This Stitch is for You

Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog.  As challenge hostess this month I continue to issue the challenges.

Sunday 27th November is Pins and Needles Day which commemorates the opening of a historical Broadway Play called Pins and Needles in 1937.

This week let's create cards with a sewing theme, using either stamps, dies, papers, buttons, pins, needles or any combination of the above.

For my card today I created a pop up card using the Lots of Pops Pop Up Card die set designed by Karen Burniston for Elizabeth Craft Designs.

To decorate my card I used an image from Alota Rubber Stamps which unfortunately went out of business a number of years ago. 

Along the top and bottom of my card I used a zip die to create two zips. I have had this die for sometime and finally got to use it :)

Here is another view of my card so you can see the pop up part of my card a little better.

For the front of my card I used a sewing themed sentiment using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Circles and Dotted Scallop Circles for layering.

I added two reels of thread and a needle to embellish my card.

Don't forget to check out the CCEE Stampers blog (goes live 12 AM EST) to see the rest of the creations the CCEE Stampers created this week. You can also see more details of their creations on their individual blogs:
