Sew Easy Cards

Im trying out my new tool, the Sew Easy from We R Memory Keepers. I bought my own floss at Michael's and started piercing.  I love that the tool swivels for different patterns. Making straight pierces is not a problem but be careful when you want to curve, because sometimes you can push too hard or to soft and the holes get messy.  I guess like anything else it takes a bit of practice.  Each piercing head can do 3 different patterns so be sure to download the guide so you can see what the stitches are.  I'm really thankful for that guide since I had no clue how to make the stitches once the holes were pierced.  I'll be practicing some more this weekend but here are two cards I have managed to complete.

wow.. 8 1/2 x 11 die cut and embosser by Spellbinders

This is an interesting one Spellbinders fans . I stumbled on a video here. Take a look.  I think it's great but I want to see more before I decide to get it. I do love that I can use larger paper. The new grand die cuts are a bit too expensive but the machine has possibilities. shhhh don't tell my husband.

Its finally here....new light studio

I have been researching this topic for a long time and never seemed to make up my mind.  I put if off by making my own light box from a card board box and tissue paper, but  that only lasted a few weeks before the paper tore.  I finally broke down and ordered one after seeing a post on Amazing Paper Grace. Becca showed a picture of this tent so I decided to be enabled and purchase it. It is very big.  This is the one I bought OBN. It came with 4 back drops even thought the description only said black and white.  I thought of getting a smaller one but then, I know I would make a layout and regret not getting the larger tent. Here is a pic for you to see how large it is and the lights are huge too.
