Sewing card

 Hi Everyone. My card today was one I made for my SiL who is an expert sewer, so I thought this appropriate for her. I also added her face on the control button. I used a wonderful sewing machine by my blog friend Shirley.

I cut the main card and the top shape layer in pearlised card. I embossed the details on navy card, and rubbed over some gold metallic paste. Using the colours of the material for the cotton reels, I cut them out. The scissors were cut into 2 to use mirror card for the bottom. I used the cut shape in the file to cut the material and placed it on the shaped card. The sentiment was cut from the same navy card.

I placed a die cut leaf inside to add a little something with the stamped sentiment, as you can see in the first photo. I added it after I took the photo, as I thought it a little plain.

I have already added this to my FB page, but I thought I would add it here too, as it is so funny, I think! It's a little shaky as I had the camera on a long zoom and couldn't hold it still. They are using the butterfly net over the veg, protecting them from the carrot fly.

Great card Faith, I have a friend this would be perfect for. Thanks for sharing the video, so funny! We seem to have lots of magpies visit our garden lately. Perhaps I need to build them a trampoline. 🤣 xx

Another fab and fun card I love the details on this especially the button with your SIL face on it and the humourous sentiment as always your cards make me smile. I saw the video on FB and it made me laugh they are determined little so and so's aren't they.

Such a wonderful card! I have a sewing machine SVG file that I've never made... you've inspired me to at least take a peek at it, lol! I can't remember if it's a flat one or 3-D. You've done a great job on this one for your seamstress SIL!

This is just a fabulous personalized creation made for your SIL! The sewing machine is fantastic in itself, but adding her picture to it took it way over the top for me! This card is truly a gift in itself! Love those playful birds too :)

Oh my gosh, Faith, I think this is one of your best makes ever! She will treasure it and hopefully display it. I know I would! LOVE!!!! Thank you for ALL your "Arfur" wishes you leave me, I get a chuckle every time I read that nickname. Sadly, the heat + humidity riles at least one of the Arfurs up but I'm used to it by now (20 years in 2023) and only resort to whining and complaining on days it's overbearing. I usually sleep a lot. :-) XOX

Super sewing themed card for your SiL and I love that sentiment inside!

Thanks for sharing the magpie video. They are curious and funny little things! We have one that comes and dabs his food into the bird bath, presumably to soften it before eating! xxx
