Sew Suite

Hello Monday Morning. Do you love Monday or hate Monday? There doesn't seem to be many people that are in the middle on this one. I don't really mind Mondays. I like a routine and Monday brings a routine with it for us.

So, what stamp sets did you think I would go for in the new Occasions Mini? Was it Sew Suite? I didn't think so. I actually do know how to sew, I just don't really enjoy it near as much as stamping. For me, sewing is a necessity, therefore  you will probably not ever see any sewing on one of my cards. Sad, I know but true. 

I love this little set and think that the DSP is just "sweet." You can find them on pages 5 & 6 of the Occasions Mini. For the background, I ran some Melon Mambo from the Big Shot with the Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder and then added a piece of DSP from the Sweet Stitches pack. (hint: layer it on a piece of Whisper White and it will add strength to if if you are going to mount it with dimensionals and it will stay nice and crisp for you.) I did round the corners on the left side only.  Next is some Whisper White Organza ribbon. I then stamped the dress form in Basic Black on some Whisper White stock and again on a piece of DSP from the same pack. I cut out just the top of the dress form and applied it on the Whisper White layer. This is then mounted on a piece of Garden Green Stock and raised with dimensionals. I also got the Button, Button stamp set on page 34 and used it with Versa Mark on a piece of Garden Green Stock. I then added my greeting in Basic Black, it is from the You're a Gem set on page 25. I punched them out with the 1" circle punch and mounted with dimensionals. To finished off the card, I did add some rhinestones. Some clear ones on the waist of the dress form and some black on on the feet of the dress form. I love the added texture & it of course ties in the greeting.

Super cute! I loved everything about your card. I happened by it on Splitcoast stampers when I was looking for inspiration.
