TE April Key Ingredients Subscription Challenge!

It's time for the monthly Key Ingredients Subscription Challenge from Taylored Expressions!  If you're already a subscriber you may have already received your kit!  I {heart} this month's kit!  The kit this month features the Material Girl patterned paper from Cosmo Cricket along with lots of fun sewing themed embellishments! So what better thing to embellish your card than stitching! Use your sewing machine, hand-stitching, faux stitching somewhere on your card.

Also this month, get creative with your card base! Create an easel card, tent card, shaped card...basically anything but a standard A2 card!

 
I love making these easel cards, so it was an easy choice for me when I sat down to create!  My finished easel is 5x5.  You can find a great tutorial here.

I used a previously released set from Taylored Expressions called Crafty Cuppie.  While you don't need TE stamps to use this kit, they are a perfect compliment!!  I stamped Sewing Cuppie in Memento Tuxedo Black on Choice Buttercream, colored her in with Copics and cut her out with Classic Circle and Scallop Circle Nestabilities.  I also paper pieced the material she is sewing.  My favorite part of this card is that DARLING twill ribbon that comes in this kit and the bottom portion of my card!  I took the chipboard spool that comes with the kit, colored it with a Copic Marker and then wrapped some twine around it and threaded that twine through three of the many buttons that come with the kit!  I framed it around the sentiment, also from Crafty Cuppie!  So what do you think?

This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what you can make with this kit!  I have enough supplies left to make MANY more cards!  In fact, the KI kits have enough supplies to make approximately 16 cards!
