Sew Suite

Today is the last day of February and I have a few more cards that I made for the Use Every Stamp 2013 Challenge.

I pulled out a stamp set that I haven't had a change to use yet - Stampin' Ups Sew Suite to make a few cards that I will take with me to Quilt Camp this summer.

First up I used the sewing machine from the set stamping it onto pink paper and cutting it out.  I have pop up dots behind it.  I also wrapped the spool with embroidery floss.

 

I matted the inside with another piece of cream card stock and a piece of the floral pattern paper. 

I stamped the pin cushion onto red card stock and the spool onto tam.  I wrapped embroidery floss around the spool and used glossy accents on the pin heads.  I added a rhinestone to each banner and made fake stitching around the card.

To finish off the inside I added another mat with a piece of the pattern paper at the bottom.

For the month of February I have used:
11 different stamp sets
7 different Cricut Cartridges. 

This made:
2 Mini Albums
20 cards
14 Valentine Holders

Recipe:
Paper: Card stock: Recollections - off white; Pattern paper - unknown scraps
Stamp: Stampin' Up - Sew Suite and Whimsical Words
Ink: Stazon - Jet Black
Misc.: Adhesive, pop up dots, DCM Floss, button, rhinestones, glossy accents

Dino-Roar Cards

I have three Dino Roar stamps that one of my guys gifted to me. I have to admit that I have never used them. These are little stamps so I'm counting it as one stamp set for the Use Every Stamp in 2013 - I keep together them in a CD Case.

 

I think T-Rex is my favorite stamp. I stamped the Dino's on a green on green polka dot paper then cut them out.

 

I pared them with the "seriously missing you" stamp from Unity. 

Each card is stamped with the same Dino on the inside mat.  Since I send envelopes with my cards I am going to stamp and emboss the Dino on the outside of the envelope. 

Thanks for Stopping by.

Spring Flowers

I'm playing catch up for the Operation Write Home challenges.  I was waiting for the information from the Use Every Stamp 2013 before I started making cards for Operation Write Home.  The first Challenge for Operation Write Home is Spring Flowers.

 

I stamped the flower, embossed with white embossing powder and punched it out.  I used the Polka dot embossing folder for the gray card stock then layered a piece of pink and ribbon on top. 

I did use a strip of pattern paper on the inside of the card.

Thanks for stopping by.
