Give a Cheer
I recently found out a FB friend had a heart attack last year and was scheduled to get a defibrillator on the 3rd of March. I left social media back in September 2019 so it has been hard to keep up with online friends. Anyway, my heart went out to her! Thought I would make her a little something something.
I once bought a beautiful yarn scarf from her that she had made with her own two little hands! Not being familiar with how that works, I could not figure out if it was crocheting or knitting... LoL... I only know paper! So I did double duty with this one! I have to show you the inside so you will understand. :)
This is a rubber stamp from La-La Land Crafts called Knitting Marci. It was the December 2020 kit. I missed buying it as a club plan so I had to fork over bigger bucks to have the set because I. Had. To. Have. It. ;) I purchased the Yarn Basket and Knit and Crochet dies that go with it. I used mulberry paper for the basket to give it some texture and look like one of those awesome fabric baskets Amazon has tons of. I also purchased the knitted panel that is part of the set but I could not get it to cooperate tonight so I went with this awesome Hero Arts Knitting Pattern rubber stamp for the BG. I used Tim Holtz distress ink pad in Picked Raspberry to stamp the image and ink the edges for a bit of a distressed look. I then colored in the stamp with a Copic marker to match the pink yarn she is knitting with! LoL YES! I put too much thought into this! The paper is from PhotoPlay called Crafting with my Gnomies. I colored Marci with Copic markers. She is sitting on a table that I made into a sofa from the La-La Land Crafts September 2020 kit. I also used the lamp from that set to make cushions for her to rest her back against and to act as the hanging fixture for the lamp I made from the yarn basket die by turning it up side down, cutting off the handles and using one of the knitting needles as a pull chain for her lighting needs! LoL I already said... I spent way too much time thinking this through! I emphasized the knitting of it all on the front.
Then on the inside, I added more die cuts from the Knit and Crochet die set and more of the same paper pack. The sentiment is from the Get Wool Soon digital stamp set from Power Poppy by Marcella Hawley. But this time, I emphasized the crocheting! The card base is black and I was not up to stamping and wet embossing my mark on the back of the card so I added that sticker that reads I totally made this because I plan to sign my name right above it. Ta-da! LoL
Thanks for looking!
