For this card I raided my scrap paper stash, grabbed my circle & flower punches, and sat at the sewing machine. I cut a background paper for the size of my card and sewed the punches in lines across the paper. To do this, I laid 3 punches on the paper at a time, sewed them in place and repeated to finish each row. You could glue the papers first if you want them to stay perfectly in place as you sew. When finished sewing, I trimmed the edges with scissors, then glued the paper to the blank greeting card.

I got inspiration for this card from the paper garland project at Design Sponge (written by guest blogger Lauren Normandin). She makes paper garland on the sewing machine and uses it as a ribbon to decorate gift boxes.


That is sooo pretty!!
