My Sheri Crafts 120

Stitch Time

Time for another new challenge over at My Sheri Crafts!  Design Team sister, Sue, had asked us to create any project with a sewing theme.  At first, I was actually going to "sew" something like a small gift bag or even a Cricut cover.  Instead, I decided to make a card because I fell in love with the picture I found of a young girl sewing her clothes

The quote "I'm not buying that, I can make that!" is something (I believe) all crafters have said at least once in their life time.  I know I say it quite often and so does my mother... the one who taught me how to sew in the first place... and I just know you have too!

The stitching around the card is hand stitched using DMC cross-stitch floss.  The white flower is made from the same lace trimming around the card... yes, I sewed that by hand too!  LOL!

Thanks for looking!

Birthday card for the Chief

"Chief" is a nickname given to one of my friends since he's part American Indian and he just happens to like the Kansas City Chiefs football team.  So, for his upcoming birthday, I figured I'd use the current theme from  My Sheri Crafts to create this card.  Using one of the images from American Indian Art was actually my original project idea for the Design Team but I went with the Dream Catcher for that instead

Very simple card!  I printed the image on photo paper then framed it on top of plain white photo paper.  I used the same crushed / torn paper idea from my Dream Catcher card.  The beads at the corner was something from my stash

My Sheri Crafts #119

Native American Day

September 27 is Native American Day and Design Team sister, Peachy, had asked us to make any project inspired by the Native American culture.  My original idea was to download an image to use on a birthday card, however, upon browsing through many pictures on the internet... I saw a lot of dream catchers.  So here is my first attempt at making a dream catcher and I made the card to frame it with

I went to JoAnn's to get the leather strips and feathers.  The hoop is actually one of my kid's plastic toy bracelet... shhhhh... I'm sure they won't miss it!  The webbing is actually DMC cross-stitching floss and the beads were something I already had.  I made the card simply as a base to give the dream catcher as a gift
