Paper Issues: You're Sew Cute, Keep Me in Stitches Issue

Hi Everyone!  There's a new issue at Paper Issues today.... You're Sew Cute, Keep Me in Stitches sponsored by May Arts !  Ideas for this issue include any project with stitching, floss, thread, twine, ribbon, fabric, anything that says cute to you, use buttons, sewing machine, babies, jokes, anything that makes you laugh, funny things kids say, or any project that uses May Arts products.  Here's what I created using some gorgeous 1.5" Celery Chevron Ribbon sent to me by May arts!

 

 

I used the ribbon to weave a can-sized vase. 

 

This is the inside...The bottom is simply a piece of chipboard.  From there, I wove the ribbon, and held it together with some hot glue.

 

To fill my vase I created a bunch of fall flowers using some Doodlebug Design Friendly Forest papers and a Sunflower Silhouette cut file from Jamie Cripps.

Zipper Cuties

I fell in love with Maya Road's Zipper trims the first time I saw them. They were just so different and fun. This past weekend I was away at a crop with the ladies from Right at Home Scrapbooking and got to play some more with the zippers. I stated out with a simple flower...

The leaf is made of Leaf Trim from May Arts. I colored it with Distress Ink. I cheated a little and used a Gluber as the base... much easier than sewing! The flower got the creative juices flowing and gave me the idea for my snow lady...


Her hat is made of felt, with a little velvet ric rac added and a flower. The scarf is the same ric rac. I backed it with some white felt to make it more stable. She was very fun to make! I'll be back later in the week with some Right at Home Layouts.
