Hello!
Well you wouldn't know what kind of weather to expect here....
lovely and sunny in the morning and heavy hailstones in the afternoon!
It is sooooo cold....
Nothing for it but to stay inside and craft ;)
My card today is made using a pre-coloured image from Lili of the Valley
and the papers I've used are from a Me & My Big Ideas - 'Traveller' mat pad.
I wrapped green & white Baker's twine around the striped paper
and zig zag stitched around the whole card and also a little bit on the image.
The star is cut out in different sizes with the Silhouette Cameo and the sentiment is made using print & cut in the Studio design software.
The buttons are from my stash (bag 'o' buttons I think!)
and I think that's it!
I'm off to create something with my new Creative Craft World mini kit
for my next DT project.
Oh WOW! This kit is so beautiful, I think you'll want to have it ;)
It will be available from the 20th of this month.

I overheard this conversation between Lydia (15) & Phoebe (5) yesterday...
Phoebe (in her sweetest voice) - 'Lydia....will you play the Wii with me?
Lydia - 'I can't at the moment wee pet, I want to I finish this'
Phoebe (dramatic change of tone) - 'aaarrrghh, I HATE you knitting!!'
I think we have a touch of knitting fever here.....!
I'm glad though, as it's for such a good cause.
Thank you for visiting,
I hope you have a lovely day whatever the weather!
Take care :)

ReplyDeleteLove this card, so great for a boy. Love the stitching, I would never have thought to machine stitch on card, do you need a stronger needle? Jools. xx
ReplyDeleteHi Jools, I use a size 70 needle which is on the finer side but only because that is the size I have most of!
ReplyDeleteI keep a needle specially for card as it blunts very quickly, but it still goes through the card :)
I haven't tried a stronger needle yet, I wonder would it leave bigger holes?

This is fabulous, I love how you have added the twine!
