Nevertheless ,she PURRsisted

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going!

That's the thought behind this card. I had been going through some rough patch and seem to be on a see-saw in terms of my crafting. Whenever I have trouble focusing, I always reach out for my needle and floss, as it helps me to focus for a while.

A lot is going on and I needed to quiet my noisy inner-self, so I had to sit down for few minutes to make this card.

Pretty easy make, took me roughly 15 minutes from start to finish.

I printed this quote off the computer and then doodled the cat outline and stitched it using a grey floss and pink for the nose, and used the awl to trace out a double lined rectangular focal panel, and it was done.

This card is made thinking about my mom, so words are pretty much for her.

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

Stencils and Sewing - Uniko Brand Ambassador Inspiration

Hello Friends, I am up with some more stenciling and sewing on Uniko. Today I have used Uniko stencils for this.

For the first card I chose the Mehndi Mandala stencil and inked it up in black soot distress ink, and then pierced the holes along the negatives around the design to add stitches. I stitched a green flower sequin for the center.

I then trimmed the panel and added green glitter strip to the top and bottom.

The sentiment is from Birthday wishes set.

Adding this with:

Seize the Birthdays

The second card is made using the Natures treasure II stencil and mask

I used a circle mask and then added the leaves around it.

I inked these leaves in fall colors, and then added the stitches with a brown floss. I used outlined start sequins to stitch around the circle to create a frame.

The sentiment is partly from stash and the the "friend" is from All Occasion sentiments #3.

Stitched Jasmine Digi

Hello friends, I am up with more sewing today!

I used the Jasmine digi from Alex Syberia and added sewing to it.

I kept the coloring basic here, not much shading done, used the Prismacolor pencils for the coloring part. Then I added the stitches, for the center I have used some star outlined sequins along with some beads.

The sentiment is from Waffle Flower.
