Slow Stitching - Door Decor - Bethlehem Star

 I made a Christmas piece for my door.  It features the Bethlehem Star.   I chose a dark blue background fabric with a flannel foundation layer. Cut 6x8 inches. The star was cut with the Sizzix Star and Starburst die from white felt. It was stitched along each of the points with white thread.  The stars around were stitched with white thread as well. I tried to have a variety of sizes. 

I used some eyelet lace and other lace to create the hills around the town.  I put the building in the v shape where the hills met. I hand cut the buildings from grey felt and added yellow windows. I did highlight the building in white to help them stand out a bit more. 

Again, the backer fabric was dark blue cut to 8x10 inches. Folded to the front and folded again and top stitched to create the frame.  I added a hanger on the back of twill tape which I attached by hand.

Mason Jar Sticker Card

Here's a card which was my original design for the lace card for card club.  I did not have enough stickers for the kits I needed and I was having difficulty finding a graphic to match the dimensions of the sticker.  I just moved on to another design.

I chose a pink card to coordinate with the flowes in the vase. The eyelet lace has blue 1/8" satin ribbon pulled through the holes.  The ends are taped to the inside of the card.  I printed the flower vase onto white card layer and then added the clear dimensional mason jar sticker over the printed one.

A very nice feminine card.

Card Club - April - Eyelet Lace

A great feminine card for this class featuring eyelet lace. I pulled a length of satin 1/8" ribbon through the holes in the lace. Trimmed the ribbon to the length of the lace, saving the small length for later.  I then taped the ends to the inside of the card. I adhered the flower layer to the solid card stock layer. This accent was then adhered to the card front with 6 pieces of 3D foam tape on the left hand side of the card.  I then tied the short piece of ribbon onto the ribbon on the right hand side and trimmed the ends with scissors. 

The second card features a marigold and a golden yellow card with a coordinating satin ribbon into the white lace.
