A Bit of Sewing and a Card

Helloooo :)

I've dug out an older Lawn Fawn set this week for my blog post over at Seven Hills Crafts and my sewing machine too.... I wasn't sure how it would turn out but I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the end result!!


I tried stamping onto a piece of calico fabric and then turned it into a drawstring style bag to put my sunglasses in. The spectacles are from Lawn fawns Clear to See and I used black and red pigment ink which stamps really quite well onto fabric. You have to set it with a hot iron, I used a piece of greaseproof paper between the material and the hotplate.


I also made a card using the same stamps and matching dies....


I got myself some fun foam and applied a piece of Stick It to one side so could die cut more spectacles and use them as custom shaped foam dimensionals.... it's such a easy and fast way to pop up those intricate shapes :) 


More details can be found on the SHC blog post here if you're interested :)

  4. Those popped up glasses look brilliant, Jenny, and I love the combo sentiment! Cute little bag too. A friend gave me her old sewing machine and I haven't been brave enough to try it yet. I must break it out and dust it off!
