Crafty Calendar September Challenge - Waffle Flower Sew Fun Birthday Card

Good morning, I hope you are keeping safe and well.  After a summer break we are back over at Crafty Calendar with a new monthly challenge for September.

Our theme for this month is

"Lots of Layers"

For my card I have used:

Waffle flower Sew Fun Die for the Sewing Machine, fabric, threads, scissors and thimble.

Waffle Flower Tiny Square Texture Die for the background coloured using the Waffle Flower Quilted Floral Stencil and Altenew inks.

The sentiment is from the Waffle Flower Birthday Wishes stamp set heat embossed in white

We are sponsored by:

Polkadoodles who are offering a prize or two digital images of your choice.

Pop over to Crafty Calendar to check out gorgeous cards from the rest of the DT and to join us in this months challenge.

Spellbinders April 2024 Large Die of the Month - Pins and Needles Jar Birthday Card

Good morning I hope you are keeping safe and well on this rainy wet Friday morning.

I have a sewing themed birthday card to share today that I created for my Sister-in-law using dies from the Spellbinders April 2024 club kits.  She loves sewing so this kit was perfect.

I have used for this card:

Spellbinders Pins & Needles Jar - Large Die of the Month April 2024

With this set you get the dies to cut the jar, lid and pincushion and also the dies to cut all of the sewing accessories that are inside the jar.

I cut the jar three times.  On the base layer I ink-blended lightly with some Tumbled Glass Distress ink and glued down all of the assembled sewing elements. 

 The other two jars I fussy cut an aperture and layered a piece of acetate between them and then glued that onto top of the base jar.  I was tempted to add a few shaker bits but I decided not to and left it so you could see the various sewing elements glued inside to the base layer of the jar.

The background is a piece of black card embossed with the Spellbinders Monoline Stars Embossing Folder.

Sewing Themed Birthday Card

Good morning.  I hope you are well today.  I have a card to share that I made for my sister-in-law   It was her birthday yesterday so it's safe to share this now.

She loves sewing and needlework so that was the theme for this card.

I have used:

Distress oxide blended background using Faded Jeans, Salvaged Patina and Kitsch Flamingo.

I have sewn a piece of acetate on top to create a pocket.  I don't think I have ever sewn as straight as that...

 I have put sequins, paper cotton reels and paper buttons inside the acetate pocket.  

With my cricut I have print and cut a sewing machine (sewing machine, cotton reels and buttons are part of a sewing clipart collection from AnneIllustration over on Etsy)

I created and cut the word birthday three times out of white card using my cricut and then glued the cuts together. I also created an offset of birthday, cut this from vellum and layered this underneath.

The white embossed 'Wishing you a Happy' is from the Woodware Birthday Strips stamp set.
