Sewn w/ Love

Posted on August 3, 2011 8:40 PM by Julie 3 Comments

Wonderful sketch today at Splitcoast (SC344)! I turned it and flipped it to fit my images. This is also for Andrea’s DTGD11 challenge. If y’all are Fan Club members, you can read all about it HERE.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. The tag was stamped, die cut and the sentiment split up a little to fit inside. The pincushion was also die cut and colored w/ markers.

The bottom border of the dp was punched then I went along the punched edge w/ pinking shears. I cut out a couple of sections of embossed measuring tape and sponged over the top and attached them behind the pincushion.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Pincushion, Pincushion Tag, Sewn with Love

Paper: vanilla, dp (Basic Grey – Sweet Threads collection)

Ink: VersaFine Onyx

Accessories: Tombow markers, ODBD tag & pincushion dies, EK Success argyle border punch, pinking shears, piercing tool, cotton yarn, Sizzix embossing folder

Dad’s Suit

Congrats to Tami, today’s Featured Stamper (FS228) at Splitcoast! Super gallery! I chose Thank You to case. I liked the stark color contrast and thought it would work well for my Father’s Day card. Then I changed most everything. I was also inspired by this card I saw a long time ago. I got my stuff out yesterday to make it but then we had storms and the power went out for a really long time. So I had to quick make it this morning.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. I pretty much followed the same suit layout on my 6″ square card. I used the crochet bg w/ the silver ink on the ivory shimmer paper and made the shirt and pocket handkerchief. The watch was stamped w/ stazon onto white shrink plastic and since it was a large image to start with, it shrank to the perfect size. I found this little watch crystal looking doodad and glued it on top w/ super glue then attached it to a silver die cut round tag. I used a scallop die on both sides of a scrap to get the watch chain then used the silver pen to draw in the links.

The suit was all faux stitched w/ the silver pen and a silver button was added. I added the little verse (it’s for DH) to the side on the pocket.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD- Time, Blessings Collection, Crochet Bg

Ink: Brilliance starlight silver, Stazon black

Fun challenge Holly has today at Splitcoast (TLC329). I had a great time putting together my little crazy quilt. I almost got out the sewing machine then thought, nah…. pen is right here! So my little patchwork is faux stitched.

All images are Our Daily Bread designs. The big clock image and blue layer were cut w/ a Spellbinders circles. For the left two panels, I scribbled some markers inside the embossing folder before embossing. The middle section has the same phrase stamped in several different colors. The little right panels are dp aged slightly w/ ink.

I attached all my little patchwork pieces to longer panels of blue then faux stitched them down. The sentiment was split to fit the space and I added some little punched circles for faux button like elements.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Supplies:

Stamps: ODBD – Time, Happy Father’s Day

Paper: vanilla, blue bayou. scrap of dp (Dictionary from K&Co.)
