Happy Sunday to you! Nance is your hostess for the Paper Players today, and she has brought you a nice sketch again:
%5B3%5D.jpg "March Sketch-001 (1)")
I took a little artistic liberty with my card and moved a couple of the elements; I hope that Nance won’t mind! I needed a birthday card for my SIL and she likes to sew, so I made a real quick card incorporating the corner of a piece of DP from the Sew Suite collection:
I just love how that little needle & thread comes around the corner! I made a tag with the Tags & More diecut, but it was a little longer than I wanted so I repositioned it on top of the cutting area and ran it through my Big Shot again to get a smaller tag:
I cut a tiny smidge out of the tag and adhered it over the needle so that it would look as if the needle was sewing through the tag!!! Corny, I know!! The little piece left from the “recut” was adhered to the back of the button card and used to fasten the Pear Pizzazz seam binding:
Since the colors were soft, I used Sahara Sand to stamp all my images instead of black; I think it adds a more feminine touch! Although I did stamp the sentiments on the inside in Stazon Black:
Hope you have a chance to play along with the other Paper Players using this sketch! Be sure to check out all the samples at the Paper Players blog—Happy Stamping!!!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne,
ReplyDeleteYou are just one SUPER clever girl! I am not sure what is what on this card (buttons? needle? yellow thread?) I will write you an email and ask how you did it all. Love it! I will need to find that SU Sew Suite set. I loved the CAS card you made too using just the spools of thread in rainbow colors.
Take care and be blessed!
Love, Martha
Oh so Sweet! I love the tooth.
ReplyDeleteMaking the needle look like it was sewing through the tag was not corny at all - it was genius! Everything about this card makes ya happy! Then of course we have those great big blue eyes and wide smile - sigh - how can ya not feel happy with Cassidy around. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous - I love the little details you brought in with the little tag being "threaded" by the needle. So clever! Your SIL will love the card.
ReplyDeleteLeAnne, this is so much fun! The soft colors and all of the details really showcase that stamp set beautifully! WOW! The pinking heart border is a sweet touch, too! Love it! :)
