MACM – Sweet

in Cards, Make a Card Monday

MACM - Sweet

Super fast note this morning… heading out to work.

This week’s card took a LONG long time to make. I’m sure you can imagine how long it took to make the paper pieced plaid pattern, right? Yep. It took a long time. Although… I have some ideas on how to make it quicker. Stay tuned for that. :)

I used Sassafras’ Delicious Felties as inspiration for the card. Aren’t they cute?! And paired up with some Halloween chipboard stickers? Yes, Halloween! They’re American Crafts Hocus Pocus Thickers. :)

Anyhow, enjoy!

What a cute card! You are the Queen of Faux Stitching! I thought for sure that you had machine stitched on this card when I first saw the picture. I should have known better!

Kim September 28, 2009 at 10:52 am

This card is fantastic! I love it (and pretty much everything you make)!

Angie (your Utah neighbor) September 28, 2009 at 11:12 am

Oh my goodness!! I’m completely addicted to the Sassafrass Felties. I think I’ve purchased nearly all of them from 2 Peas! This card is so perfect; and the pink, orange and brown plaid is scrumptious! Thank you for another great card. You, my dear, have been blessed with a fabulous gift! Have a great week.

Cute Cute! Love those felties! I know you have said this before, but I was curious what paper cutter you use? I have a fiskars little arm cutter and it doesn’t quite cut straight enough. I need to start dropping hints to my hubby for Christmas!

Kristina Werner September 28, 2009 at 1:23 pm

Just updated my FAQ to answer your question. I also posted the info in a new entry. :)

Mary September 28, 2009 at 12:42 pm

Another beauty! This must have taken forever. I wish I could do faux stitching as well as you. Great job!

Sonal September 28, 2009 at 1:38 pm

Great card.

Did you buy those strips of paper or you cut them your self…love the color combo too.

Have a great week.

Kristina Werner September 28, 2009 at 2:05 pm

Mel H. September 28, 2009 at 1:39 pm

Such a cute card. I got my prize today in the mail…the white gel pen! Thank you!!!!

Mrs SudsMuffin September 28, 2009 at 3:39 pm

Sometimes I wish that I hadn’t discovered you until just today, so I could go back to the beginning of all your videos (again) and watch them all brand new to me. :) Beautiful work as always. What I really like with this one is showing how to use tools and just plain paper, especially good when you are trying to use up little scraps and bits. Great job.

Vickie Lee September 28, 2009 at 4:30 pm

You are amazing how you design these fabulous cards!

NatQuebec September 28, 2009 at 4:59 pm

so cute as usual

Shereen September 28, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Karen September 28, 2009 at 6:28 pm

Jaded September 28, 2009 at 8:39 pm

Stunning and very adorable card :) I was so inspired by this card and your ribbon weaving card that I combined the two techniques and made a Christmas card!

Monica S Sheldon September 28, 2009 at 9:39 pm

Jewels September 28, 2009 at 10:21 pm

Tarynne September 29, 2009 at 1:41 am

Eveline van Heijst September 29, 2009 at 7:00 am

Those felties are adorable. Want some too!
Your card is lovely, great color combination.
Eveline.

Kim L. September 29, 2009 at 9:28 am

That’s such a ’sweet’ card! Love how you can use up scraps on the plaid pattern, but gosh – you have to have so much patience to adhere all those teeny tiny strips! :-)

Debra September 29, 2009 at 10:21 pm

Hey, Kristina Kraft!
What? Your name isn’t Kristina Kraft? Maybe it’s Kristina Faux-Stitching, or Kristina White-Gel? Ha ha. Nup! I LOVE your stuff and don’t care how much you use those things. Loved this week’s card (as always). The plaid, the scallop border and the felties! Great work, love it. :o)

Noor September 30, 2009 at 12:33 pm

Flora September 30, 2009 at 2:59 pm
