Tomato Pincushion Love

Interested in a little more love-themed card making?   I created this design with another of my images in my Colouring Catch-Up Challenge that I had in my stash.  It’s a sweet image from the now closed Paper Smooches store.  

My mom was a seamstress for so many years.  She made the most beautiful garments for us, and in the same way that I have craft supplies, she had sewing supplies.  So, this image reminds me of her handiwork and the fun tomato pincushions that held pins on top as she was sewing, and the boxes and jars of buttons.  

I created the backgrounds on this mini-slimline design with a mini-heart stencil (MFT), and added some fun accent papers from MFT as well, and finished it off with a bit of scalloped lace ribbon, reminiscent of Mom’s sewing supplies.  The sentiment is from an old Stampin’ Up! set that sweetens the deal with a tiny wood veneer heart that’s been smooshed in ink.  

Thanks for visiting!

Presents for You

I really like what Kim Hughes is doing with her stamp company Paper Smooches.  The designs have such CUTE factor, and nice clean lines.  I was perusing the Paper Smooches blog and found a couple of challenges to do...this one is an inspiration challenge with this pretty room:

and here is where I went with it....

I've used two cute digi images from PS, and they're free too!  Then I created the card to really have the same feel as the inspiration room, the tufted white headboard, the polka-dotted walls, the black borders on the lamp...all done in paper, with some scoring and some circle punches.  I did add a little detail to the image with my multi-liner (the stripes in one present, the polka-dots in the other). 

I dig how it turned out :)  

Thanks for taking a look!  We are still in the deep-freeze of winter here, and I hope it ends soon!
