Intro

This is a 'choose your own adventure' style kit. The laser cut leaves and flowers can be arranged any way you like! You can also stitch a name, date, or phrase onto it to make it truly unique.

This kit is inspired by an ornament I made for a friend’s baby, Sylvie. I thought other folks might enjoy making personalized ornaments to celebrate life’s milestones or add a bit of handmade flair to your home.

My kits are designed to replicate the experience of an in-person workshop, where everyone makes their own unique artwork. I include extra materials so you can practice and experiment. I also include multiple templates and design ideas, so you can decide what you'd  like to make. I like working with people 1 on 1 to bring their ideas to life - so if you run into any trouble, please shoot me an email or DM me on instagram and I'd love to help.

 

Happy stitching!

- Shannon Quigley

How?

  • Email a photo to shannon@creativeconfidence.ca

  • Or DM me on instagram @creativeconfidence.ca (If you have a public profile you can tag me, but if your profile is private I can't see your photos even if I'm tagged).

  • If you like, include a few words along with your photo to go in the gallery. It's great to hear a bit about how you made your piece - what stitches you used, or what inspired your design. 

  • Let me know if you'd like your name to appear in the gallery or your instagram handle. The default option is to have no name written. I won't post any names or instagram info without permission. Thank you!
