How to make...
 
~ Using your pokey tool and piercing mat, pierce holes in each scallop.
~ Use the rose thread and sew a running stitch along the scallops. Use the blue thread to do the same stitch in the spaces left from the first set of stitches.
~ Cut the red dotty paper to 7"x7". Use the sanding tool to sand all the edges.
~ Ink the edges with the Worn Lipstick and also the scalloped edges.
~ Pierce holes down one side and stitch blue thread along this.
~ Glue to the card blank with the Collall so it is at an angle.
~ Cut the patterned paper to 6"x6". Sand the edges and ink with the Broken China. Pierce holes to the right hand side and use rose thread to sew a border.
~ Glue using the Collall over the red dot paper at an angle as shown.
~ Using the black ink stamp the tape measures onto red dot paper. Cut out, sand and ink the edges with Worn Lipstick.
~ Attach at the bottom to create a border. Roll one end over so you see the other decorated side. Attach the other stamped tape measure over lapping the first one.
~ Die-cut the Medallion from patterned card, and also the hearts, one large from patterned card and one large and one small from the fabric scrap.
~ Glue the hearts in the bottom right corner and top left corner as shown.
~ Use the Pinflair glue to attach the medallion at the end of the tape measure.
~ Stamp the button from the SEWING ROOM SET . Pierce 4 holes and add thread.
~ Glue to the centre of the medallion.
~ Stamp the dress makers dummy onto patterned paper using the embossing ink. Sprinkle with the clear embossing powder and melt with your heat gun. When cool, cut out carefully.  Ink the edges with the Worn Lipstick and curve it slightly with the bone folder.
~ Tie the Gingham ribbon around the base as shown. Use the Pinflair to attach it to the card blank so it is slightly raised.
~ Stamp the cotton reel onto the red dot paper using the Broken China ink. Cut out just the reel part and wrap rose thread around it, glue to the card as shown. Stick the  3 pearl head pins into the threaded spool.
~ Wrap the blue thread around the mini spool and glue next to the red one.
~ Thread the 3 heart buttons with blue thread and glue down the right hand side of the card.
~ Stamp the 'Friends' Sentiment onto the white card using Worn Lipstick ink. Cut the ends to points, use the chomper to round the two corners as shown. Ink the edges.
~ Stamp the running stitch and zig zag stitch along the top and bottom of the sentiment using Broken China ink. Matt onto blue paper, round the corners and ink edges as before. Cut the ends to points. Matt this onto red dot paper and round corners and ink edges again, cutting ends to match the others. Punch a hole in the middle of the points and thread the ribbon through, use silicon glue to attach to the card so it is raised.
~ To finish, add the pearls as shown.
