This is the final episode of my Crafting with You Series, number 4 of 4 and I have a fun fold which springs up. It can still fold flat to put in an envelop for posting, but it will spring up if not held down. You’ll see what I mean in the video – it’s a bit hard to explain in words!
The die that cuts the embroidery hoop also cuts out a stitched circle and separates the hoop from the circle piece. This enables you to add colour to the hoop with a blending brush. By masking the hoop part, you can use a blending brush to add smoky slate on the screw part. Then mask the screw and colour the rest of the hoop in Pecan Pie, one of the new core colours in the Neutrals collection.
In the first photo, the card is lying flat. The middle photo shows you the basket of wool which I adhered to one of the springs inside the card base. A view from the top in the third photo shows you how the springs are made and attached.
