Mini Sewing project bookmark

Mini Project Bookmark Mouse!

Well, as promised here is a tiny sewing project:
I was asked to make some bookmarks and somewhere online I came across animal bookmarks, so here is mine:


Isn’t he so cute!?! I decided to use blue to give to a male. You can color with any colors you like!

Fold a 3 x 3” piece of Cardstock (I used White Daisy Cardstock, if using Cardstock make sure to use your bone folder and make sure to crease well and. Fold evenly.) Pattern paper can also be used..
Follow the pictures to fold:











Tuck the corners over the flap:





Now use a scrap and fold over end and cut out the shape you want your ears:


Cut them in half to have two ears:


Color the inside of your ears, nose and eyes with markers (I used Shin-Han alcohol markers):


Place a tiny bit of tape at the end of the ears and set aside:


Draw in some whiskers with a pencil and unfold:




Pierce holes on ends of whiskers and erase marks:


Use Silver Embellishing Thread to sew in the whiskers:




I just taped the ends on the inside:



Refill, add ears and enjoy!





Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoyed the project today! May be a good Christmas Odr Summer gift for kids!

Sew What?! - CTMH Technique Blog Hop

Sew What?! - CTMH Technique Blog Hop



Thank you for joining us on this Blog Hop with lots of ideas and tips for you while using the terrific thin cuts.. A Blog Hop is a 'circular' group of Blogs that you 'Hop' to (or click the link to) that will give you lots of tips, techniques and inspiration for the topic of the Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoy your time with us and enjoy the projects.
If you came from Haley Dyer's Blog you are on the right track!

Here is my project for today:
I love the Boutique Cardmaking Workshop Your Way! So...I just changed it up a little! The cards are so fun and easy to put together!


To make this card, I put the 3/4" strips of pattern paper from the kit across the front of the card diagonally and cut off the ends.


Then I stamped the Heart image from the kit (in Sugarplum and then rolled the edge in Saffron - have to say I haven't used this color much but it made a great pop of color for this card) and cut it out with the Stitched Heart Thin Cuts.



I can now 'sew' my Silver Embellishing Thread through the stitches that the Thin Cut left:



Back side:

All that's left is to stamp the sentiment and little stitches at the bottom of the sentiment piece in Charcoal Ink, tie a bow on the heart and add some Bitty Sparkles (I did use Thin Foam Tape to pop up the sentiment piece).


I know you can't see how sparkly it is on the photo, but maybe this close up will give you an idea:




Sew Easy! Adding the thread to the heart did take a couple of minutes, but SO worth it!

Ask your Consultant about the products above. If you don't have a Consultant I would love the opportunity to earn your business. You can contact me here or if you are ready to shop, you  can visit my website here.

Boutique Featured Paper Blog Hop

Boutique Featured Paper Blog Hop



Thank you for joining us on this Paper Pack Blog Hop with lots of ideas and tips for you while using the Boutique Pattern Paper and Collection. 
A Blog Hop is a 'circular' group of Blogs that you 'Hop' to (or click the link to) that will give you lots of tips, techniques and inspiration for the topic of the Blog Hop.  I hope you enjoy your time with us as well as all the projects.
If you came from Brittany Allred's Blog you are on the right track!

Here is my project for today:
I did a fun little card that also includes the new Color of the year, Sugarplum:



I centered the Cardstock and pattern paper on the front of the card base (opens to right side). Then for the sentiment base piece I centered the pink watercolor patter, however, you will notice that I left the top and bottom at 1/4” each of white showing and only 1/8” (to match the card sides) showing on the ends.
I also wrapped the Peacock word patter strip around the center of the pink piece and secured it on the back.



I stamped the sentiment (From the STAMP of The Month, S1809 Just Treats) in Peacock Ink and colored the ‘fat’ parts of the letters with the Sugarplum Shimmer brush, as well as the drops. I stamped the candies in black ink and the inside with Sugarplum. I then colored the candies (from D1806 Hello Pumpkin Stamp Set) with the Sugarplum Shimmer Brush, on the inside stripes and halfway on the wrapper ends (I just squiggled lines to try and match the wrapper end and then colored it in). I added 3 Bitty diamonds on the sentiment piece (by the droplets).
I adhered the sentiment at an angle to the pink strip and popped up the candies with thin pop dots.



Here you can see the shimmer:


I hope you like my project today. Here are the dimensions for the card pieces:
White card base (open to right side) closed 5 1/2 x 4 1/4”
Sugarplum Cardstock 5 3/8 x 4 1/8”
Sugarplum Cardstock 2 3/4 x 2 1/4”
Boutique Rose Pattern 5 1/8 x 3 7/8”
White Daisy Cardstock 2 x 4 1/4”
White Daisy Cardstock 2 1/2 x 2” (for sentiment)
Scrap White Daisy Cardstock (candies and cut out)
Boutique Pink Watercolor Pattern 1 3/4 x 4 1/8”
Boutique Peacock Word Pattern strip 1/2 x 5”

Just Treats

Just Treats is the September 2018 Stamp of the Month! 

The Just Treats Stamp Set is SO versatile, it can be used for the rest of the year and parts for the entire year!
Check out this Cute Treat bag:



Isn’t it cute? With our new Fancy Tag Thin Cuts this is such a quick and easy project!
Just cut the tag, decorate and add to your bag of treats.

Look 👀 at all the stamp images included in this set:



SO awesome to get 22 stamps for just $5 (with qualifying order - remember you can add the Fancy Tag Thin Cuts and a Stamp pad or Cardstock to help you with this set).

As always, the Stamp of the Month is only available during the month it is on special and will not appear in the catalog at a later date, so get it while it’s available. You can get this set two ways:
  1. Purchase the stamp set for $18.95
  2. Purchase $50 (before shipping and tax) or more of other products (to use with these stamps?) and then get the set for only $5 (saving $13.95 on it). When you get the stamp set this way please purchase the other products you want and add this stamp set AFTER you go to the shopping cart (just scroll to the bottom and there will be a button to click that will add it to your order for $5).
I have more samples of this set to come during the month and will definitely be using this a LOT myself!
Remember to get yours before September 20, 2018.

Have a great weekend and remember to Create it with Heart,
Debi
