It's a Good Day (Birthday card)  and a Thank You note with a sewing theme~


Made with bits of scrapbook paper and journal cards, there is some punching (for the doily edge and the 'ticket' strip)  and the film strip piece along the bottom is from Tim Holtz~


Here is a Thank You card made with a base of Kraft paper, then lace and checkered scrapbook paper.
The maniquin is chipboard with glass glitter and I've added paper rolls to imitate 'fabric' : ) and some buttons and beads.  The scissor washi tape is some of my favorite!  I rubber stamped "you're sew nice" on a piece of twill tape~




 I hope your day is going well.  I am still busy with family and travel, but have found a place to take a few minutes to blog : )
My THANKS!! to you for stopping in to take a peek!  I appreciate that so much~
blessings,
Karen

    Hello dear Karen, thank you for your reply on your earlier post.
    I understand it is a difficult time for you, and hope you will continue finding joy in creating and posting here.
    I love your beautiful birds card, so much to see,and wonderful colour tones too.
    The other gorgeous sewing card, is so beautiful, too, and wonderful with the little "fabric" rolls and the glittering maniquin .
    Your creatings are always a delight to see.

    Hello Karen. Both cards are lovely. But I guess I don't have to tell you how partial I am to anything that features birds! Have a great day. XO Sue

      Oh I know, right!?!
      Birds are forever classic and beautiful
      & in crafting I think they are always welcome! : ).

      Thank you Wen!
      Yes, when in doubt, a bird is always appropriate : )
      They will always be "in style"
