Oh, this is a fun challenge from Shopping our Stash this week - hide & seek!
use a hidden element on your project (tag in a pocket, a picture of someone playing Hide & Seek, a pull tab that reveals a message, etc.)
I am just in love with how my card turned out - I love it when the final project matches the idea I had in my head!
Supplies: SO MUCH STASH! Cuttlebug embossing folder (maybe used once before?); buttons, lace, doily, K&Co die cut elements; Tim Holtz design ruler & embroidery supplies; glassine bag & pink clothespin from the lovely Amy Tsuruta
The scrap of patterned paper I used had stitched elements, so I began by using those as a template to add purple stitching along the left-hand side. I tried to do some random-ish crazy stitching as you can see - that took forever and still ended up having a discernible pattern, but I loves it. I stitched the lace in place, and added the doily to the glassine bag to help cover up the adhesive. I then stitched the buttons on top - stitching through lace, glassine, and two layers of card stock. My fingers!
Finally I used the little clothespin to attach the "smitten" tag to the "I love you" tag, some foam tape to stick those onto the glassine bag, and omg I love it. The "10 reasons I love you" card is just waiting to be filled in for the recipient.
So now that I'm done patting myself on the back (no I'm not, lol) why don't you check out how the other SOS gals interpreted the Hide & Seek theme?
