Mini Embroidery Hoops

Uncategorized

5 Apr

Hello, Crafters.

Yesterday
morning I went to the hairdressers to get my hair done ready for the
weekend, and this morning I’m off to get my nails done!
 
It
isn’t only stamp sets I buy and don’t get round to
using……………it’s also embellishments! 

Yesterday I decided to
have a play with the Mini Embroidery Hoops that are in the Spring/Summer
Catalogue (page 14). 

The size of the hoops co-ordinate with the A Happy
Day Stamp Set, as well as the two New Scallop Circle Punches – 1 1/8″
and 1 3/8″.  

The only projects I’ve seen made with the hoops are with
stamped images from the stamp set inside the hoops, and (I imagine)
popped up on Dimensionals. 

I
have made mine a little bit differently, in as much I have tied mine to
the smallest Mini Embroidery Hoop, with the little deer suspended on a
piece of Linen Thread. 

Without recording a video, the only way I could
think of photographing the hoop hanging lose is by tilting the card
forward – see the last photograph.

I
used three stamp sets for this card:-
A Good Day for the
deer
Touches of Textures for the background behind the deer and behind
the sentiment
Confetti Celebration for the sentiment.
 
I
also used five different punches!

I used::
Banner triple punch to
fishtail the end of the banner
Ticket Tear Border Punch for the
decorative strips down both sides of the banner
1″ circle punch for the
deer
1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch to layer the deer onto
Classic
Label Punch for the sentiment, which I stamped with Basic Black Archival
Ink. 

The
colour scheme of my card is Berry Burst, and I chose the brick wall
design from the Painted with Love Designer Series Paper (DSP). 

For the
top Whisper White layer, I dry-embossed it using the Brick Wall
Embossing Folder but I didn’t like the look – it looked crowded.

I
dry-embossed another sheet, but this time I used the Simple Stripes
Embossing Folder, from the Spring/Summer Catalogue, with the stripes
going horizontally.

To
finish decorating the front of the card, I added five self-adhesive
sequins in Berry Burst, and then popped a small Rhinestone in the center
of each – it’s amazing how much of a pop they give the sequins!

Inside
the card I adhered a layer of Whisper White CS, on a layer of Berry
Burst CS. 

When I first started my card, I was going to use a die cut  of the deer, but it was too big for my needs, so I adhered it inside the
card instead.

That’s about it from me today, so I hope you have a great day, and until tomorrow, happy crafting!

JanB.

    What a sweet card!! I haven't used the brick side of the painted with love DOS because I guess I just couldn't think of what to do with it. I really like how you used it, Jan. Same with the wooden hoops which I'm going to try to get. In all, just a very beautiful card!! Thank you for sharing. God bless and have a beautiful day!

      Hi, Jan. I found using the hoops a bigger challenge than the DSP. I'm also playing with the other wooden elements we have – definitely somethng different to work with! God bless you too, Jan. ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.

    What a great idea Jan, I tend not to purchase the embellishments (1) because I am not so keen on these on cards and (2) when I do I forget I even have them to use! LOL

      Hi, Lorraine. I know exactly what you mean! When I first saw them, I thought it was a strange idea, but I like a challenge and decided to go for it! ☺ Happy crafting, JanB.
