NSD : stitching challenge

 

Nsd

Hello!  Happy National Scrapbook Day!
 
Kimberly and I are here today to issue a stitching challenge.  Grab your paper piercer or that Sew Easy tool, and create a project or card using hand stitching. 
 
If you need instruction on using the Sew Easy tool, check out this video:
 
 
And if you need help on hand stitching, check out this one:
 
 
My Sew Easy tool video shared the creative process behind this layout, which uses the State Fair line from Studio Calico:

And check out what Kimberly came up with for this challenge:

I’m so excited to be co-hosting with Davinie a challenge for you all here for NSD!

I love to add a bit of stitching to my projects. I think it adds a perfect finishing touch to a project, or an added dimensional value as well.

For my projects, I cut out some circles and placed them on cardstock and sprayed with Mister Huey's Bonny Blue and lemonade, then used the scallop attachment around the circles. I also wanted to add a bit more to the design, so I used the blanket attachment attaching the 2 pattern papers together. I find it fun to use the stitch tool with out stitching, you will see how I did this on the inside of the circle.

I love you for like ever

(Supply list- Cardstock: More Vanilla; Papers: Studio Calico State Fair-Best in Show and Guess your Weight; Mister Huey’s: Lemonade and Bonny Blue; Sew Easy Tool and heads- Scallop, Blanket and straight stitch)

 I really love how she created a circular pattern with the Sew Easy tool.
 
The tool is not required, but hand stitching is if you'd like to play for a prize and perhaps learn a new technique.
 
Have a great day!  We can't wait to see what you create. Link your page in the comments of this post by Friday May 13th for a chance to win a My Mind's Eye Lush 2 prize package!

Love the look of hand stitching as I can used thicker embroidery floss. The top left card on my layout here features some hand stitching for this challenge:
