…are what we do here at Wild Goose Crafts. The card in the featured image at the top of the post was made with Close To My Heart (CTMH) retired papers and stamps, as well as some current embellishments, and both CTMH and I are more than happy to share “recipes,” instructions, and tips or suggestions since the company philosophy is “Let me show you how.” Here’s a recent post with free scrapbooking designs and instructions as just one example. Feel free to check out the specials (there always are some) and place an order at my CTMH shop any time. And people who are in my local area are more than welcome to schedule a gathering (party) or a class.
The patriotic ornament in the same photo was made with my very own hands–my fingertips can attest to that–but the design comes from The Ornament Girl, the super-duper studio and small business that’s THE best place for quilted ornament patterns & kits:
Since Stacy Ann and her staff expend much blood (literally–those straight pins like to bite), sweat, and probably tears coming up with beautiful designs each month as well as many supplemental designs, I can’t share her very-detailed instructions with you directly. However, you can purchase The Ornament Girl e-books and e-book bundles–the same ones we Ornament Girl club members get–for a very reasonable amount.
Oh, did I mention a club? Yes, there is an Ornament Girl Club, a monthly subscription which you may decide you’d like to join. The service is excellent, by the way.
Full disclosure: I am an affiliate, so it benefits me if someone purchases an e-book or becomes a club member, but I’m absolutely sincere that if you like these kinds of ornaments, this is the best place to buy instructions and supplies from. It seems there’s always a gift-giving occasion approaching (even from you to you), and these ornaments never cease to elicit that “Wow!” reaction.
Do check out the e-books and membership option and take a look around The Ornament Girl website. There’s even a free “Basic Star” video workshop which I highly recommend.
