My first sewn card!

Hello, to all of my talented and lovely blogger friends!

Today is Wednesday!

Time for a brand new challenge at

Freshly Brewed Challenges!

Our theme this week is

Buttons and Bows!

I'm very excited about sharing my card with you

because it's the very first card that I have sewn with my

sewing machine!

I made it a while ago for this particular challenge 

and I have actually 

posted some new stitched cards since I made this one.

However, this is my first sewn card.

This card is similar to a JOY FOLD

I used my fabulous

Fresh Brewed Designs

COFFEE TAKE ME AWAY stamp!

She is colored with copic markers and paper pieced.

This is a picture of the inside of the first flap.

This is the inside of the card when it is completely open.

In my mind when I was making it,

 (A long while ago) 

I was thinking that you could

 add pictures

to the inside of both sides for a nice keepsake.

Now when I look at it,

 I'm thinking it would have been 

nice if I added some pockets for gift cards, 

tags or pictures.

NEXT TIME!
