PPPR Get Cookin' Blog Hop

Happy Saturday Crafty Friends!

 

 

And Welcome to the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons Get Cookin' Blog Hop!

 

If you came here from Gloria's blog, you are in the right place.  If you just stumbled upon my blog today and would like to start from the beginning, please visit the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog.

The theme for today's hop is "Get Cookin'", and we're sharing projects that have to do with cooking and food using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files.

 

For my project I made a couple of kitchen towels.  Okay, I bought the towels, but I embellished them using fabric and a couple of PPPR cut files.

 

 Whether you're cooking or baking you can always use some cute kitchen towels.  And if you're like me, then you like to have cute themed towels that get changed out regularly. 

 

 

 If you're a regular follower of my blog, you might have noticed that I have been sharing a few fabric related posts lately.  I am in love with using my Silhouette Cameo and PPPR cutting files to create cute fabric appliques.

 

Materials:

 

 

 store bought towels

fabric pieces

Heat N Bond

and your favorite PPPR cutting files (I find it easiest to use simple shapes.)

For these, I used cuts from the "Hoppy Easter" cutting files.

 

The blog candy for this hop is a $15 GC to the PPPR store.

Fabric Shamrocks

Hello Crafty Friends!

Today is my day to share over at the Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons blog, and I am sharing a fabric project using the "Shamrock Faces" cutting files.

I love using svg files to create and cut out fabric appliques for sewing and quilting projects.  But you can also use fabric on paper projects as well.

Here is a fabric zippered pouch and a matching card that I made using the same fabric applique.

 

Here is the zippered pouch:

 

 

 And here is the card:

fabric with fusible backing ironed on

(You will want to have the paper backing still on one side.  This is what will "stick" to your cutting mat.)

Here are a few more pictures of the process:

The theme for today's hop is "Anything Goes". So, we are using our imaginations to create fun projects using Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons files. 

Here is my project:

 

 

I had a pretty long week at work, and I will be working this weekend and the Monday Holiday so I decided to make a tag for my favorite "adult beverage"..... Malibu coconut rum :)  I will be having a few of these in the evenings :)

 

What's your favorite "adult beverage"?

 

I used the "Bottle Tag 3" cutting file to make a drink tag for my bottle of Malibu. I didn't add the 'pocket' portion of the file.

 

I added the "Mai Tai" from the "Happy Hour" cutting files.

 

The sentiment is from the Jaded Blossom "Food & Drink" stamp set.
