Guest Designer: My Sheri Crafts

For my 100th follower cartridge giveaway click HERE.

Thanks to my Disney card, I was selected as the guest designer over at My Sheri Crafts!! The challenge this week is to make a project that incorporates sewing (real or faux).

Thank you Sheri for this opportunity!

My card has a little fashionista on it, she is creating a fabulous new outfit to wear!

I've always wanted to learn how to sew. I will live vicariously through my crafts :)

This sentiment from My Creative Time was perfect for this card.

I added stitching all around, even on the sewing machine! I really love adding stitching to a card. It adds so much to it!

Make sure you join in on the fun and enter your creation here: My Sheri Crafts.

Carts Used: Nifty Fifties (Sewing Machine), Lacy Labels (Card Base), Recess (Girl at Desk), Once Upon a Princess (hair)

Fancy Dress

Another late night:) I made this card tonight to enter into the Getting Cricky Fashion-ista Challenge and Scrapbookaholicbyabby Challenge#9- Use bling.

I think it's no secret that I'm a huge Hello Kitty fan! I just had to use her for this fashion challenge!

Photographing this card was so a bit tricky because of the colors. I hope you can see the details in this lighting!

You can click on each picture for a larger view.

So...Hello Kitty went shopping and fell in love with a fancy new dress:

The top of the dress is shimmery and the skirt has some glittery dots on it. I added some crystals to give it a bit of a sparkle. It's hard to see it, but I added some glossy accents to the side of the heart and the little circles that lead to the thought bubble.

I added some stitching to the borders of the card, embossed the pink background with a large dot folder, and popped everything up with pop dots. Here is a side view.
