Going gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month with Kat Benjamin

Going Gold for Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

The whole month of September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month. Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know I lost a dear one this past March. Duncan Campbell was only 2 and passed of brain cancer. He was the son of a very close friend. All this month I've been incorporating gold in my lifestyle and crafting and I am so happy that Kat has jumped on the band wagon to support this great effort to raise awareness.

Spring Release Sneak Peek and a Thank You Card by Rebekah Faries

Thank You Kite Card

This Spring we are adding lots of blue to the shop - blue sequins, blue seam binding, and blue baker's twine.  All of these lovelies will be available in the shop by the end of the week - aren't they pretty?

I love Rebekah's card - the perfect theme for a spring thank you. The loops in her kite's bakers twine tail remind me of the closing scenes of Mary Poppins, I think I know what I'll be doing with my kids this afternoon.

Project Instructions:

1. Using the muslin bags in the shop spray with some silver color wash. 

2. Layer a doily, some wax paper garland, a fancy silver ribbon, a blue circle and top it all off with a snowflake rosette.  

3. Cut a v into a embossed coin envelope and attach that to the underside of the doily, making it look like a nice pretty ribbon.

4. To make the wax paper garland fold several layers of  wax paper about 2” wide and cut multiple cuts about ¼” apart and using a jumbo zot adhere it in a circle giving your snowflake medallion some dimension.
