Sew Easy

Happy Wednesday!

I am hosting this week's Challenge over at the Mod Squad Blog


Come join in all of the fun and play along!


Challenge

This week's Challenge is, 

 

Sew Easy
 
You must use some type of stitching on your card.  It could be from a sewing machine, or a stitched die of some sort, or even creating a hand stitched look using a white gel pen, the choice is yours.  Please label what you have used for my poor old eyes......don't make me put on my 'crafting glasses'.


Remember if you do not follow the challenge, your entry will not qualify for the prize.  

 

 This Weeks Sponsor is CAS-ual Fridays Stamps
http://cas-ualfridaysstamps.com/
 
All the stamps and Fri-Dies are designed by Michele , and are based on her love for Clean And Simple design, hence the CAS in CAS-ual. However, they will delight any stamper's style! Whether you are a CAS enthusiast or a lover of Utterly Adorable Layers, you will have a blast getting inky with them. 
The stamps are made in the USA of the finest clear photopolymer, and the coordinating line of wafer thin dies are also made in the USA.

  2 Prizes
2 - $15 Gift Certificate each to the STORE

 
 
Here is my first project:
 
 
 and Casual Comfort, and matching die set, Casual Trees.   This is a double layered Stitched Tag.  Inks in Pirouette Pink and Black Licorice.  Gingham Ribbon, Baker's Twine and Pink Adhesive Rhinestones as accents.
 
2nd Project
 
 
 
My background was created using the same stamp, Curtis Background  and ink colors.  Once mounted on black card stock I whipped out my Janome Mini sewing machine and stitched all around the edges in a deep pink thread.  Sentiment from the 3 In A Row stamp set.  I also made chipboard hearts using the matching Tic Tac Toe die.  Half a Doily, Heart Button, Baker's Twine and Pink Adhesive Rhinestone for accents.


 
 
Hope you find some time to join in the Challenge!
 
Thanks for coming by!
 
Enjoy~~

  2. I really am getting into matching gift tags with cards. I think your set would add "sew" much to a gift. Love the layers with the real stitching and the matching hearts on the tag. It is all about the HUGS and KISSES.

  4. Hi, Donna! Your projects are wonderful! I don't know how you think up your pretty designs, but it's always a pleasure seeing what you make. These two are completely different! Your tag is fabulous - with the floral die cuts facing downward - LOVE THAT! and the colors are quite dramatic. Your heart card is sweet as can be! I really like the doily and tiny hearts! Thanks for sharing (and I agree about people saying what they used so that your crafty eyes don't have to be put on, LOL, sometimes it's hard to tell in the photos, isn't it?) hugs, de

  6. You will convert us all to using tags LOL. Both cards are so darn cute. I got the Janome for this very purpose 3 yrs ago. It is setup, threaded and never used! Ugh

  9. Oh wow ... look at you go! TWO projects and both equally awesome! I had hubby buy me a new sewing machine at least 2 years ago so I could do REAL stitching on my cards and I haven't even taken it out of the box! YIKES! MY BAD! Faster to do faux stitching or grab one of my stitched dies LOL. Awesome inspiration my friend ... hopefully I'll find time to join in the fun! Wishing you a fabulous weekend ahead!
