Andrea made a matchbook sewing kit with a Tim Holtz Matchbook Die, Paper Artsy’s Jade Infusions Stain and Tim Holtz’s Block Talk Lowercase Alphabet Die Set.

Anna-Karin often forgets to use fabric, but really loves it. This week, she made two cards with fabric piecing of adorable Dina Wakley Scribbly Girlies stamps. There is also some fun messy stitching. The papers are from Tim Holtz Correspondence pad.

Barbara admits thet she’s not very able  to create with fabric and stitches ! Today she has tried to add some stitched detail to her tags made using Idea-ology Textile Surfaces Paperie, Distress stains sprays  and two Sizzix dies: Layered leaf and Feather duo!
