Day 2 Halloween Coasters and Heat n Bond Liquid Vinyl

Say what? I know there is an iron-on vinyl but a liquid vinyl? who knew?  Thermoweb has come out with a liquid vinyl that you apply with a paintbrush or a spongebrush.

 
I noticed in their ad that they were featuring coasters with this product.  So I dug out my Halloween coasters I made a few years ago and got right to work.


The coasters were made with Shape Creator and Appliqué Creator and these two features can be found on several of the Pfaff embroidery machines.  My first step was to create a Satin circle about 4 inches wide.



I then select Shape Creator and went into the mini designs and selected the spider and the spider web.



When I selected the combination icon I brought in the spider web first and then the spider.
                                          

I then brought in two more copies of each and ended up with 6 total.  I then reduced the size to fit inside the satin stitch circle.

                          

Here is a close up of the coaster as I designed it.


When I embroidered them.I used Wet n Gone and and trimmed the edges before I selected the satin stitch.  

I added two coats of Heat n Bond vinyl following the directions.  I did let it dry between each coat.  I pressed them using an appliqué pressing sheet.  They are now ready for a party and some wine!

Lake Life is a Winner!

  Sadly, the last Close to My Heart paper pack is done and ready for class on Saturday, July 20th.  Gather your vacation photos as this paper pack is perfect for any scenes with water. Lake Life #1 layout is all about a trip last fall to Mount Dora.  My son participated in a bike race, and they did some 'sightseeing' on the second day.  My grandson Luke's strange photos are from the 'vblog' post he was making.  Not sure if he ever posted it, though. Lake Life layout #2 features my niece and her family on an annual trip to Lake Chautauqua.   Even though it was an overcast day, it sure looked like Emmy had fun! Any day is a good day for eating pizza! Lake Life #3  is the last layout of the paper pack and are a few more pictures of my son's trip to Mount Dora.  They looked like they had a exciting weekend! The layouts are designed by Close to My Heart and include the directions to complete them.  No extra supplies or inks needed just the ...

Take to the Sky is a winner!

This paper pack was the featured one for my first scrapbooking get together in June.  Covid put an end to the monthly gathering, and we are so excited to be together again. This paper pack has a vintage feel with the airplanes, map and clouds design.  but the other side of the paper has a masculine design and colors great for both cards and layouts. The coordinating stamps and dies include phrases which are prefect for birthdays, Father's Day and traveling. The Industrial Trinkets add just the right accent to both layouts and cards My first share today is this layout I made which features the clouds, airplanes, tags and some twine. There are so many ways to use this design. How would you use it?

My share of artwork with this sunny paper is a layout of my son and daughter-in-law on a night out at a modern Mediterraneum restaurant. I began with inspiration from an idea in a Close to My Heart catalog and personalized it. I varied the sizes of the strips, such as 1 1/2" x 10" or 2" x 10", among others. I created a random pattern and then pops of color with 1/2" and 1/4" ...
