This was my dilemma …. my growing paper pile so I decided to sew them together quickly to make a card without to much thinking.
Last week I was so inspired with Shari’s ATC cards on the HA blog that is what got me rocking for this Tipster.
This was my dilemma …. my growing paper pile so I decided to sew them together quickly to make a card without to much thinking.
Grab some coordinating colors in different sizes
Lay them out and sew together adding as you are sewing or you can put a piece of tape on the back to hold papers together.
Then fill in the spaces so you will have the desired cards shape you want. I added the green check here. Sew that together.
Now have fun and add decorative stitching around every edge of the papers and trim the boarders.
Then I stamped the NEW Hero Arts Florish background stamp and did some distressing. See the card below I sewed some ribbon on (for the CAARDvards challenge) and added some dots.
Have fun and I’ll show you some more I made as well….I used 85% of my paper pile so I was pretty happy.
