Sew-Easy Tool

This card was made using the head that comes with the tool. Such a simple idea but yet very effective.

This can be done in yellow and representing the sun and its rays on a beach layout, a day in the park etc.

Sew-easy Tool and Water Distressed Flower

Here is another layout I did using the sew-easy tool. I used a plate that I sat on the cardstock and only used the plate as a guide. I ran the edge of the tool around the circumference of the plate. Then I did running stitch through the holes.

Once again you can see my water-distressed flower on the layout.

Easy-Sew Tool Layout

If you are not into sewing then you don't have to use this tool with needle and thread. I ran the tool along a piece of cardstock on the backside and then used Tim Holtz Distress Ink to highlight the raised parts of the pattern on the right side. I then used Chrystallina Kindy Glitz to add a bit of bling to the inked edge.

There is that water-distressed flower again in blue. You will see a lot of these featuring in layouts and cards. I went mad with them and have done several lessons for groups using the technique.

Sew-Easy Tool

I have used the head that comes with the tool to do the stems of the flowers. I have used 6 strands of embroidery floss to do BACKSTITCH. I do the piercing on the back of the patterned paper because I think it gives a deeper pierce.

The flowers are made using SALT cardstock which is a nice thickness to make these flowers. Here is the link on Rose-Anne's blog to show you how to make them. Water Paint Distressed Flowers
