New Challenge #70 at Glitter n Sparkle

Hi everyone

Yep Sunday again,
and I'm still waiting for my Nephew 
it now official he's over cooking lol,
my poor Sister-in-law.

This week because of the Theme, 
I though I would make myself a little Sewing Box 
to hold all the little nick-nacks 
that we all seem to accumulate for sewing.

Anyway here is my project for this week:-

The Theme at Glitter n

Sparkle is:-

Use Buttons

My project for this week is:-

Pincushion with Thimble digi stamp 

from Digi Darla (one of our sponsors)

I used a Template for a Chest Box 
(Templates & More - Dreamees),
which I cut out of Cream Pearlised Card
(Ross Papers)
and assembled.

I then used Small Rose Paper, 
(Damask Rose Designer Paper Collection - 

exclusive to "Cardmaking & Papercrafting)
which I cut to fit inside all the surfaces
of the Chest.

I coloured in my Image using 

my Promarker Pens.

Using the second Smallest Die
of the Rectangle Parenthesis 2 (5 pk)
(X-Cut)
Die-Cut out my Image.
I then cut out the centre of the Pin Cushion
and using a scrap of Purple Material
Placed it behind the Image and
padded it out with Wadding
(and boy did I have fun sticking this on the lid, lol).

Using 3cm wide Cream Lace
(stash)
I wrapped it around the bottom of all 
of the side pieces of Rose Paper, 
before sticking them on the Chest.

To make the Needle and Pins more realistic,
I added Holographic Silver Glitter
(Glitter Magic)
and Self-adhesive Flat-backed Pearls
(stash)
to the ends of the Pins.

I then added a Self-adhesive Paper Button Boarder
(stash)
around the edge of the Lid
and Hand-made a Bow out of a 
piece of Cream Satin Ribbon
(stash)
for the side of the Chest.

And finally I added a collection of Buttons 
to the Lid at the bottom of the Image
(All buttons from my Sewing Kit).

Its been a very waiting week,
I'm waiting for my Nephew to make his appearance,

My project for this week is:-

Brr Yodi digi stamp 

from Scribbles Designs (one of our sponsors)

For my base card I used a pre-cut White Square

which I had in my scrap box. 
I cut it into 1 inch Strips to fit around the 
outside frame of the card.

(stash)
which was also in my scrap box, 
and cut to fit the Right hand edge of the

I cut out 2 Squares, 

to fit the Swing Centre front and back.

I then coloured in my Image using 

my Promarker Pens.

And cut it to fit inside the Black Square.

For my sentiment I thought I would choose 
a Quote from Yoda (Starwars),
which would go with a Happy Birthday for a Male.
I then typed it out using 
Troutkings BTN font in blue.
Which I then cut to fit inside the 
remaining Black Square.

For my stitching,
I did Faux around my Digi image 
with Promaker Cornflower.
And I Pierced 2 rows in 5mm intervals

Criss-crossed it all the way down the pierced holes.

I then coloured in my Image using 

my Promarker Pens.

Promarkers, and Die-Cut out using

around the corner of the card 

on top of the Bronze paper.

Then handmade a Bow 

from the same lace and placed it 

at the corner of the 'Window'.

And in the middle of them put 1 Bronze
