This week at
it's my turn to choose the challenge and I'm saying, "Make It Sew!" which means, you guessed it, I want to see sewing on your make.
Back in the day, I used to do a lot of sewing on my cards using thread and an actual sewing machine. With the popularity of stitched dies, I've definitely taken that route to get "sewing" on my cards for a number of years now. I can't even remember the last time I pulled out the ole sewing machine. I do still like the look of actual sewing on a card....but with the extra time sewing takes and the extra weight and sometimes lumpiness it adds to cards, I think I'll stick to the easy way. (:
This is what I did....
Snowman is one of my very favourite digis from Tiddly Inks. A couple of stitched dies, and some word stickers and there's another Christmas card for my stash.
Why not give our challenge a go this week and join us? And, if you'd like more inspiration, be sure to check out what the Girlfriends have made.

So sweet! I can understand why that digi is a favourite. That snowman is adorable!! I love the idea of sticker words/sentiments too!
ReplyDeleteSEW nice, Jan!!! Yep, I agree; I can't be bothered to dig out the sewing machine or thread up a needle anymore. The last time I sewed something (and posted it) was 2014.
ReplyDeleteHi Jan

Love and hugs

Super cute. I love the 'fake' stitching dies too. I could really get into stitching on cards, but that's a whole nother hobby, and I already have quite a few on the go :o)
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! Love the use of the pattern papers in the background too. Thank you for sharing this with us at 613 Avenue
