Congratulations! You did it!

August is always a good month to make 'Congratulations on passing your exams' cards. I've been busy making a few, and here are two of my favourites.


I have seen this denim-effect paper being used a lot recently and was keen to use it myself. This particular paper is called Denim Paper, and it's made by Crate Paper. The 'stitching' was created using a white gel pen.

This one is a little bit different, but I still like it. I'm clearing out our study at the moment, and came across a huge box of old school note books and folders. I used some of the handouts and worksheets on this card!

  1. Your stitches are so straight and consistent in size! How ever do you do that?

  2. Thanks for your lovely comments. I found that using a ruler actually made it harder to do the stitching becuase it made the ink smudge, so now I just do it free-hand. I try to keep an even gap between the edge of the paper and the stich-line, and I keep moving the paper so that I am always going from left to right.
