Treat Boxes by Christine, bag by Natalie and a Guest Post by Linda Vergottini

Today Christine is sharing her talents and gifts with us, quite literally actually, I am so excited to share them with you. Christine says…
 
I have a thing for treat boxes.  I just love making and giving them.  I love how one simple cut file can be a Valentine treat holder one minute and a Mother’s Day gift bag the next.  It all depends on the paper and embellishments that you use. So when this file, Treat Box with Handle, was put in the store, I knew it would be one that I could use over and over again.
The other thing that I want to mention about this cute little treat box is that it is all one piece that fits nicely on a 12×12 piece of paper.  All of the score lines are there and the only adhesive you need to put it together is a strip on the side seam.  The rest of the box is held together with flaps and tucks which makes it very easy and fast to put together.  It literally took longer to cut the file than it did for me to assemble it.  That is fast!!
To create my boxes, I used the Love Story Collection by Lori Whitlock for Echo Park.  It is one of the most amazing paper collections that I have ever used and definitely my favorite Valentine themed line ever.  The stickers that you see are from that collection as well.

Natalie has this adorable bag that she created for her daughter as a scripture bag. I LOVE this and think Lori’s fabric makes it even more fabulous.
Hello everyone, today we have a break in the paper crafting to share with you a little bag I made for my daughter’s birthday.  She turned 8 this last week, and from her grandpa she received a set of scriptures for church.  Since I knew these were coming, I decided to make a bag for her to put them in.  I was in my local craft store and spotted Lori Whitlock’s Hello Sunshine collection in fabric from Riley Blake, and since it was to darling to pass up, I grabbed it and came home and went to work.
I pinned this pattern from Pinterest a while back, and actually made ballet bags for both of my girls with it to hold their shoes to take to class.  It was simple and perfect size I made it again for this bag. I did actually make the bottom a little more narrow than the pattern called for so it would fit her scriptures better.  Since it needed a little dressing up, I added the flower to make it a little more frilly, just like my daughter is.  Lets just say she was thrilled with it, and can’t wait to take them to church with her.

 

 

Today I also have a guest designer to share with you. Her name is Linda Vergottini. She used Lori’s 1 drawer box to make this adorable mini album. Thank you for sharing with us, this is so beautiful and clever!

Vintage Baby

Today is a very exciting day! My very first fabric collection is now available for purchase! You can find it at the Fat Quarter Shop right HERE. It’s been a several month process… but the day has finally come. Just about a year ago I signed a fabric contract with Riley Blake Designs. They are a wonderful fabric company and I am so thrilled to be partnered with them for my fabric designs. After joining them, I moved into action designing Vintage Baby. After the artwork was approved, it moved into production. This phase takes quite a long time as it’s produced overseas and the process is quite extensive.

 

This is a little sampling of Vintage Baby. It’s a sweet collection of fabrics that are just perfect for a project for a little girl. I was just told that I can go pick up my samples today and I can’t wait to start playing with it! I’ll take more photos and post them once I have more fabric on hand.

Just a little heads up… I’m working on a pattern to go with this collection that I’ll be releasing shortly. I just need to finish it up and it will soon be available.

I really appreciate everyone’s support. It makes designing so fun to know that my work actually inspires someone and is enjoyable to use. Seriously, you’re the BEST!! Thank you!!

Welcome to my new website!

Hi everyone! So glad you’ve found me. I decided it’s time to update my blog. I’m soooo excited about this new site! I think it will be a great forum for interacting and communicating with all who may be interested.

For years I’ve been mostly a “silent” designer… behind the scenes making products come to life for many companies like CK Media, Lisa Bearnson, Becky Higgins, Cratepaper, etc. I have some exciting news!! Things are changing a little bit. Let me explain…

  1. I am publishing my very own scrapbook products {with my name on them} through Echo Park Paper. Echo Park is a fairly new scrapbook manufacturer. They debuted just over a year ago. I’m thrilled to be partnered with them to bring scrapbooking products to you. If you have any ideas, themes, or suggestions for future collections, please feel free to contact me with the link above in the navigation bar.
  2. I also create digital die cutting shapes that are available through Silhouette. If you don’t have a silhouette, you need one! I think it’s the greatest invention since the Mac. With this handy tool you can simply plug it into your computer and cut any font you own and download individual shapes to cut for just $.99 from their online store. I have all sorts of shapes for sale at their online store including card kits, boxes, flowers, and so much more. I think my portfolio is pushing 1000 images right now. And, I’m adding new shapes each week. So much fun!
  3. And,… drum roll please… I am now designing fabric and have partnered with Riley Blake Designs. This is an awesome new adventure for me. I’ll keep you posted as that develops. But, as for now, it looks like my designs will debut at fall quilt market. I can’t wait to show you what I’ve been working on.

I’m so glad I’m able to share my designs from all these mediums with you and let you know what I’m working on.  My goal is to post more often so it doesn’t seem like I take month long vacations (which really isn’t ever the case… I’m just designing something). I’ll be sharing ideas, tips, recipes, tutorials… whatever is on my mind. So, visit often and leave comments. I really wish I could meet every one of you…. I know we’d be great friends.

Have a lovely day!
