I made this for the JustRite Stampin' Champion Contest! I've always wanted to take a simple sewing kit and alter it.... so I did! I picked up the plastic tin at the dollar store! I thought about sewing words that I could adorn it with using my Monogram Stamper! I actually used the classic wood stamper with the special occassions font with the small letters set. I love the mix of the print with the cursive style letters that I used for the word "sew" I stamped both individually and then used a 1-1/4" punch to cut out the word sew. I punched two little holes for my safety pin that was embellished with some brown gingham ribbon, layered it up with foam tape, matted this piece on a scalloped circle shape that I cut with my scalloped circle Nestabilities. The rest is just covering the box with paper, adding a decorative edge with my Martha Stewart punch, sponge some ink on, add some self adhesive pearls and... done with the outside!
The inside was embellished with some coordinating decorative paper and some stamped images from the Sew Special set from Crafty Secrets!
