Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #130

This week on PTI Make It Monday, Erin Lincoln show us how to use Heat N' Bond to Make Fabric Die Cuts. I LOVE how you can use the PTI die cuts for paper AND fabric!

I have been inspired by the beautiful electric blue skies we've had here lately. Here in WV we get so many cloud covered days because of the mountains. I am loving the blue skies!

 Could not wait to break out the new Mighty Oak dies by PTI. The cutting went really well with the leaves. Not so well with the tree trunk. So, I die cut the tree plate using paper. I stenciled the trunk instead by using the plate image. Just masked off the leaves. 


And here's the finished product. Fabric die cut leaves and a stenciled trunk. A little burlap pillow that is blue September skies inspired!

Thanks for looking!

  6. Very, very beautiful! You did an amazing job! And I have to let you know, your quote was what I needed to see today. I even posted it on FB...because yesterday my husband of 37+ years told me he wants a divorce. My life is about to change, even though I don't want it to!

  7. Love your pillow. And the tree trunk die not working out with fabric was for the best. Now you have a great palette of textures.

  8. Love it! I think it looks even better with the stenciled trunk that if it had all worked out with fabric.
