This is the first project I made using the Sew Easy kit I showed you a couple weeks ago. I started by piercing and sewing the Razzleberry strip of paper. The piercer did punch through the thick card stock but I think it would have been easier on patterned paper. The blunt needle went into the holes easily but I had a bit of trouble getting it back through and bent the card stock a bit. It certainly takes some time to sew but once you get into the rhythm it's not too bad. That being said, I don't know how often I will hand-stitch cards! I like the way the piercing looks even without sewing so I probably will use the tool for that technique or look more often!
I do like the way the card came together in the end. I spritzed the sewn strip with some shimmer paint and adhered it to layers of the Razzleberry dsp on the card front. I added an embellishment from the Making Memories design shop package - the sun burst matched perfectly with the colours in my dsp! To compliment the sun, I used a chit-chat rub-on, 'sending warm wishes', vertically on the side of the card front.
Inside, I punched a border on more Razzleberry dsp using the little Anna Griffin Flora Collection paper punch that Stephanie sent me and then added an Anna Griffin designer Journal Tag (from the Peyton Collection) so I could write my message.
