Welcome
to this month’s blog hop with Di's Country Inkers! Our theme for this blog hop is Stampin’ Up’s
new holiday catalog, which just came out today – have you seen it? Check it out in my online store.
The
blog that was before mine was Barb – wasn’t her project
great?! Here is my card using products
from the holiday catalog and to celebrate National Sewing Month.
I really like the sewing/needlepoint products
(I have been sewing for years) so versatile and fun! So of course, I had to use the Festive
Stitching Thinlits and Warmth & Cheer designer series paper stack which has
needlepoint paper in it.
Since the
needlepoint paper was in 5 different colors/designs, I narrowed it down to 3
and used these 3 on my card. And
likewise with the Festive Stitching thinlits, it was a challenge to only pick 3
to use – I used 3 different colors of baker’s twine as well.
If you remember and/or liked the sewing lace
up cards from your childhood (or maybe grandchild, friend, etc.), you can make
your own with this thinlits set. I swear
lacing up the designs is as relaxing as coloring books lol.
These
are the other products I used on my card:
Pretty thinlits, gold sequin trim, gold foil, and Santa’s Sleigh stamp
set; the baker’s twine was from the Baker’s twine trio pack and Candy Cane Lane
baker’s twine.
When you adhere the sewing piece to your
card, I found that using the dimensionals work best, due to the slight
bumpiness on the reverse side where the twine is bulkier and messy.
I
plan on giving this special card to my mother for Christmas – since she is the
one who taught me to sew at age 10, I know she will appreciate it!
You can purchase all of the Stampin’ Up
products I used in my online store.
If you ever get stuck
for a design with your Stampin’ Up projects, just flip through the catalog(s)
for awesome great ideas!
The
next blog you will hop to is Ellie’s, who is another fellow Arizonian.
