Until recently, I did not really appreciate the art of card making. I have since discovered that great satisfaction of creating a little piece of art that can be completed in a short time. It also gives one the chance to experiment with new ideas and techniques without destroying too much of ones precious resources.
Sew into you....

| A sewing theme rendition of the multi step card. The dress form is a Tim Holtz die. |
 |
| The dress form is hand decorated using a white gel ink pen. The measuring tape ribbon came from Typo. |
 |
| The little hanger is a Tim Holtz embellishment |
 |
| This is the die cut spool from Tim Holtz simply wrapped in natural string. |
The flight of the hummingbird
 |
The front step card is a little tricky to master at first but once you get the hang of it becomes easier.
It features the bird cage from Tim Holtz.
The papers and stamps come from the Hummingbird range from Kaisercraft. |
 |
| The hummingbird stamp is from Kaisercraft, the words from Papertrey Ink |
 |
| I can't remember where I got the bird die from. The flourish is a Cherry Lyn die. |
 |
| A side version of the card. |
Going Dotty...
 |
| I love the simplicity of this card. Using a small dot embossing folder acquired from Warehouse Stationery, I embossed only 3/4 of the card. A simple ribbon and word statement gives the overall look an elegant touch. |
The origami dress....
 |
Just like the card above, the simplicity of this card is what makes it so appealing.
I learnt the origami fold on YouTube. I will do a video later.
Miss Betty Tiger Lily Kit |
 |
| The white card base is embossed and the paper strips are mounted with 3D foam dots. |
 |
| Using more of the Kaisercraft Tiger Lily range... |
One cup or two...?
 |
| Papertrey Ink die and stamps |
Forever Friends...
 |
| A few charms attached with ribbon and a Tim Holtz mini paperclip |
 |
Gathered ribbon. This is a really easy way to add effect. A strip of tape is placed on the card.
The ribbon is adhered one gather at a time. |
 |
Sometimes I just look for ways to use the huge amount of embellishments I have acquired!!
