you make me sew happy

Hey everybody, Happy Tuesday – I hope you had a great Fourth of July weekend and were able to have some fun without getting too hot and sweaty, lol! I’m delighted to share a Keep It Simple DT inspiration project with you today featuring our new KIS Cuts Sewing Machine dies! OMGoodness, you know how I love me some shaped cards and I really had a blast putting this together! I also used stamps, dies and die cut pieces from our new Cheerful Cottage collection along with several colors of patterned papers from our Back To Basics 6×9 Collection Packs.

Using the main die in the KIS Cuts Sewing Machine die set, I cut a top folding card base from Neenah Classic Crest 110# Solar White cardstock by sliding the top edge of the die just above the folded edge of the cardstock. Then I cut all the decorative elements from prints in our Back To Basics Lilac, Rose, Lemon, Jade and Kraft 6×9 Collection Packs (with an extra set of Rose colored flowers for the inside).

Using the Cheerful Cottage Collection Stamps, I stamped the front sentiment and an inside embellishment in Versafine Onyx Black ink on CutCardStock Natural Translucent Vellum. I heat embossed them with Hero Arts Clear Embossing Powder and cut them with the coordinating Cheerful Cottage Outline Dies. Of course, as I always say, the assembly was the most fun!

Using the same main die from the set, I cut the inside panel from 80# Solar White cardstock and embellished it with the extra set of flowers and the stamped, embossed and die cut element. I used a sentiment from the Cheerful Cottage Die Cut Pieces, and the card was done. I LOVE how this turned out!

Crazy cat lady and crafting junkie! We care for 15 feline rescues and just added a Forkie pup to the tribe (Frenchie + Yorkie)! I’m addicted to stamping and love making cards, ATCs, and 3-D projects (especially paper shoes, paper purses and mini albums). I also dabble in mixed media, art journaling, altered art and custom jewelry. If you’re looking for me, I’ll either be in my studio or getting some kitty or puppy lovins! ;)
