I'm sure you've probably noticed all the beautiful fabric choices out there! Last week my mom came over and taught me how to sew (not that I am now an expert, I still have A LOT to learn!!) and we made Sadie a simple little dress that I'll show you sometime! I had leftover fabric from her dress and I used some of the scraps to make the yo-yo on this card!
I have a feeling you'll be seeing me use a lot more of these!! They are SO fun (and easy to make too)!! I also used a doily on this card which is another new thing for me. I've had them sitting next to my space for some time now but have never taken the time to incorporate one onto a card. This sketch seemed to be the perfect time to try one!
The rhinestones are colored with my copics!! I love that I can custom color embellishments to meet my needs!
I sewed a button to the top of this yo-yo but they are so cute plain too! I can't even begin to imagine all the possibilities that you could do with these!! So fun!! You want to know a funny story? I was chatting with Amy last night and told her that I had picked up something different to try and after I told her she said that she had almost purchased supplies to make some too! We had never even discussed it! Amy, Laurie & I are always joking about being peas in a pod...guess that this is another example of that!
Here is the sketch that my card is based on:

Hi Jen, love the way you've used the doily - they are on my shopping list to seek out sometime. Fun yo-yo too.
ReplyDeletereally pretty!! so many fun details on this card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun card Jen! I adore those colors and LOVE yo-yo's! My mom has made a million of them for quilts and such. I have been meaning to learn how so that I can use them on my projects, but sewing scares me to death! HA!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Jen..Love the flower..I really want to try one of those... Thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome use of the doilie and the flower is cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is SO pretty Jen! I love the vibrant colors, the pretty yo yo fabric, and the stamped doily! just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card...love the special embellishments you added!
ReplyDeleteLovely card. I really like the sentiment and the font it has. Beautiful yo-yo, only I thought it was a poofy flower. Either way, very nice!

ReplyDeleteOmg! This is one FUN card!!! I love love the fabric you used on the yoyo! You have sealed the deal and I will now go buy the yoyo makers! I'm still amazed that we were thinking of the same thing this weekend!!!! Peas.....I tell 'ya!!! :)
ReplyDeleteToo cute! I almost bought a yo-yo kit from Hobby Lobby the other day! LOL I can't wait to see your sewing creations :)
ReplyDeleteYour card is great and you use wonderful colors!
ReplyDeleteLove the yo-yo flower - and yes they are fun to make - I'm thinking I may have to make a few now to use on cards. The lace doily just sets it off.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, LOVE this card! The colors are so bold and work perfectly together. And your yo-yo flower is the perfect finishing touch!
ReplyDeleteJen, keep using new elements - you're a natural! The card is awesome...the colors, yo yo, doily - just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I love that fabric! My coffee cozy and camera strap are all out of that same stuff! Such an adorable card! I love how you used the doily! Can't wait to see the dress!
ReplyDeleteOh, how pretty!! And thanks for the reminder about coloring rhinestones with Copics. It works great, but I often forget about it! lol
ReplyDeleteI love your super stylish card, Jen! The doily and the yo-yo make for such a great take on the sketch! I *just* bought a yo-yo maker and fabric myself! Now I can't wait to try it out!

Fantastuc design!! Love that cutie yo-yo combined with the doilie :)
ReplyDeleteWOW I love those colors and that fabric flower is just perfect!!!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to believe this is your first sewing project because it looks so poilshed, Jen. I love it and you have inspired me to use the doilies I have had in my stash for some time without using them.
