Vintage Sewing Room

Hello crafty friends!

If you love sewing AND vintage, then this project is RIGHT UP YOUR ALLEY!!!  I present to you my newest Southern Ridge Trading Company project!  Isn't it just lovely?  I can't wait to tell you all about this gorgeous HANDMADE CARD.

I used the following Southern Ridge Chipboard products on this card:

Dressmaker Mix

Tombow Glue

I really loved this set of chipboard items as there were many items in one that I could use to make a card...and still have leftover pieces!!  Great value! :)

Sew.......hahaha (ok, I'm not really that funn).....your first step is the background. I actually adhered a piece of scrap fabric to a piece of cardstock for my base! Next, it was time to get my chipboard pieces all prettied up!  I used a mix of Embossing Powder and some copper Gilding Flakes to create the vintage feel on the sewing machine!

  

A key tip to working with gilding flakes - don't keep an overhead fan on with an open container (or the air conditioning/furnace vent). Just take my word for it ;)

  

Gilding flakes are also a fun way to add texture and dimension!  Simply apply a bid of adhesive, lay on your flakes and then brush off the excess. I used a 2 Way Glue Pen to adhere mine.

Once everything was embossed and distressed with gilding flakes, I added a bit of dusty rose & white lace and adhered everything to my fabric covered card.  I felt it needed a little "extra" so I used my Nuvo Crystal Drops in Pearl to create liquid pearls everywhere!  I just LOVED this sentiment which was stamped and embossed with a dark navy blue embossing powder. 

  

I thought the pearls on the mannequin were the perfect touch!

Here is the rest of my supply list:

- Cardstock

- Nuvo Medium Glue Pen

- Fabric Scraps

- Lace Trim

- Tombow Liquid Adhesive

- Nuvo Gilding Flakes: Sunkissed Copper

- SparkleNSprinkle Embossing Powders: Heliotrope, Cotton Candy, Vintage and Silver

- Nuvo Crystal Drops: Ivory Seashell

- Versamark Ink

I hope you enjoy this project - I loved making it. See you next time!

Sew Special with Stamprints

Hello crafty friends!

It's my turn to showcase at Stamprints! :) 

Here is my card featuring the "Sew Special" stamp set.




This is what I created:

I printed out the digi and colored using Nuvo Glitter Pens!  Then Sentiment was stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Detail Embossing Powder.

I hope you enjoy this card!

Stick It Down - November 2017

Hello friends!

Welcome to another month with Stick It Down!  As a member of the card team, I was excited to create with this month's sketch!

I was playing with my sewing machine this week, so I decided to keep going and create my card with it!

Here is what I created:



I used a now retired stamp set from Close to My Heart for the sentiment and the super cute flamingo!  I used a zigzag stitch to adhere the fabric piece to the cardstock.  The fabric is my current fave from our local fabric store, North 40 Fabrics (I just happen to work there!).  Cute, eh?

I hope you will come along and play with us this month!

See you soon!
