Embroidery Hoop Art

T.G.I.F! In case you didn't get a chance to check out my embroidery hoop art project on SEI Lifestyle last week, I'll share them here with you today. With a couple simple wood embroidery hoops, the May Cardmaking kit from SEI and a few butterfly dies, I was able to create this fun little decor set. 

I love the combination of colors and patterns in this month's kit, how about you?

Today on the SEI blog I have another project using the May kit, a couple cards. Here's a peek at one.

Hope you have a great weekend and that it includes a little creative fun! 

Congratulations

Hello! Today I have a couple congratulations cards to share with you created with SEI's May Cardmaking kit. These were posted on SEI Lifestyle last week and again here in case you missed seeing them. Tis the season for graduations and weddings so I created congrats cards for both occasions.

I love the combination of patterns and foiled details in these papers and the gorgeous flower brads included in this month's kit! 

This congrats design could be used for a work promotion as well as a graduation card.

I created lots of die cut circles and then play with them until I liked the combination. 

This week on SEI Lifestyle I have a fun and easy home decor project I created with this month's kit. 

Here's a little peek for you. To see the entire project, click here.

Butterfly Straws

Tis the season for bridal and baby showers, picnics and barbecues! To give your next event a handmade touch, I have an super easy craft project to share with you...butterfly straws created with SEI's May Cardmaking Kit.

Using an array of pretty patterned papers included in May's kit, I die cut a bunch of butterflies. You can use punches, thin metal dies or an electronic cutter. 

I attached the butterflies with a tiny dab of craft glue. You could also use small craft dots. 

Arrange them in a vintage ball jar or pretty little vase. 

Layer a couple die cut tags, top with another butterfly and tie onto jar with a bit of jute for a pretty little centerpiece. It's that easy! 

This week on the SEI Lifestyle blog I have another project to share using the May kit. Hope you have a chance to take a look.

Hope today is a good one! :)
