___________________________________
Today's challenge is all about sewing. Have you tried to sew on your cards? If you haven't, it's easy, fun and it looks great!
You may have noticed on my sidebar to the left, under tutorials, I have a series of tutorials on how to use the Janome sew-mini sewing machine with everything from threading the machine to setting the tension to stitching the day away!
Well today, I'm giving away a Janome sew-mini sewing machine as a blog candy prize! More about that in a minute.
Today's challenge is called "Sew-long 2008!"
All you have to do is add some sewing on your card. It doesn't have to be machine stitched. It can be hand stitched, something as simple as a button or you can quilt an entire card. You just need to add some thread!
Upload your card at splitcoaststampers and use keyword GINAKDEC31 so we can all see each other's creations!
For my card, I decided to "quilt" a panel as my focal image.
I used a patterned paper pack from K & Company and used a Marvy super jumbo square punch to punch a few pink and green squares. Then, I cut the squares on a diagonal and stitched them together onto a piece of pure luxury 80 lb. white card stock.
I hand-stitched a basic grey button onto the center. Maybe you didn't know it but if you have our paper piercer, unscrew the cap and you'll find a pack of needles hiding inside that are perfect for hand-stitching. I used mine to sew on all of my buttons.
I used a greeting from the stamp set "Many Happy Returns" that adds a cute "thank you" to any card with a sewing theme.
Win a brand new Janome Sew-Mini!
All of my zig-zag sewing was done on the Janome Sew-mini. I love this little machine. I used it to fix a pair of pants a couple of weeks ago and I use it to sew on my cards all the time. It's light and easy and it creates a beautiful stitch.
All you have to do is leave a comment here and I will randomly choose a winner for a Janome sew-mini sewing machine and announce the winner here on my blog on New Year's Day! I will also have a fabulous New Year's Day blog candy giveaway that you won't want to miss!
To see who won yesterday's Scor-pal giveaway, click here- Scor-pal winner
I hope you all have a wonderful New Year's eve. Please stay safe and I will see you back here tomorrow- 2009 for more challenge and blog candy fun!!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Wonderful pinwheel quilt square! I have to go upstairs to use my regular sewing machine on cards so having a Sew Mini would be fabulous. Thanks so much for the chance at one.

I hope your post inspires more stampers to give stitching a serious try! IMO, it can be temporarily 'addicting', and definitely adds a great texture & easy embellishment!
Reply to this
I would love to win a sewing machine and learn to sew on my cards. I see so many online with sewing on them and it adds a special touch to the cards.

I just got a sewing machine so uploading a card to SCS will be easy peasy. I love your quilted card.

What a pretty card! I love how the sewing ties with the quilting and the "sew" much. I would love to have a little sewing machine for cards. I have tried it on my full size one but it is a struggle!

I love this card Gina. You have done a wonderful job with the sewing and design. What an awesome blog candy gift!!! There is going to be one happy stamper out here starting off her New Year right. Have a wonderful New Year, I look forward to more fun ideas from you and your staff.

Oh Gina!!! What perfect timing for me! My old sewing machine just broke while my son was sewing pj pants for his sewing class! I would love to have a Janome Mini to sew on cards and maybe finish off the pjs!
Thanks!

I love your card Gina. The way you explain everything makes me think even I can do it. Would love to win the Janome Sew-Mini!!!!!!!!Thank you for all the beautiful design cards you come up with. I just can't wait to see what you come up with everyday and I love reading about your family and the exciting things in your life.

I've been thinking about trying out some sewing on my cards; keep putting it off though. Thanks for the encouragement and great ideas. Would love the little machine.
Reply to this
I love it...is that a machine just for paper? You did beautiful work sewing on that card. I might have to invest in one of those. I will have to add it to my long "want" list. Thanks for sharing so late at night while I can't sleep.

This is so generous of you! I would love to win this sewing machine!. I've had it on my wish list for months! Thank you for the chance to win one.
Reply to this
Great card! I love all the sewing. I usually sew by hand only because I dread the thought of dragging out my big machine. I should make "dragging out my big machine" a New Year's Resolution!!
Happy New Year, Gina!

You are "sew much fun and sew awesome" Gina. You are also "sew" generous. Love your card. Happy New Year!!!

What a gorgeous card and such a cute little sewing machine. I have never tried sewing on my cards, a bit intimidating to get out my big sewing machine to try it. Perhaps a smaller sewing machine would do the trick. Thanks for sharing.

I love your card! I'm a quilter, and I just love the look of sewn cards. I have been dying for one of these machines... please, oh please, oh please... lol
Reply to this
Oh my goodness!! What a wonderful generous giveaway you are doing. I have been doing some sewing on my cards, but it is such a hassle on the big machine, with this little "gem" sewing on cards would be a breeze. Your blog is a "Gem", such encouragement for all of us with your talent and sharing it all with your tutorials. Thank you.

Cute card with the button in the middle and the sewing! I would love to win the sewing machine...how cute!
Reply to this
What can I say!----Beautiful card and an unbelieveable give away. I haven't dared try sewing on my cards with my 30 yr old machine. It would eat them alive!
Reply to this
I have always loved the look of stitched cards but thought it would be too hard and time consuming....now you've made me want to give it a whirl....maybe I could...your card is so lovely, I'd really like to make something that is so pretty...
Reply to this
"Sew" it's the end of the year and you are "sew" generous with your giveaways. This one is "sew" great.
Reply to this
I LOVE your little quilt -- being a quilter, how could I not? I love the look of sewing on cards, but don't like having to get out my regular machine, so I usually end up faux stitching. Having a small machine would be fabulous.
Reply to this
Love the card---the colors, the sewing---it's wonderful. Would sure like to have a sewing machine.
Reply to this
show off! LOL!!
Reply to this
Great idea for a card or scrapbook layout. Count me in for a great give-away.
Reply to this
I am so intimidated by sewing on my cards! But I'm more than willing to try, and a Janome Sew Mini would be perfect to try with. I think I'll try hand stitching on a card tomorrow for this challenge. I have an idea brewing already!
Reply to this
Your card is 'sew' adorable! Sewing and quilting on a card, it doesn't get much better, A very pretty quilt square!! Thanks for the chance to win...
Reply to this
As always, you are so generous in everything you do! Happy New Year!
Reply to this
Your card looks hand quilted. What a beautiful technique. I would love to win the sewing machine so I could do the same!
Reply to this
I absolutely love this card. What a great way to "sew" up the new year. I must try this.
Reply to this
What a difference the stitching makes! I made a similar card a year ago without the stitching and it doesn't compare. Hope I win your very generous blog candy so I can stitch away on my cards and scrapbook pages! Happy New Year.
Reply to this
What a darling sewing machine; it would be an asset to anyone's craft room. I don't drag mine out often because of it's weight so this one would be perfect. Thanks for the chance to win one.
Reply to this
LOve your card. I see a lot of people using the stiching on cards, would love to win the machine so that I can sew also. Thanks for sharing
Reply to this
Gina this card is just beautiful. The colors are so pretty and love all the layers. I just love the stitching on a card. I've done some, but only by hand. I would love to be the lucky stamper to have this awesome sewing machine. Thanks so much for a chance at this fabulous giveaway.
Reply to this
WOW!! And I thought you meant "sew a straight line" not sew a patchwork quilt!! Beautiful...Now if I win that Mini sewing machine will it make "my" cards as pretty as yours??? lol Thanks for a chance to win one Barb S.

Love this card and haven't yet tried sewing, but I will now. Thanks for all your blog candy and chances to win!

Omigosh, I love this card! The quilting, the color palette, the sentiment, the cute l'il buttons ... oh, everything! One of my all-time-favorite Gina cards!
It would be a dream-come-true to win the Janome! I've wanted one forever ... but never could 'find' the $$ for it in the budget. A girl can dream, though!

Wow, what a beautiful card! You are so talented, and I never tire of admiring your work. I have wanted the Janome machine for ages, but never have bought one. Thanks for the chance to win one.
Reply to this
I wondered how people got the "stitching" look on their cards, and now I know that it IS actually stitched and not just stamped!
Your card is lovely...........I want to be just like you when I grow up..LOL
Wish I had known before SANTA came...........

Love the look of your card! I would love to win the Janome sew-mini as I've seen so many people write about it. Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome machine!!

That would be a great prize to win! I will have to do some hand stitching on my card, no access to a sewing machine
Your card looks fantastic! I can't wait to play tomorrow!
Reply to this
Wow, this is gorgeous Gina! Just like a real quilt. Love the patterns you chose, Sew beautiful!
Reply to this
Gina, I love this quilted-looking card you made. Instead of looking "heavy" as some "quilted" cards do, your card has light colors, beautiful combinations of colors, and eye-catching stitching. Nice job, Gina!
Reply to this
How delicate and sweet you've made your card! I've been wanting to try this for so long, but am so intimidated by my big 'ol heavy Singer sewing machine - LOL! It's great for making clothes, just not so sure about cards.
Reply to this
Your card is awesome! You are so talented! Thank you for the chance to win.
Reply to this
OH my, what a magnificent giveaway.
I have never sewed on a card before!
Actually I only have a small craft machine that only sews a straight stitch. No zig zags which are fun on projects. Great idea and sewing on your card. Have a beautiful day!
Reply to this
WOW! Gina, you are sooo generous! I would love to have one of those machines! Your card is beautiful! Good luck everyone! And, Happy New Year! Katie

Your card is beautiful. I remember when you posted your awesome tutorials on how to use the Janome sewing machine and how to sew on cards. I was so tempted to buy a machine but I can not sew to save my life so I never did. Maybe one day I will become brave enough to try.

Love the zig zag sewing on the card, and the lines are straight! Although my stamping supplies are in the basement, I keep the basic items upstairs so I can be near my son. Winning the sewing machine would be fun. There are so many times I wish I could add more sewing on a card.
Happy New Year.

I absolutely love the sewing I see on cards, but the thought of it just terrifies me. My mind goes back to 7th grade home ec. and these huge old sewing machines that were so hard to work. Maybe 2009 should be the year I overcome my fear and try sewing once again.

What a beautiful card- I am going to try a quilt card for Mom's birthday! I was a professional seamstress- I made clothes all the time for clients and YET I have difficulty sewing straight on cards- LOL! I do not know why because I can top stitch like a pro for clothes. It is one of the "iron"ies in life! Maybe this little sewing machine will help??? debb

I have wanted to try sewing on cards for the longest time. I've read your tutorials, but I've been afraid to try it on my big machine. I'm afraid I'll tear it up somehow, plus it's so big and bulky. This would be wonderful. I've heard so many good things about it! Thanks for the chance.....your card is Beautiful!

I loved the card. How wonderful to combine sewing and card making. I would love to have a sewing machine that would add so much to my card making fun. I had a great time yesterday at class and learned so much this would just add to my fun. We drove 2.5 hours and it was worth it all!! Thanks to Jessica and Gina for sharing their card making techniques.

How nice of you to give one away! I could really use a new machine. Mine is very rusted since it was in storage until recently. I have never tried to use it in my crafting, but have always wanted to. I am sitting here recovering from my wisdom tooth extraction. I don't know why I didn't wait until Friday to have it removed! No partying for me tonight!

I love the quilted look you did, and the colors are two of my favorites. Even if I didn't win the Janome machine, it's good to know that you recommend it! I've been looking for a recommendation and I trust yours. PS a friend and are were in Madison last week (in the fog and rain) and were saddened to see that your store was closed. Second time we did that. But, we'll get there someday when you ARE open. Looking forward to it, too.

I neeeeed this machine. If I can't win one, then @ least let my husband find a job this year. If no job then I'll need the sewing machine to fix up all their clothes. Happy New Year!!!!

That card is beautiful, Gina. I finally found time to finish the card challenge for yesterday and am working on the one for today. I will upload to Splitcoast as soon as I finish! I would love to win this sweing machine because I won't drag out my big machine to sew on a card! I embroidered on the card that I am uploading tonight!

I've hesitated to use a sewing machine, but I think with the sew-mini and your tutorials, I might be able to do it. Thanks for a chance to win.

Oh Gina, if there's anything I've wanted to win, it's THIS! I have tried sewing a few times, but have to take my projects upstairs where my big size sewing machine is, so I hardly ever do it. Since I just have a new stamp room, this would be perfect to add so that I can sew any time I want! Thanks for the chance to win!

Wow, I love that quilted card and want to make more. I bought a "cheap" used machine at a garage sale and I got what I paid for. Someday I've got to have the Janome. Thanks for showing your wonderful work and all your blog candy. It is very generous of you. Loads of New Year Hugs.

I love your card. I have seen a lot of cards with sewing and they looked great. I would love the chance to win, so I could try sewing on my cards!

I just love what you have done with the sewing machine and I want one---really bad. My friends get a kick out of me because I hand sew on my cards, all the time. Just imagine what I could do with a machine

Your stitched card is beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity to win the sewing machine - I would love to try stitching on my cards if I am the lucky winner! Thank you - Mary

I would *love* a mini sewing machine! I have a big machine but it is such a pain to pull out to use. I love to stitch on my projects - it adds such a nice touch. =) Pick me please!

I do sew but I don't sew on cards as often as I'd like because my sewing machine is downstairs. It would be so awesome to have a small one in my craft room
Reply to this
Looking forward to all of you posts in 2009! It would be "sew" wonderful to win the mini sewing machine!! Thanks Gina!!
Reply to this
Oh, a sew-mini!! COOL! Maybe I'll win this since I didn't win the Scor-Pal!

What a beautiful card! I'd love to try it! Have a wonderful New Year.

I would so much like to win the sewing machine, it would be so much easier to sew on my cards. Right now I have to dig out my old 1970's Sears edition. I weighs a ton and then I have to put it back. I love your blog, it's the first one I hit when I come home from work. Keep up the great work.

The sewing on your cards just adds that extra "oomph" to the look!

I've only ever done faux stitching, so winning a machine would be awesome! Thanks for the chance!

Love the look of quilts! I've been dying to try the stitching on paper but so far have only been able to do the hand stitching! I would love to win this blog candy!

Love the quilted card, Gina. A mini sewing machine would be very handy to use in my tiny crafting space.
Thanks for all you do to teach and inspire
us. Hope your New Year brings continued success.

I really like the quilted look on this card, and your patterned paper looks so much like real fabric. I plan to try this soon. Thanks for the chance to win the sew-mini. Happy New Year!

Gina, your card is soooo cute. I used to sew but haven't in years. A cute little machine...that might entice me to sew on cards. : )

I have always wanted to try sewing on a card, but haven't broke out the needle and thread yet. I also haven't spent the money to buy a machine for this purpose...thanks for a chance to win! Happy New Year!

Gina, your cards are always so beautiful! And your blog candy has been amazing all week so far.

Love your card!! I've been wanting to try the sewing on my cards for so long. I see so many great cards with stitches. I'm just too lazy to lug out my big sewing machine!! LOL No room for it either. Love the colors on your card, the quilting, just so fun!!
Reply to this
Wow! Another darling card! No room for the BIG machine - a little one would do wonders!! Thanks for the opportunity!
Reply to this
Oh, I have the perfect spot for this in my newly organized craft room. I've been wanting one for quite awhile...pretty much since you did your tutorials on using it.

Love this card! The colors are beautiful and the stitching is perfect. Reminds me of the quilts that my grandmother made years ago. Thanks for the memories!

I have been wanting one of these for a LONG time!!!!!! Thanks, Gina!

This prize is fabulous. I would love to have this mini machine in my scraping area. This way I wouldn't have to keep running up two flights to my sewing room to use my big machine.
Thanks,

What blog candy!! Thanks for the chance to win the Janome sewing machine. Sewing adds a great touch to lots of cards I've received and I have used the faux method. Your card is wonderful.

What a difference stitching makes...It just brings out the best in the card and papers. Happy New Years, to everyone...

Oh, I love this card! I'd love to win the Janome machine. I love the look of sewing on cards, but I usually just do the faux stitching with a white gel pen because it's so much bother to lug out my big machine. Happy New Year, Gina!!!

Gina that card is GORGEOUS!! Such pretty colors & patterns - it truly looks like a quilt!

I have never tried sewing on my cards other than faux stitching. I love your card. That basic grey paper is fabulous. Thanks for the chance to win the mini sewing machine, I would love to try it on some cards!
Reply to this
I loved your quilted card. I love making cards and would like to try quilting but don't have the time to devote to that. Combining "quilting" with card making would be perfect. Since my stamping space is limited, winning a Janome sew-mini machine would be great.

Beautiful card! Thank YOU "sew" much for the chance to win the Janome! Happy 2009!

How cute is this! I quilt and sew as well and not sure how I missed this cutie. Good luck to all. Happy New Year and God Bless!

Your card is just darling and how great it would be to win a tiny little machine to do my cards rather then hauling out a my huge heavy machine.

This is exactly what I need...a sewing machine. Oh, I wish! My ol' machine expired awhile ago so I've never sewed a card and have to do all my hemming by hand. And I'd love to try any type of sewing challenge.
