Sew Glad to Have this Card from Marlene!

It's a rainy day here, so we're staying warm inside!  This has been the perfect opportunity to catch up on a few projects -- including work on my Christmas photos collage album.  Anyway, I also had a chance to look back through and noticed I had some great cards I've been meaning to share and hadn't yet.  So, here's one of them.  I received this card in a swap with my friend Marlene Caravello back in early January! 


Marlene used the Puns from the Past stamp set on her card.  The "fabric" in the sewing machine is a piece of Blushing Bride 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon.  Clever, huh?! 

The designer paper behind the sewing machine is from the Springtime Vintage paper.  Marlene, please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the other designer paper (the piece behind the focal image and used for the buttons) is from the Sweet & Sour Designer Series Paper pack.  The buttons are die cut and embossed using the Sweet Buttons Embosslit, which I have been having great fun using, too!  The textured piece is embossed with the Square Lattice folder.

The inside of the card is beautifully finished, too!  Here it is:



It has more buttons created with the Sweet Buttons Embosslit, and some stamped with the coordinating Button, Button stamp set.  Marlene used the Eyelet Border along the piece on the left side, and she added some Rose Red Seam Binding Ribbon on the other side of that piece.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for posting my art, Michelle. You always make it look so much more appealing. I notice that the glue dot shows through the ribbon. Yikes. Oh well. I'll keep that in mind for next time. Marlene Caravello
