sentiments are gorgeous and thesnowflakes are perfect for all winter season long.

Quick Tip: Pigment or craft inks are the best inks for stamping on fabric. Heat set with an iron to ensure longevity.

Hope your Saturday is simply wonderful!
