Double Appliqué work using MFT die-namics

 Hello friends, I am up with another sewing card today.

I have used MFT die-namics Wild Greenery here to mimic the look of Applique work. I hope you know what it is!

It is also called patch work in terms of embroidery, where you stitch a small patch of design on to your main fabric.

I have used the leaf die cuts here as the small pieces sewn on the card front.

I first sewed the leaves, then I went ahead and also added stitches to the circle frame, hence the title - Double Applique work!

I actually don't have any MFT stamps on me currently, my stamps are either in India or the Phillipines, and thanks to the pandemic I can't travel at the moment. Luckily I had these die cuts on me, and wanted to give it a try making something with these.

Here are some process pictures, I actually made part of it in the night, so the lighting is not that great, but the finished project is photographed in daylight.

Here is the first step of die cut leaves, I have simply dabbed some ink pads on the white leaves to get some fall colors, and then added. those to the card front.

I pierced holes around the leaves for sewing

The back side after piercing the holes

and now the stitched leaves from back, I always capture how the backside looks too.

I cut out an edged circle around the stitched leaves and added to the card front, and also stitched around the circle to give a subtle framed look.

Then I added the printed sentiment, since I don't have any MFT stamps, I decided to print my own sentiment. The smaller sentiment is edged with gold glitter strip, and the bold one is added with foam adhesive.

I added an orange glitter strip to the top and bottom of the front, and also added a few score lines.

A few jewels to finish off the card.

Made this for the MFT Superstar 2020 Innovation Master contest

Honey Bee - Country blooms

Happy Friday everyone.

 You will be seeing 2 more scheduled posts today with some lovely cards.

I made a card just for fun now, and thought of sharing it right away.
As you all know I was on a hiatus because of my eye issues. Finally the doctor has given me progressive lenses, yes I think turning 41 and getting the progressive lenses makes sense 😂😂
I am still finding it bit hard to get used to these, the optician did some adjustments, and now I can see bit better and he asked me to come back every 3 weeks for adjustments till my eyes get used to the glasses.
Getting there slowly, one month is the adjestment time given by the optician, and its barely 2 weeks.

Anyways, I have way too many new stamps sitting and crying out loud to be used. So picked up the Honey Bee country blooms today, and used those.
I stamped and colored the images using zig clean color brush pens. I added a scalloped frame from MFT, and the sentiment is from SSS - big birthday wishes, this was a win from the work it Wednesday challenge. I have to use this set separately too, It really has some awesome stamps.

Finally a card using SSS Stamps

Happy Sunday everyone!
I am up with a card which I made a few days back, my blog was busy with Uniko release until yesterday.
So today is perfect to post it.

I used the set- Friends for life. The flowers are a multiple stamping set, I used shades of pink to stamp these..I did masking and stamping too, and used SU - wild wasabi to stamp the leaves around.
I decided to add a white frame to the front for some interest to the design.
I added the panel to a green base, just peeking from one side only.
The sentiment is also from the same set, I used pink and black ink to stamp. Finished off with a few green and pink jewels.
I am loving he whole design, hope you do too!
