A Very Pleasant Surprise
Posted by Becca Feeken on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009
How many of you remember this stencil I used last month? 
Here I’ve pulled it out and made it into a tag to match my card below, but there’s a neat story to go along with the stencil now! So many people emailed to ask the origin of the stencil and I was not completely sure. I thought it was a Dreamweaver stencil but confirmed it with several people who still had the original packaging. In addition, I was contacted by Dreamweaver to confirm the product number (LG608) and such.
So here’s the very pleasant surprise – Dreamweaver has remanufactured this particular stencil and it’s available for purchase. What? How cool is that? Heavens, I had people calling my house to try to locate this stencil (no names mentioned here to protect the enabled *wink*). Well pine no more – go get it while the getting’s good!! 
I’ve been in the middle of this card for longer than I care to admit . . . happy to finally share it with you. The sentiment ranks among my very favorite and was truly the inspiration for me to dig out the stencil that I’ve had in my stash for many years. The lovely hand penned saying, Sleeping Under a Quilt, is one of the new releases by Quietfire Design. In fact, if you’re getting the stamp, Suzanne may have the stencil on order – just ask on the ordering page.
After inking up the stencil with Chalk Ink, I ran it through my Wizard with the same sandwich I use for embossing nesties- both white master mats and the tan mat. That presses the ink onto paper and gives a raised area where there are holes. I layered vellum on top of the quilt and framed it with one of my favorite Spellbinders Frameabilities, Classic Frame.

Brrrr . . . as cold as it is these days, I’ll bet many of you are sleeping under quilts. I still have one that my grandmother made for me when I was about 10 years old. Yep, that’s one old quilt, but it surely is a blanket of love :-) Stay warm friends!

WOW WOW WOW!!! This is breathtakingly romantic. When I saw the tag, without scrolling down, I thought it was SO gorgeous…as is!!! Which part is a stencil hon?
That saying brings back such lovely memories. I have the last quilt that my dear grandmother made. She is the one who passed on her love of crafts to me & will forever hold a special place in my heart!
Quietfire is one of my favorite companies and some of my favorite expression stamps are ones of theirs. I always love to see what you have done with ones that are also in my collection.
