I'm sew wishing you a Happy Birthday Sewing Machine Card

Created this Clean & Simple CAS Birthday Card with idea in mind to use Tim Holtz Mini Blueprint stamp, Vintage Sewing Machine. Then I needed a sentiment and decided to go out of my comfort zone which I have been doing a bit of lately and create my own sentiment using Lawn Fawn Smitty's ABCs stamps & Docerela Creations "Happy Birthday" sentiment. I created the sentiment in 2 parts since there was only one "s" letter in the LF Smitty's ABCs stamp set.  
For a play on words 
I placed the letters I needed on my block to stamp:

I'm 
sew 

and I then stamped the next set of letters with the Docerela Creations "Happy Birthday":

wishing
   you
     a 
Happy  
Birthday

Used Kraft cardstock as base, white layer & gray layer.

Embossed the white layer with Cuttlebug Wedding Suite.
Stamped the TH Vintage Sewing Machine on right side of card. Added the sentiment layer which I stamped on a separate piece of white cardstock because I did not want to chance messing up the white layer with embossing & stamped TH Vintage Sewing Machine. Added a gray strip embossed with Cuttlebug Just My Type embossing folder that looked like sewing stitches to me.






















embossing: Cuttlebug Just My Type embossing folder
ink: Memento London Fog
paper: cardstock - Kraft, white, gray
stamp: Lawn Fawn Smitty's ABCs, Docerela Creations sentiment "Happy Birthday"
Tim Holtz: stamp - Mini Blueprints - Vintage Sewing Machine

    I love love love vintage sewing machines. I own one treddle machine and a couple table-top antique machines as well. I buy them up North and bring them back here to Las Vegas to sell. Trouble is, I end up keeping too many for myself. Great card! Thanks for sharing with us

      I have a sweing machine, not vintage, and I'm not good at threading it or sewing with it. I've been wanting to take a basic sewing class where you bring your own machine and they show you how to use it. When I mean basic I do not want to have to make an item but just learn how to thread, make bobbin & use the functions of it with fabric scraps so I;d not have to buy any good fabric and be frustrated that I have to make a project until I was ready after learning initial basics.
