You & Me


You & Me. We were meant to Be. You & Me.

Here's another shot at my own challenge to use the Christmas Wrapping Paper from this card look completely different on another card. I cut strips of the paper so the lines are at different angles, folded them lengthwise for dimension and sewed them behind the window of white cardstock. I've learned the hard way that red sticky strip tape doesn't work well with sewing machine needles, but that Goo Gone does work wonders on getting the goo off the needle. Of note: I'll have to ask my "Sewing Teacher" aka Mom how to change the needle next time she comes to visit. This tiny and intimate card is my third submission for Everything but the Kitchen Sink's current challenge and another notch off the learning curve on using my new sewing machine.

Here's the Goods: White Cardstock, Wrapping Paper, Black Thread, SU So Many Sayings Stamp Set, Red Sticky Strip Tape

  5. So cute! I love the folded paper! There is a little screw on the side by the needle, turn that to loosen and pull the needle down to come out. Then replace. Thanks for playing with us in the challenge! :)
