Lessons

This past Saturday, I taught my first class at The Crafty Scrapper. We had a great time and I'm looking forward to teaching again. Just have to come up with my next project.

I have a few projects in progress, so nothing new to share until I manage to get something finished! However, I can share a card that was recently published in the Create Vintage magazine. This card uses a combination of patterned papers and a beautiful image from Crafty Secrets.

I also used some Glimmer Mist to dye the seam binding bow, and added a stitched border around each layer of paper.

Thanks Sew Much

My "Thanks Sew Much" card was published in the April Cards magazine. This is my first "real" magazine publication, and I was so excited. I used patterned paper scraps for the layered background. I stitched each layer and then added a Crafty Secrets tag. The dress form and thread tag are Crafty Secrets stamps that I stamped onto patterned paper and then cut out.

I wrapped pink thread around the thread tag and added a sewing needle. After adhering my stamped images to the card, I added a label sticker and then made a title with alpha stickers and my old typewriter.
