I SEWED A CARD!! MMSC4

I did it! I sewed a card! I can't begin to explain to you how HUGE this is! I have owned a brand new sewing machine for 3 YEARS and it was still in its original packaging with the factory seal in tact!! I have a thing about sewing machines. They either love me or hate me! This one apparently loves me!! LOL! Either that or its just so grateful to be out of the box it would dare not work well!! LOL!! The kitty is from a Michael's Delta stamp I picked up on my last trip to Grand Forks, ND. The hearts, flowers and sentiment are from my Just So Hippy Gina K stamp set. This set is really versatile. I love that I can use bits and pieces of it on my projects! The Frame is from the Dollar store and was actually 2/$1!!! I added Diamond Glaze to the flowers and hearts to add some dimension and the kitty is paper pieced. I have a pic of the kitty lower down that will show you in detail where I paper pieced Mr. Kitty. Oh! The sketch for this card is from the MIDNIGHT SKETCH CHALLENGE!!

Without further ado here is my first sewn card!!



Here are some pics of the inside! I sewed the inside too! I also added a couple of the Just So Hippy flowers on the inside and another kitty that has been stamped on the dp and then raised on dimensionals to make him pop. The flowers on the other side of the card are from...you guessed it..the Dollar Store!! LOL!!



Here is the close up the kitty for you to see up close the paper piecing I did with him! You can clearly see that his head, tail and the butterfly have been paper pieced. I can tell you his tail was not a piece of cake!! I was terrified I would make him a bob cat!! LOL!!

Well, that's my card for today folks! It took a while but it was worth it! I hope you think so too. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great night!

MMSC3 DOES THIS MAKE MY BUTT LOOK BIG???

Let me introduce you to Gertie. Gertie {That's the name I gave her.} is from the Gina K stamp set "Just So Hippy". I decided to go outside of comfort zone a bit. For this card I paper pieced Gertie and made her a tutu out of a piece of lace curtain. I coloured the lace with a red Bic marker. The rest of the card is made with red and blue cs. The bling as always came from the Dollar Store or the Buck or Two! The sentiments on the outside of this card are from two different sources. "Be Honest" is a stamp created with my "JustRite" Stamper
The other sentiment is computer generated.

This is an up close of Gertie. Isn't she cute! She even has a little bling on her tail!!

The sentiments inside are from different sources as well. The "Giggle, Beautiful & Girl" are from the Dollar Store and "Hippy Birthday" is from the "Just So Hippy" Gina K stamp set.

I hope you like this card as much as I do. It is going off in the mail to one of my bestest buddies in Prince Edward Island tomorrow. I know its going to make her laugh out loud!! Thanks for stopping by! More to come tomorrow. 2 new cards on the horizon!!
