SOS: Tie one on...

This week at Shopping Our Stash, we are encouraging you guys to make a project using some form of string, yarn, ribbon... you get the idea... if you can tie it, use it!

If you like it then you shoulda put a string on it... sorry.  Had to say it.

I made some CAS thank-yous:





Supplies:

  • The hearts were made over a month ago out of multiple layers of old typing paper sewn together and then watercolored with Loew Cornell watercolors
  • For these projects, I wrote "Thank you" with a Zig Emboss-writer and heat-embossed with Ranger EP in Princess Gold
  • Hearts popped up with 3M foam tape
  • Corners of the cards punched with a Fiskars punch
  • The various fibers were sent from Andrea's stash... I am not into reality TV, but I swear: if there was a show that snooped on people's stashes, I'd watch.  Andrea, I can only imagine your fiber stash.  
Hey!  See you over at SOS... visit my cool teammies, too!  Some talented ladies over there!
And... LET'S GO, OAKLAND!!!

    These are really cute and pretty and I laughed at your 'put a string on it' joke.

    Nice stitching!! I really like that these are kinda rough around the edges, and I'm sure that was on purpose to achieve this particular look.
