Happiness is living in a Shoe

Greetings! So hard to believe it is already mid-April, and yet, that it is "only" April with these hot temperatures!

Today's cards are traditionally colored with Tombow markers and pastel squares. The images are gold-embossed. Oldie but goodie techniques. The Shoe Cottage is being retired by Sparkle N Sprinkle and is currently available 1/2 off, while supplies last.

Most of the cards were designed using Cards N Things Sketch #115: 

One thing I experimented with was sewing on cards. These are my first attempts on a new machine, and I learned a lot! It was fun layering cardstock, designer papers, lace, punched pieces and tule fabric, and deliberately making crazy designs or multiple lines. DEFINITELY easy.


Also used were:
Spellbinders Grand Labels One, 
Spellbinders Rose Creations, 
Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish, 
assorted K and C designer papers, 
Martha Stewart punches
ribbons/fabrics from Joann's.
