Something Tattered and Clearsnap Blog Hop!

Welcome to the Clearsnap and Something Tattered cross-promotion! From June 20 to the 22nd, we will showcase projects created by our Design Teams. We are so glad you took the time to visit as our Designers have some beautiful and inspiring projects to share with you today. We challenged them to create Wedding themed projects without using patterned paper. The designs you see were created exclusively with Clearsnap inks and Something Tattered stamps!
Come take a look!

Hey everyone!  Thanks for stopping along today to share in this fabulous collaboration between Something Tattered and Clearsnap!  Today I will be sharing with you a wedding favor/bird seed bag that was so amazingly easy and quick to create; a definite plus when having to create several for wedding guests, and a perfect way to get together with the wedding party to have a little creative and stress relieving fun!

First, let me confess and say that my sewing capabilities are slim to none-in other words if I can do this ANYONE can!  Beginning with a piece of muslin fabric, I stamped these beautiful Something Tattered stamps from the "Nest Amour" stamp set directly onto the fabric (they stamped seamlessly!) using ColorBox Pigment Ink in "Lava Black."  I did a quick heat set with my heat gun (iron or mini iron would work as well) so the ink wouldn't "move" as I continued on to the next step.  

Next, I flipped the stamped piece of fabric over-aligning it with the second piece- and sewed three of the edges together-flipping it back inside out once completed. 

The butterflies are from the "March Mars" stamp set-again stamped using ColorBox Pigment Ink in "Lava Black;" I heat set these as well.  Once the ink was set, using several colors of our Aladine Izink Inks (slightly diluted with water) and a paintbrush, I painted the butterflies.  These inks are permanent with a shimmery finish which adds such a pretty finishing touch! 

To finish off the bag, I simply filled it with bird seed and secured the closure with a single staple.  I added a piece of lace ribbon around the top edge which hides the staple and gives that extra finishing touch.  This wedding favor took all of 15 minutes to complete!! Easy peasy!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out this project along with the other fabulous projects along this hop!! To see what the Something Tattered DT created with our Clearsnap products, be sure to stop by tomorrow where we will showcase more lovely projects!
