Welcome to Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Company's
June Blog Hop!
Today's set, I'm in Stitches, is a fun one, whether you sew or not. My CAS card today features the vintage electric sewing machine. I actually learned to sew on a machine that looked like this, except that it was a treadle machine. (That will tell you how old I am!!!) I stamped the image and embossed it with Detail Black embossing powder and trimmed it with a gold pen. Then I stamped the sentiment and added the gold line stickers. Voila -- I was done!
I decided to make a quilt card for my second card today, using papers from the Basic Grey Nook and Pantry paper pack. I think we probably all had that tomato and strawberry accessory for our sewing needs. After I constructed the "quilt," I embossed it with the Square Lattice embossing folder. The sentiment and tomato are popped up on pop dots.

These are really fun! I love the quilted look to your second card and the CAS sewing machine card. I would swear that my grandmother's sewing machine looks exactly like that one!
I especially love quilt cards. They are so colorful!
Love both of these Lois!!
Beautiful CAS; beautiful quilt card!
Love your CAS card, Lois. The quilted one is awesome, too. It is just perfect for this set. Yes, that tomato was the rage. I still have one from years ago that someone made me. Yours looks prettier than mine, though..with the dp covering it.
Two great cards. Love the clean look of the first card and wow to the second....sew awesome.
Both of these cards are so good. Love the border around the first one and that quilt paper with the 2nd one. :) Janis
Awesome job. I love the simplicity of the first one.

I really enjoy the look of the first card, so clean! The other card has great colors! Love the quilt!
I still sew on a machine similar to this. I like the embossing on your quilt card.
Lois, love the papers you used on your quilt card. Your CAS card is stunning!

Sew nice. Wish I knew how to sew. My mother was a wonderful seamstress. I took Home Ec sewing in high school.
Had jury duty summons today. 25 people were selected. I was left in remaining 28 group and after waiting for some time we were told we were not needed & could leave.
