Sew Easy Card


Morning, all! Kristina here. Happy Tuesday! :)

Today I broke out the Sew Easy tool and did a lot of stitching. :) I thought it would be fun to use different colors of floss to create a sort of stitched rainbow look.

I kept the rest of the card very simple--so the stitching could be the standout on the card--by using a simple die cut frame and sentiment stamp.

Enjoy!

Let's Celebrate the Fourth of July with Tim Holtz's 12 Tags!




















Hi bloggers!  In 2 short days my fellow Americans and I will be celebrating a day of history 236 years ago. A day declaring independence, the right to liberty and that beaming pride of RED, WHITE, and BLUE. 

Now that I've begun this blog in the most dramatic of fashions, how will YOU celebrate the holiday? I hope with good friends, family, and as tradition would have it... good barbeque!




















Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2012 is in full swing!   This month's July Tag is just in time to celebrate the Fourth of July.  Be sure to check out Tim's blog here for more information, a video, and detailed directions on how he created this vibrant tag.  You'll find a secret surprise in his post too (shhh it's....it's a special coupon code from Simon!)

Enjoy!
