More Sew Lovely

Hey y'all! Just stopping in to share a card I made the other day while I had all my fun teal papers and ribbons out. This is another card using the Lawn Fawn Sew Lovely set. Since I am an avid sewer, it was a set that I couldn't pass up. Hero Arts recently put out some fun sewing sets that I can't wait to ink up. :-) I stamped the image and then colored it with Copics. I really need to try paper piecing this dress form. Maybe even piecing it with fabric scraps! I also did another double bow with my seam binding ribbon - the ribbon is so light weight that it doesn't make it too bulky like a grosgrain would.

That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Sew Lovely (Lawn Fawn)
Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Chai, Chamomile (PTI); Copic markers
Paper: White, Vintage Cream, Aqua Mist (PTI); patterned paper (October Afternoon Thrift Shop collection)
Other: seam binding, foam tape

Sew Lovely

Hi everyone! Sorry its been awhile since my last post ... last week got away from me. :-)

This is my last week at work until the next school year. Busy cleaning, calculating, and filing etc. But it has been nice to slow down a bit at work and get to know some coworkers better since this was my first year at this school. I learned that several of the women in my department enjoy sewing as much as I do and I wish I had started getting to know them better sooner! The other night I decided to break out my Sew Lovely stamp set that I finally broke down and ordered and whip up a couple quick sets of cards for two of them. Here's the packaged ensemble...
I made a little pocket with some Soft Stone paper and I just tucked the cards in the pocket. Two light pink and two hot pink in each pocket. Then I tied a fun fabric scrap around it to dress it up a bit. (I should have been sewing for real, so I didn't have a lot of time to get really crazy with the decorating. And it was late, so my pictures aren't all that super - sorry!)

Here's a picture of the cards that went in. They all had different ribbons, but the same layout and concept. These are very easy to assembly line produce. Just cut everything, stamp everything, color everything ... well, you get the idea. I think its safe to say that they liked them :-)

Well, its off to bed. See y'all back here on the blog soon. Two more days and I am free (for the most part) to craft my summer away!

Thanks for stopping by!
