Something Sweet for my Peeps

Time for a little sneak peek of the latest collection I’m working on with Lettering Delights for Easter time. It is from my collection, Sweet Peeps, and it is all about sweet things for Easter. There will be a cut-it set for those of you who use a cutter, but not printer, as well as tags, papers, cards, graphics and more. This Easter collection has something cute for kids and something sweet for adults, so everyone can have a wonderful Easter weekend. There is also art that is great for springtime so the fun won’t end after Easter Sunday. I will also be having a freebie or two as we get a little closer to the event, so stay tuned.

Pen Pals from My Land to Thailand

Get your pen, because the Wee Are The World pals are back and ready to correspond with you and your neighbors, near and far.

I have twelve stationery sets of Wee Are The World kids, one for each pal from the collection. They are the sweetest, little sets for you to get and share with you local pals and friends across the seas. If you like them all you can even get the complete Wee stationery sets for a special deal.

The stationery sets are now available at Lettering Delights and you can get right to them by clicking on my Sheri’s Creations sign at right or click here. Each stationery set comes with a card, two notes, three labels and an envelope.

You can see each of these sets below, complete with all seven pieces. The sets available are Frenchy, Mukluk, Sushi, Tajie, Nina, Bongo, Tiki, Poncho, Dutchy, Java, Tawni and Cairo. They are only grouped in pairs below to save space, but are sold individually on LD.

Below is a sample of one stationery set similar to what you will get from LD. You will simply print, trim, fold, and glue the pieces. The only thing left to do is write to your pals and send. Please note, these envelopes cannot be sent in the mail as is, they are legally too small, and of course the free postage stamps cannot be used for actual postage. They are just for cuteness sake. :)

Above is a sample of the Mukluk set; trimmed, folded, and ready for use.

I also have a freebie to share! It is a set of twelve postage stamps to complete the sets. The postage stamps are designed to match the wee kids, and you can download them free here or at my U-Pick sign (at right, then choose the file title WeePostageStamps) to help decorate your wee envelopes. You can reduce the file before printing to 50% to get a traditional stamp size, or keep the art at full size as a mini global gallery or other crafting projects.

Sample of free wee postage stamps (above); you must click on my U-Pick sign (at right) to download the file.

Head on over to LD to get these darling pen pal sets from the twelve global kids and share the joy of letter writing on mini cards and stationery. Think of it as a mini break from typing and texting, but an enjoyable one for you and your recipients!

Woodland Tails, Sew What?

Sew what? Sew lots and lots! Sew for a boy, sew for a girl, and even sew for yourself.

Here are a few photos of the Woodland Tails cotton fabric collection with RBD. It is better than the photos show, it is perfect. It is just the thing for that hip and all natural baby and kid decor that is all the rage. It’s even cool for us older youngins too. I am hoping to eventually get a bag made from a few of the prints in this collection. Maybe I’ll even make a bag for each month of the year. The panel was designed with all 12 characters, and it would surely be cute as 12 different carry-all bags with an animal on the front of each and complimentary prints surrounding it.

The sample photos shown below are compliments of Riley Blake Design (not my creations) and I want to share them with you to inspire. They are of a super neat carry-all bag, a bib for tots and a lovely quilt showcasing the Woodland panel in blues and sweet soft blocks.

Here are the Woodland Tails fabrics available through RBD. For further information and a location map of quilt shops near you, go here to learn more and see other fabrics from RBD including my ModTod collection, also available in stores now.

Sweet, petite and pretty neat! Something for girls, something for boys, something for us all!

Out of the Forest and into the Quilt Shops

My cotton fabric samples just arrived from the Woodland Tails collection I did with Riley Blake Designs. I think they are perfect and look just like my original art. The colors are fantastic, the fabric is wonderful. I am delighted.

I am showing you the three colorways here, but will show you the actual fabrics as soon as I have a chance to take photos this weekend, and will post that before the weekend is over.

Just to review, or if you are new to the Woodland Tails collection in fabric, here are the three colorways, in blue, green and pink. Riley Blake made fabrics in this collection into cotton, some flannel and even a few prints into laminates and ribbon. To learn more about where to find Woodland Tails in fabric and what is available go here to the RBD site.

I think we might need to have another fat quarter give away with some of these prints, maybe once I get my member count up to 120. That’s less than 15 peeps to join, super simple, right? :) I will let you know about that also in the next posting with the photographs of the fabric. You can always comment now, but I’ll let you know where/when to comment to be in the drawing to win the fat quarter set.

I am also playing with the idea of having embroidery patterns available of the Woodland Tails animals and many other pieces of art from various collections I have developed. I would love to hear thoughts from any of you regarding this idea. They would not likely be kits to buy with pieces to assemble; rather a pdf file to purchase and download to create for your own purpose.

The Little Rescue Crew

A while back I designed a little fireman collection, as I had learned that many people like the theme for their little guys. I decided that “Little Fireman” wouldn’t do the name justice so I have called the collection Little Rescue Crew since these little helpers do more than fight fires. Here are some ideas I have for the collection (below) and the set of patterns (above) that I have developed for the theme.

The growth chart above, with the stacking fire trucks, would be fun for a little boy’s room and the signs would make good wall art. Maybe one day I’ll be working with a company that will produce them. Until then, let’s just look for a crew to come and rescue this little guy and his pals.
