Studio Calico Technique Video

Hey there.

I am home after a wonderful weekend of crafting with 18 of the greatest women I have ever known. These crafters came from near and far and we had such an amazing 3 days together. Heavenly. Feeling thankful and refreshed.

So I thought I would pop in and share a project I did for Studio Calico. Each month I will be doing technique videos for them – I am looking forward to playing with both their kit and wholesale products. This first video shares the creation of a canvas featuring fringe flowers using lots of product from the new October kit and add-on kits. Be sure to stop HERE at Studio Calico for more information on the project. (And also the supply list below.)

This was such fun to create – Colin helped me add the buttons. Love having a helper. :)


Last week I shared several cards using Paper Smooches stamps. I found out that Simon Says Stamp carries them HERE and Ellen Hutson has them HERE. Sweet!

I will be back soon with winners from last week’s giveaways. See you soon.

    Wow, thanks for sharing all the great info! Am not familiar w/ Mr. Huey’s–they look like fun. I really like the beautiful paper flowers using the cheerful Studio Calico papers and will be making lots of those. So nice I don’t have to buy another die to make them :)

    Great video!! Love the demo on the flower making and how to do the various sizes!! It’s awesome that you do these projects with your son too! The paints/sprays are great too…love how you used them to paint the background rather than spray them on. So talented and creative!!

    Thanks for sharing the flowers – so simple – a little adhesive, a pair of plain scissors and some time to achieve such cuteness :) .

    Great idea! Have the scissors – can’t wait to try it out to make some flowers. A note to anyone who doesn’t back up your files . . . my computer crashed last weekend and I have just got back on line with a new machine. Back up your files and do it regularly – it will save you a lot of trouble and frustration AND not waste your crafting time.

    Can’t ever get enough of all the great tricks & tips you come up with, Jennifer. Studio Calico kits are so incredible. This one has great colours, hey? Thanks for the inspiration.
