They're Here!

Today is the release of Cornish Heritage Farm's new Scrapblocks™ images! Five scrapblocks are being released now and two will be released every following month. These 6" x 6" stamps are perfect for the scrapbooker, the cardmaker (making square cards are so easy now!), or any crafter!


I needed a cover for my checkbook and thought something bright and cheery would make paying my bills a little more fun. ;) This is a super easy project and is a perfect size for using the new Scrapblocks™ image! The whole thing is basically only 3 pieces. (one large rectangle for the outside and 2 smaller rectangles for the pockets in the inside) I stamped directly onto my large rectangle with white ink just to give the outside a little more design and whimsy.

I made the button with a little button kit that you can find in any fabric store. The checkbook cover is secured by an elastic hair tie that wraps around the button (one end is tucked and sewn under the binding). I stamped directly onto a scrap of white fabric - heat set - and then colored in my bird image carefully with Copics.
