Firstly, a huge hello and thank you to all the lovely people who have commented on my little blog in last couple of days. I feel very thrilled that wordpress chose my ‘little piece of pie’ to be freshly pressed. Sorry I couldn’t write back individually to each comment, there were so many! Welcome, I hope you enjoy reading my blog, it’s wonderful for me to be able to share with you.
I have been meaning to ‘show and tell’ this cute card and I think this post is the perfect time to do it. A very talented and wonderful friend of mine made this for me when my second baby was born a few months ago. Isn’t it just so sweet. She cut lots of little triangles from fabric for the bunting and sewed them onto the card. The perfect way to use up the little bits of scrap fabric you can’t bear to throw away.
The alphabet stamps are from Kikki K, the Swedish stationery store, I can’t go in there without being tempted to buy something. It’s one of those places where I could very happily have one of everything!
I did try to do my own alphabet stamp set once but it didn’t work out. I think because I hand sketched the letters and they just weren’t neat enough when I transferred them onto the rubber block, so when I cut them out they were too messy. There was a great tip in my comments to print off an image from the computer and iron transfer the image onto the rubber. I am going to print off an alphabet and see how that goes, I will let you know if I succeed.
