I used a very simple but effective fold called a Tent Fold which creates a window card with a built in stand.

Card Recipe:
Image - Sewing Basket by Isabella's Sketchbook
Paper - Sew Cute by My Little Shoebox
Medium - Copic Markers
Twine - The Twinery
Sentiment - Printed
Acrylic Letters - Unknown
Border Punch - Martha Stewart Garden Trellis
Scoring Tool - Scor-Pal
Die Cut - Spellbinders Labels 3



This is the inside of the card. Instead of permanently attaching the front of "tent flap" I used Velcro so the card can still be opened completely.


I added a message mat on the back for your greeting.


I made individual spools from cardstock and wrapped 4 colors of The Twinery twine around them to make mini spools of cotton!


I know the sentiment is corny but it sure would bring a smile to my face if I received it. I love the color of these letters but I have no idea what brand they are, I've had them years, bought them from a clearance bin, you know how it is :)
I finished the card with a hand stitched border in gorgeous bakers twine!


This was such a fun card to make and it won't be the last time I make these mini spools, I'm already thinking of more corny "sewing" sentiments to use :)

Now if you leave a comment on all the blogs you could win:


A Scor-Buddy donated by the fabulous people at Scor-Pal
