SuperJoy Loves Her SuperFriends Day – Sewing Card – Disney Princesses Happily Ever After
You say it’s your birthday!!!
Hey SuperFriends! I want to share this card I made for my Mother-in-Law. It’s her birthday today! Her super power is sewing, so I made her this card using the Disney Princesses Happily Ever After Cricut Cartridge for the scissors and the thread.
Disney Cricut cartridges can be hard to find, but here’s one called Dreams Come True!
I had to have these brads that I found at Michael’s and just knew that one day I’d have a need for them. Today was that day! Yes, I have a whole box of them…and I’m thrilled that I found a use for ONE. That’s a crafter for you. Am I right?
You know what that is? The inside of the card. Using my Gypsy, I welded 2 shapes from the Cricut Lite cartridge Sugar and Spice. I like the tiny holes I created with the weld because it sort of mimics sewing.
Sew…you know how I made that sentiment? Yep. I printed it out on my computer and punched it out using a Stampin Up punch that I bought. I love Stampin’ Up things. Just ask my friend Gale who I buy my Stampin Up stuff from. She’ll vouch for my love of the products, LOL! 😉
It’s sometimes hard to work with small, thin pieces of paper, like the thread and needle part. So, I used Zip Dry paper glue and it made things much easier. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you know that I heart Zip Dry Paper Glue. It’s made many appearances in different posts and videos that I’ve done. So, you won’t be at all surprised that I’m thrilled … like… I sang the Ahh ahh ahhh Ariel the mermaid song when I opened the box and tenderly lifted them out (a la Lion King…it was a whole Disney medley in my house). Anyway…I’m so THRILLED to announce that Beacon Adhesives donated today’s give-a-way of my favorite adhesive in the WORLD!!!
I’ll use Random.org to choose FOUR winners of Zip Dry Paper Glue generously donated by Beacon Adhesives! Thank you Beacon Adhesives!!
Ok SuperFriends! Just leave me a comment and I’ll draw FOUR winners for Zip Dry Paper Glue on Tuesday, August 17, 2010. After I hear from the winners, I’ll post them here.
Good luck SuperFriends!
And the WINNERS are:

I have never tried this glue but would love a chance. I am so glad that I found your site. Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh Joy i can’t believe that 2 days in a row I am number one again it must be a sign ….love the card… thank you for the giveaway vicky
You are to funny sometimes, love the card. My dtr wants me to teach her to sew. If only I could find the sewing machine from our move last year.
I’ve seen this adhesive and almost picked one up at the store but them put it back. If I dont win, I’m going shoppin! love the technique on making the card base using that weld feature. I’m still working on how to make that work.
I’m dieing to get my hands on this glue. Why haven’t I purchased it yet? I mean, really! Joy says something is good, we go and buy it. I think maybe there has been many more fun things recommended by Joy that topped our list. I’m sold that this must be a must have! Thanks Joy!
ALSO, I was completely unaware that I might need the Happily Ever After cart! Thanks for the realization that even though my girls are too old for this sort of thing that there is still a need for Disney Princess stuff. haha.
Love the card! Love getting ideas here!
Oh I just heart Zip Dry also, it’s awesome! That card is just sew adorable! Love her superpower, wish it was mine LOL. She’ll flip for the card!

Very cute card for your sewing MIL! You know I haven’t used this glue yet and need to give it a try! I tried Frabritac by Beacon when it first came out!
It was kinda stringy and slow to set up.
Cute card. Thanks for Beacon Adhesives’ generosity and all your fun. My 4 yo just asked if that’s “super girl” on the computer. He loves your SuperJoy image. Thinks you can fly. 😉
Hakuna Matata is my fave Disney tune and now it’s stuck in my head, thinking of you singing Ahh Ahh Ariel!
Thanks, ear worm (-:
Speaking of MIL, mine announced Tues that she’s coming for the weekend (driving 800 miles for the trip), so we’re in “oh-My-Gosh-the-queen-is-coming” mode! Never realized how dirty my house got til I heard she was coming!! (-: She’ll be here some time today!!

Sew nice of you to do this. Like this birthday card. Thank you.
love the card!! and I would love to sing like Ariel with you 🙂 zip dry is my favorite too 🙂
Joy, I really like everything about this card. The scallop edges but especially the 2 sided paper makes it just perfect. I am going to have to start using more 2 sided paper for cards.
Beautiful card! Thanks for sharing and for a great giveaway!
Thanks to Joy, I finally found it (the Ariel song went through my head as I saw it gleaming from the hook at the store.) It is the best glue I have used for paper projects. No curling, or lumps, or other various paper malfunctions you get from other glue’s. In fact, I may have to throw all the others out. Thanks Joy. Speaking of which I need another bottle. LOL The card is very cute. The amazing things that can be made with various carts., that one would not initially think of.
Really cute card! I would be interested in trying the Zip Dry! Thanks for the giveaway!
I so have to find that glue!!! I wish I would have found it before I made my kids autograph books for Disney! Love the card! If you don’t have anymore uses for that cart I’ll gladly take it off your hands LOL
Love your “Sew” card! I’ve never tried the Zip Dry glue … sounds like good stuff. Thanks for another great giveaway! 🙂
I am so glad I found you blog. Love the card. I too love to weld shaped so make cards.
I love your card, such a lovely idea for someone whose craft is sewing. Thanks for another great giveaway.
I love your card! I recently bought the Happily Ever After cart – we’re going to Disney in a month and thought it would be great for the Autograph book I am making for my boys. Plus, someday I hope to have a little girl.
I’ve never tried Zip Dry glue, but would love a chance to win some. Thanks for the giveaway!
That is a really cute card. She should love it. I’ve never tried the Zip Dry glue so I’d love to win it. I too have a hard time dealing with all those little skinny, tiny pieces that need to be glued on things. Thanks for sharing your creativity and the fun prizes too.
Super friend Kim logging in. lol What a great card – I too have those very same brads – and I will also find a great use for them someday.
