Good morning everyone! It is Sunday morning and I know that I usually announce the winners of the comment game, but since I am away at Ally Pally at the moment, I need to postpone it until Monday afternoon. Sorry about the delay, but the good news is that we will have extra winners this week since we had some posts with over 200 comments this week! In the meantime, how about a sewing card done in Kraft card. I just love kraft card and find myself reaching for it all the time. It distresses great, takes the ink beautifully, coloured pencils look fab on it, and it is reasonably priced, what's not to love about it! I used another patterned kraft for the bottom of the card and a kraft card ribbon for a border. I cut three dressform dies out of patterned kraft card allowing the pattern to end up randomly on the dressforms. To bring them out a bit more against the background, I cut three dressforms out of "milk" coloured card to use as shadows behind them, just peeking out a bit. On the background, I used some of Sam Poole's brilliant sewing stamps and randomly stamped them using a coffee archival ink pad. I stamped a sentiment in black and I inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink. I used my Mom's sewing machine to sew a zigzag around the top edge of the background. This was my first attempt at using her machine so I ended up with a wide zigzag (I had wanted it to be a bit tighter, but after I played with it a bit, I figured it out!) I had some lovely black velvet ribbon that had a bit of a lace woven into it that I brought from my craft stash. I used it to ruch down the side of the card. I added a few old buttons that I found in my button stash to the top and bottom of the card. I tied a bow with some black American seam binding and added a fancy button to it. I added the bow to my ruched strip right where it met the paper ruler border and a couple of crystal stick pins for an accent. I finished the card with black PVA glue dots all the way around the edge to frame it. I just love the sewing themed cards, just wish I could actually sew! All for now, Sue x

Love this card Sue, love the colours. Enjoy Ally Pally
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card and great choice of colours.

Ria
Hope you are enjoying yourself at Ally Pally Sue! Meanwhile, lovely card and I have just bought some Kraft Card (wow must be psychic - not) anyway, I just wanted to say that I think that the 'shadow' of the dress forms in the 'milk' card absolutely makes this card - it really stands out!
ReplyDeleteHugs Sue Pass
Sue
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you can't sew as you can spend all your time creating these wonderful cards.....
Pretty selfish I know but need my daily fix...
Bean x
Kraft is just the best
Lovely card must try using my sewing machine on some card. Hope you have had a good time at the ally pally will have to visit the show next year.xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteLike you I'm loving the sewing themes at the moment and this card really shows off different techniques wonderfully well.
love from Jackie D
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteSo wish I was there actually meeting you!! I don't know where you get all your time but I don't sew and because of the way you use the dies and stamps I actually love them too.
Have a great day and can't wait for to see what you'll do tomorrow.
Celina - Waterford
PS Where can I order Kraft card online??
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm singing in the choir again - what a fantastic card. I like the way you used a second die in plain card to act as a shadow. I thought these dies might be limiting when I first saw them but you are showing us how different they can look. Thank you.
Best Wishes
Beverley W
Another great card!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration for my stash of craft card, look forward to the next work of art!!
Thanks, Lara
Wow, gorgeous card! Lovely colors and dress forms! Hugs, Hanneke
ReplyDeleteDefinately my kinda card Sue. Even the beautiful colours of card you have used and that striking bow is sumptuous. Enjoy Ally Pally. Hugs Rita xx

Morning Sue, the kraft card is really growing on me so if I can get hold of some I must have a go. The colours work so well together and your sewing theme continues to give inspiration. Love the way you have shadowed the dress forms. Another great card. Enjoy AP today and hope everyone has a lovely crafty day. Hugs Christine H x
ReplyDeletelove the kraft card never used it will have to look out for it. Another beautiful card. Have a great day at ally pally.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue Great card the dress forms are fab and love the colour combo Kraft...been away so have some of your cards to cath up on ..have a great time at Ally Pally..one day I will get there!!!!
ReplyDeleteMaggie H
Hi Sue, I think this has to be my favourite of your sewing cards. Shadowing the dressmaker's dummies was inspired. If this is what you can do when you only have a small stash with you why do I have a room full of stuff and can't come up with anything half as good? :-)
ReplyDeleteHope you have been enjoying yourself at Ally Pally and aren't worn out as we constantly need more inspiration. Any chance you will ever come up to Scotland? All the big shows are too far away for your many fans living here.
Frances
This is a truely lovely card Sue. Finally getting to grips with this 'blogging' stuff & have just become a 'follower'. Looking forward to further inspirational work. Enjoy Ally Pally - so wish I was there! Sx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteA lovely card, so reminiscent of my childhood. Hope the weekend has been a good one.
Sonia x
Good afternoon Sue,
ReplyDeleteI love this card and the dress forms, I don't have these dies but I do own a dress form die by a well known gentleman and I just love using it.
I used to be a machinest working for some top designers in the business and whom dressed the royals (mainly the gorgous belated royal)But ask me to make something now and I run a mile (never really enjoyed the job as it had to be perfect every single time, no errors or flaws anywhere) Lol
But I'm a complete nightmare now when I go clothes shopping as I can spot a flaw in the fabric or error a mile off.
Now the perfection is translated to my other crafts so it can take forever to complete lol
Have a great Day

AT LAST Sue!!!! I can open your blog properly!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion of using Google Chrome rather than Blogger to view your posts. It has been SO frustrating to catch a glimpse of your masterpieces each week and not be able to see them in their full glory.
And today's post is no exception. Your eye for layout is second to none and you come up with such different ways of using die cuts.
It was great to catch up with you and the rest of the Creative Expressions dream team at Ally Pally yesterday. Getting to ask questions and see your work up close and personal was such a thrill and the ideas were so inspiring. Just need 36 hours in a day now! (and a never-ending pot of gold!!)
Thanks for being you and inspiring us. Hugs, Buttons x

ReplyDeleteAnother FAB card Sue, you are so clever at merging different techniques and making them look as though they were 'made for each other' Hope you had a good time at the show. Wished I had been able to go, I would love to have come and said 'hello' in person.

I hope it so much ;-)

Now, can't you see the 'Three Degrees' lined up and singing their hearts out in this delightful card today, or is it just me! Probably just me...yeah?!
Lovely, lovely card and I love the offset tailors dummies for depth.
Hope you had a fab day at Ally Pally today, its sounds like everyone who met you did. I read that you hurt your hand though, are you ok? Hugs Linda
I really like the kraft and black with a bit of white. The runched ribbon, bow, and buttons really add a lot of interest to your card.
ReplyDeleteI love this card! The kraft and black always go so well together but this really came out so well! Mimi
