Sealed with a Kiss…

This 'n' That

31 Dec

…well actually I sealed it with a couple strips of snail down the center (a little tip from Jeanne) and then I SEWED it!  So this is my first attempt, other then my play pieces, but this is my official sewed on card.

DSCN6654 copy Stamp Set: A Kiss for Chloe  – I got this adorable set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps, Korin asked me to be the Guest Designer for them for the month of January, so watch for some fun stuff coming your way.

Paper: Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, Raspberry Tart, Gina K Luxury cardstock

Ink: Memento Tuxedo, Copics

Misc: SEWING MACHINE!!!!!, Top Note die, pretties half back pearls, gel pen

I am still getting the touch down for the copics and you are probably sick of hearing me say that, I guess I just feel the need to apologize for when the colors are not exactly what my brain thinks it will look like. I get a chuckle when I see other blogs where the girls lay out the markers they use, I swear I have them all on the table by the time I am done.

DSCN6656 copy But I really had fun with the sewing, I practiced on some cardstock and I felt more comfortable doing the zig zag stitch the first time out. I figured it would not show how crooked I am this way. I did not feel comfortable zig zagging so it looked like I was actually sewing the papers together, so I just did it on the DSP. Eric watched me do it and he said "you are not very good at it" well there ya go! Guess I won't be making him a shirt. Jeff kept coming out to my studio today and he would say "have you started my shirt yet?" the next time he would say "I take a large" what a nut!

I want to thank all of you for emailing me or commenting to find out if I am walking and I won't lie, I am failing, Jeff is off work and I swear my whole routine is shot with him home, so keep asking and eventually the answer will be YES! Cause he goes back to work next week!  I have been behaving with my food so at least that hopefully will help. (as I listen to Oprah Winfrey and they are talking about food…)

Have a great Wednesday, OMG! it will be New Years Eve!!!

Thanks for stopping in!

Hugs, Di

    I love your card!!! And you did a wonderful job in coloring the images. I have been wanting to buy copics for a while; so, I guess I will be saving my pennies till I can buy a few. I WANT TO COLOR LIKE YOU, and I love to see your watercoloring also.

    Great job with the sewing. Every time I touch a sewing machine something goes wrong. Beautiful card!

    It looks like you got the tension set perfectly. And I am envious of your stamping ROOM!! I have to use a stamping LAP!

    My sewing machine is 40 years old and in a beautiful cabinet that is TOO much trouble to set up for a card. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Hi, my name is Diana Gibbs and I have been a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 1999. I never imagined getting up and talking to people, I am deaf (I wear hearing aids) so talking to strangers has never been a fun thing for me. But put a rubber stamp in my hand and I will talk to anyone.

I hope you can find inspiration and learn new and exciting things while you are here. If there is ever anything you want me to teach you, just let me know!
