Susan says: "Try stitching straight lines on a card and accenting the stitch lines with a mini rhinestone brad at each end. The stitch lines on my card radiate from my greeting in order to add emphasis to that part of the card."

So pretty and I definitely want try my own stitched rays accented with brads. Here's another great sketch from Design Team member Martha...

Supplies: Remarks Thoughtful Phrase Stickers (42667) -Elements Letterbox Buttons (85497) - Letterbox Response pp (35028) - Letterbox Warm Wishes pp (35007) -Letterbox Madam pp (35025) - Letterbox Signed pp (35024) - Cardstock Butter (71040)

Martha says: "When I received the Letterbox line of pp the first thing I thought was that they looked like gorgeous vintage fabrics! I layered strips of paper on the card and sewed around the edge to give the effect of a quilt, the cute little Letterbox buttons in the corners carry the sewing theme through and give extra dimension. The Thoughtful Remarks sticker is backed with cardstock and adhered with foam pop dots."
