ONCE AGAIN IT IS A SIGN OF THE TIMES, ANYWAY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO LOADING THAT MACHINE SOMETIME TOMORROW....IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE WEEKS LAST WEEK, THE WASHING MACHINE BROKE , AND I FELL OVER IN THE HALL WHILE I WAS CARRYING THE HOOVER AND BROKE THE PLASTIC CATCH, WHEN HUBBY CAME IN FROM WORK I TOLD HIM WHAT I HAD DONE, EXPECTING HIM TO RUSH OVER AND ASK IF I WAS ALRIGHT, AND ALL HE COULD SAY WAS IT WAS'NT THE NEW HOOVER WAS IT......OH THE SYMPATHY.

BASE CARD IS WHITE 320GSM.

MATERIALS USED ARE FROM A RANGE FROM TILDA

THEY ARE DIE CUTS AND ALL YOU DO IS PUSH OUT, THEY ARE SO SIMPLE, AND IF LIKE ME YOU DO NOT LIKE CUTTING OUT THEN THESE ARE IDEAL.

I HAVE MATCHED THE COLOUR TONES WITH THE DIE CUTS, SO HAVE USED PRIMARILY  BLUE AND PINK, THE EMBOSSING HAS BEEN DONE BY USING THE  EMBOSSING FOLDER BY X CUT CALLED HAPPY DAY'S, THESE MATCH SO WELL THE THEME THAT I HAVE CHOSEN FOR THIS DESIGN, IT TAKES US BACK TO A BYGONE ERA WHEN ELECTRIC SEWING MACHINES WERE NOT AVAILABLE. IDEAL TO SEND TO SOMEBODY  WHO LOVES SEWING, YOU COULD ALSO PERSONALIZE IT AS WELL.
