Well, here's what was inside the package - a Sweet Stitches Shadow Box! I had so much fun making this, and all I used was the "Sweet Stitches" designer paper from the current mini catalogue. This paper is fun to use with plenty of little details to cut out and use. I started out wanting to use the top note die to make a faux quilt by embossing the patchwork with my square lattice embossing folder. As I was selecting paper for the "quilt" I just had to cut out the little girl that was printed on one of the sheets to use as a feature. She is actually adhered to the inside of the glass, along with the little butterfly from the beautiful wings embosslit. I also used the new sweet buttons embosslit to enhance the quilt. As you can see, this all came together beautifully - thank you Stampin' Up for designing such lovely paper. All I had to do was decide where it should go! I snuck in two little stamps from the "Tiny Tags" stamp set, ruffled the ribbon (read technique here) and used crystal effects and white gel pen to add dimension. I love how this turned out and since I have now given it to a fabulous sewing friend, I will have to make another one for my own sewing room.
* After July 31st this paper ($16.95) will no longer be available, so don't miss out on this vintage sewing delight.
