| Here is a close up of the Stampin' UP! Bitty Button that I used to make the pillow look like it was "tuffed" |
Catchy title for today's post don't you think!?!? Hee Hee. I have to find something to amuse myself with. I just finished these four cards and have 12 more started. The chair is a digital image that I purchased on line. I printed it out on designer paper, then cut it out. I also printed an extra one on copy paper so that I could chop the pillow out of it and use it as a pattern. Then I traced around my pillow pattern, and cut them out and glued them down on top of the pillow. This is called paper piecing. I then decided to use one of Stampin' UP! Bitty Buttons in the middle of each pillow to look like the pillow is "tufted" with a button. It was just the finishing touch that it needed. Oh so cute!!!! I threaded the bitty buttons with some green crochet cotton I had in my bin. Some of my thrift store collecting. With the small amounts that it takes to thread a button, I am probably going to have to live a couple thousand years to use it up!
I decided on a striped pattern for the "floor" of the house. I typed up my own verses on the computer and printed them out. I would say this style card is out of my normal style, but I like it a lot. It is clean and simple. Sometimes I like to do things that are a little bit out of the box for me. My mom tells me that I don't always need all the bells and whistles on a card, that simple is cute too. When I had my store, people would tell me that I had a certain style to my work. That if they saw it some where, they could pick it out. I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing, but it is what it is.
I would love to hear what you think of these cards. Are they cute....!?!?! Too simple....!?!?! Leave me a comment and let me know what you think! Elaine
