Sew not a card!

This doesn't look like what I usually make does it?
Rae talked me into teaching her how to sew one of these, so we spent a fun Tuesday working with our Big Shots and a sewing machine. It's so easy to do. All the squares are cut with the scallop square die in the Big Shot! Takes just a couple minutes to do 38 squares! And they all turn out exactly the same size!!! Then they're sewn together with some batting and handles and a closure and voila! A purse is born!
If people are interested, I'm thinking about doing a class. Let me know what you think and I'll work out what you need for supplies and cost and all that.
Take care!

Nephew's Birthday

This is a card for my 18year old nephew. I used some things that will be available May 1 with the new Summer Mini.
The stamp is a single stamp called Motorcycle. The birthday greeting which is a wee bit too high (oops) is from teeny tiny wishes.
The cardstock is Night of Navy, Bravo Burgundy and Naturals Ivory. I've used one of the Large Grommets as an accent.
The embossing folder is in the new Mini too, it's called Square Lattice. I also used the Tearing Edge to get the rough edges.
All products are Stampin' Up!

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted!! I just got some exciting news from Stampin' Up! and I want to share it with you.
With the new catalogue in July (yes, that’s seems like a long way off) there will be a colour renovation!! Stampin’ Up! is keeping up with the times and revamping the colours we offer! We are keeping some of the old colours but switching them around into new colour collections. There are some retired in Colours coming back and a few brand new colours. They all look fantastic! I have attached pdfs to an email I've sent to all of you on my mailing list, of the new collections and of the colours that are retiring. So if some of your favourites are retiring, I’d suggest you order some extra in the next few months to make sure you have enough to last.I’m so looking forward to the new colours!!! I think I’ll go rearrange my craft room! Hehe
