Make it Mine Monday: Needle & Thread

Needle & thread.onstage.blog

It’s time for a Make it Mine Monday.  In this post I show you a lovely card that was designed by someone else and I show you how I change up the design to make it my own.  Today’s starting card is one we made at Stampin’ Up!’s On Stage event back in early November.  I’ve actually shared this card with you before, giving you a sneak peek of the new products.  You can check out the original post here.

As I mentioned in that original post, I LOVE this stitched design made using the Needlepoint Elements Framelits.

I love this original card but the off center designer paper just isn’t my thing and to be honest, I didn’t want to use that large of a piece of designer paper on my card for an upcoming class.  So, I took all the things (most everything) that I liked on this original card and figured out how to put them into my own card.

Needle & Thread.blog.1218This is what I designed.  I have the stitched design, the designer paper, the little stitched flowers and the sentiment.  I just changed the color of the card, the size and placement of the designer paper and I added a layer and a piece of ribbon.

What do you think?  Can you see how I basically kept the same elements of original card?

Give Make it Mine Monday a shot.  Share with me what you come up with.  I’d love to see your creations.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
