Hello Stampin’ Friends ~

Yesterday I shared a card from the NEW Hobby Haven Designer Series Paper— today I bring you another layout and paper pattern. This delightful collection brings your favorite pastimes to life—whether you love baking, sewing, reading, or simply enjoying the little things. Each sheet is filled with charming illustrations that practically beg to be turned into heartfelt cards, thoughtful tags, and adorable gift packaging. With two sheets of precut pieces (yay for quick crafting!) and tons of fussy-cutting possibilities, you can layer, pop up, and personalize to your heart’s content.

My color palette? An inviting mix of warm and cozy hues like Coastal Cabana and Early Espresso. It’s sweet, it’s whimsical, and and with so many different hobbies featured – you can create a special card like I have here. Perfect for the seamstress in the family or your beautiful friend who shares her creativity one stitch at a time!

I used a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the Hobby Haven designer paper as my backdrop … with the sewing of course. The vellum is used to tone down the designer paper but still let it shine through. I then fussy cut the sewing machine and the pin cushion. I die cut a circle (you can use any you have handy) mine comes from the Snowflake Kisses bundle.. this will be my focal point.

From the same bundle, I die cut the rectangle to stamp my greeting on because it looked like it was “stitched” around the edges. The “Thinking of You” comes from the Simply Said stamp set and conveys my intent when sending this special card. I layered this slightly of center from my focal point but added the pin cushion in to make the perfect grouping.

To complete my card, I added the cute “Dear Dots” embellishments and if you look closely, you’ll see that I turned them into little buttons with the help of my Stampin’ Blends! How cute is that!!

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my creation!
