A Sew Fun 3 x 3!
Making this little 3 x 3 was purely fun tonight!!! I always love doing 3 x 3’s — they are *sew* quick and the canvas is *sew* tiny — I consider them just a delight to do!!! And tonightI used this tiny little image from a Crafty Secrets set called Glamour Girls. Bear in mind when you look at this picture that the entire card is only 3x 3, to give you some perspective on the size of the main image!!! And, as you can tell, I chose to dig into my sewing cabinets tonight and use some sewing notions to adorn this lovely, but apparently greedy, lady — LOL!!! But gee, doesn’t she sound like the lot of us!!!! Hereshe is:
She is colored with Copics, cut and embossed with a Rectangle Nestability Die, mounted on a scrap of fabric cutwith regular old-fashioned dressmaker pinking shears (kind of unheard of since the advent of the Sergers), and further adorned with buttons, pearls, a safety pin, a common pin, a crystal bead and tulle. That’s it — digging in my sewing cabinets, pulling out what looked like it might work! There are 4 tiny images like this in this set. I’d like to make a coordinating 3 x 3 from each stamp and have a set — what fun!!! But, only time for 1 tonight!!! (Oh, and that little smudge by her ear has since been fixed — the glory of the Copic Colorless Blender!!!) And I do have 2 scored lines across the top, that I easily did on my Scor-It Mini, but they don’t show up in this photo, though they do add a nice touch IRL!!!

Wow, a lady with attitude who knows what she wants, I like it! Adorable card Sharon!
What a glamour gal! Marvelous 3 X 3 size– I never make those, and they are so much fun!
Such a FUN 3×3 card with lovely details!
So very cute-like the image mounted on the fabric square. I may try that as I have lots of fabric from my quilting stash. tfs
How cute! Very creative… but then again, you always come up with such creative ideas. 🙂
Gorgeous!!! The sheer ribbon and stick pin really finish it off!!!
Too too cute, Sharon – love it!
This little lady is very glamorous and your tulle and hat pin make it an over-the-top gorgeous card!!
Very sweet and *sew* cute Sharon. hee hee Sorry had too… Great coloring and I love the pin.
This is darling, Sharon! What a cute set of cards this would be — like a box of candy! I love it! I still have my pinking shears but these days I use them as paper edgers.
Cute card. I always say my motto is – I want it all and I want it NOW! Chase bank has that as the them song on a commercial and it runs through my head when shopping for scrapbook supplies.
This is DARLING!! I just love this stamp set. I haven’t used these “little ladies” yet but I love your idea of using them on 3 x 3s! Thanks for the inspiration!!
Sharon I LOVE this!! I especially like that sentiment!! Shall I tell my husband!! I want it now and I want it delivered Honey!! What a hoot!!
Not to mention gorgeous! You are so creative Sharon. A totally beautiful card and the pin is just the right touch!
So cute.. a woman who is spunky and isn’t afraid to say what she wants– love it!! Hope all is well!
This is gorgeous!
Such a pretty card! Love the tulle. I’ve never thought to bring my pinking shears upstairs to my scrap/stamp/card-making room. I’ll have to try them on a project sometime.
Great details with a lot of sass! Love this little 3X3!
