Mimi created a very fun and whimsical interactive card to inspire you today! She gave the Stitched Happy Heart a fun interactive element with Waving Pull-Tab Starter Set!


Mimi started with the Sunburst Backdrop, inking it with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide Ink and splattering with white ink. Then she assembled the waving pull-tab mechanism (altering it to make it fit the large heart) to give the heart flapping “wings”! She found the perfect wings in Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On.


She die-cut the Stitched Happy Heart from Watercolor Wishes 12 x 12 Lucky Penny paper and inked the edges with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide Ink. Instead of using the larger smiley face in the heart set, Mimi used dies from Tiny Gift Box Unicorn and Horse Add-On and Tiny Gift Box Bee Add-On for the eyes, cheeks and smile. She also added the scarf from Woodland Critter Huggers Summer Add-On for more character fun!


Then Mimi added the cute arms from Stitched Happy Heart to hold all the cute love letters! She added Happy Mail Foiled Washi to white cardstock, then cut out the individual envelopes to fill up the arms! To finish her card, she added a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Hearts.


Thank you for this adorable and totally clever inspiration Mimi!

Catherine designed a beautiful party with a sewing theme! This is perfect inspiration for your next party and a great way to think outside the birthday card for the “All Things Birthday” challenge!


Catherine designed this party with pretty pastels based on the Flower Market papers! For the banner she used Stitched Party Banners, Fancy Scalloped Circles and Louie’s ABCs.


For the cupcakes she used more Flower Market papers for the Stitched Scalloped Cupcake Wrappers. Then she added coordinating toppers with Scalloped Circles, Fancy Scalloped Circles and cute images from Sew Very Mice and Sewn with Love!


Who could resist this amazing party invitation? Catherine began with a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle, then she layered on Sunburst Backdrop. She created a fun shaker element with Embroidery Hoop which is the perfect place to add the party theme! I love how she included the party particulars in the Sew Very Mice embroidery hoops, that is just so clever!

Thank you so much for this brilliant party inspiration, Catherine! Such a fun party idea!
