2026 Slow Stitching Project - Page 31 - P1 - Pocket, Pink, Purple

A piece for the slow stitching challenge hosted by K3N Cloth Tales.  A to Z of slow stitch.

This week's prompt was Poetry and Pocket.

I chose Pocket into which I created a fabric Patch featuring Pink and Purple. 

I added some stitched Petals, and a bit of Persimmon /Pumpkin. 

There is a square of Polka Dots and a Pearl button.  There is a Pointed flap on the Patch.

I added blanket stitch around the edge of the Patch, a Pink button, 

I am finished the stitching for now. More may appear. 

Thank You Cards - Finally Set 2

The card base is SU Taken with Teal in the A2 size in portrait orientation.

Trimmed the rough edges off this piece and ripped the bottom edge.

I saw flowers in the salt marks in this piece so I took my fine black marker and drew them in.

Added stems and leaves reaching to the bottom of the paper with additional grassy strokes.

It pays to save bits of ephemera.  The green yarn came in really handy.

The A2 card base is SU Pumpkin Pie with a watecolor panel marked with saran wrap on wet color and left to dry.

I punched 4 holes with the 1/8 inch punch. Two on the right and 2 on the left.  I taped the end of the green yarn found in the stash and was able string it through the holes and knot both ends.

I added a SU Artisan Label punchie colored with pencils and held on the yarn with a orange clip.

With the yarn still on my table I used in this card.

I trimmed the waterolor to crisp straight edges.

I layed a strip of double sided tape to the back of the watercolor piece.  Layed my pieces of green yarn then added another piece of ds tape and adhered it to the SU Dusty Durango card base.

Once adhered, I picked apart the strands of the yarn to create this wavy row of goodness.

I added an 2 inch oval punchie greeting below the yarn frill.

The A2 card base is SU Island Indigo.

I added a piece of SU ribbon in So Saffron and flagged the bottom end.  Trimmed the top edge to the top of the card.

I mounted the piece of rough edge watercolor panel over the ribbon aligned along the top.

Each card has a white quarter sheet insert with a white envelope.

Cards - Christmas Trees - Watercolor

I am going to need a lot more Christmas Cards so I decided today to start.

I found a tutorial video on line for these 5 trees last week.

Masked the bottom of the trees then drew 5 triangles with pencil. Painted them with watercolor, drew designs on them, and added metallic accents.  Then spattered the watercolor piece by loading brush with color and tapping it against another brush to produce the blue spots.

I traced the greeting.

Trimmed the watercolor paper to fit on an A2 card. Mounted it onto a SU Baja Breeze card base.

Add a seasonal insert and white envelope.

This one is in non-tradional colors.

Purples and warm tones of yellow / orange.

On the last 2 I worked out how to print a greeting on the printer.  Took quite a bit of time but now I can repeat it when I want.

I did add a black line to ground the trees.

The card base is SU Pumpkin Pie with a seasonal insert and white envelope.

This card is all in blue tones with silver metallic accents.

Mounted on a SU Taken with Teal card base in the A2 set in portrait orientation.

Seasonal insert and white envelope.

 

Wood Board Birthday

I started with a sheet from the Stampin Up Adventure Bound DSP stack 4.5x6.5 inches.  I chose this wood board one from the great selection.  I then picked a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock.  Based on the challenge sketch I cut the DSP into several strips of various sizes.  I wrapped a piece of Pumpkin Pie Tafetta Ribbon around the largest piece leaving room for the greeting. I then knotted a shorter piece onto it to make a bow.  I then adhered the five pieces of DSP onto the card front keeping the design of the paper intact but leaving space between each one.  I chose a color printed greeting in Early Espresso cut with a framelit from the Apothecary set.  I added coordinating snap eyelets on both ends.  I adhered some Early Espresso accents to the back of the greeting then adhered it above the ribbon with 3D foam tape.

I am submitting this card to the following challenges:
SU TGIF - #50 - Sketch

R2G Card Kit - For You Scallop - Orange & Purple

Another card kit for my upcoming class.  This is similar to this one.  I chose Pumpkin Pie and Elegant Eggplant for this kit.  The For You flowers are color printed and punched with the 1 1/4" punch.  A layer of Kiwi Kiss at 1 3/8" then the scallop punch in the card color.  I used the SU Pretty Print embossing folder on the bottom 2/3 of the white layer. Put the 1/4' ribbon across the top and taped the ends to the back.  Adhered it to the card front.

 Assembled my greeting accent by gluing the small circle to the medium circle then to the scallop circle. This greeting accent is then adhered to the card front over the ribbon with 3D foam tape.

This one on right is Ruby Red and Elegant Eggplant with Kiwi Kiss .5 inch ribbon.
