Keep Calm-Stitch On

Hello!  I've been doing some stitchery lately so I was inspired to use this beautiful Antique Sewing Machine for today!

I cut the sewing machine three times so I could fill in those beautiful inlays with bright colors.

And I made a decorative border with some button dies and my favorite strips.

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping!  Come again soon.

Hello Tweety

Hello!  I'm back with a colorful card using the Tweet Bird Cage.  I love to cut this one from a metallic and those birds were cut from a pretty blue velvety paper.

I popped the cage up onto the background so I could tuck the vines underneath.  I cut a bunch of flowers from the Itsy Bitsy Florals and finally the Hello word.

Thanks for stopping!  Come back soon.

UR Cute!

Hello!  I'm having some fun this week making conversation hearts using the Heart dies and Headline alpha sets!

And check out that metallic paper!  I thought it would be fun to use it for this Valentine.

I die cut the hearts, added the phrases with some thin foam tape and popped them onto the card.  Easy peasy!

It's always hard to photo metallics, and this is no different, but check out the movement and color changes!

Thanks for stopping!  Hope you'll come again soon.

Stay Cozy

Welcome back!  Today we're getting cozy with Cool Cat!

I started with a foiled background from Therm O Web and then I used the same rainbow Deco Foil to foil a Toner sheet and die cut my snowflakes and alphas for my sentiment.

I created the frame using one of the Scalloped Circles and a Stitched Circle and popped up the frame and adhered the center directly to the background.

I cut the Cool Cat from white Plush paper and the details from gel prints... those eyes, am I right??

Finally I added a white sentiment strip and popped the sentiment over the top.

I'm playing along over at Double Trouble Challenge Blog!

I definitely used more than 3 colors and added at least two layers and of course the kitty is my cuddly image.  Check it out!

That's me for today!  Thanks for stopping and hope you'll come again soon.
