Since things have been "sew" hectic this week, I thought I'd share another publication reject with you. This was for a "Sew" Thankful call. Since sending it off, and having it declined, TAC (The Angel Company) went out of business, so I'm sorry to say that the stamps are no longer available, but I wanted to show the card anyway!
As you can see, this was created gatefold style. The belly band was made so that the focal piece could be used as a magnet after opening the card. I thought it turned out fairly cute...
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Monday should be back to normal. I'm looking forward to seeing your weekend creations!
Hugs and blessings, my friends...off I go - wish me luck!
Patti J.
I love your sew-full card! (hehehe sorry, I couldn't resist) But seriously, I love the gatefold design you used and the little keepsake magnet idea is so sweet. A lovely card!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it and hope you are having an lovely weekend! :)
I think this has to be one of my very favorite cards of yours. Sorry it was rejected! Darn, it's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWell, I think they were "sew" silly to pass this one up!! Love thae antique sewing maching and the design of the card as well as the magnet keepsake! Great ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh...I LOVE this! Again, what dorks for not taking it. LOL! Hope you have a great day today!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous card, Patti....love the fancy fold and the little dress form on the inside...it's their loss, for sure!!!
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! I have that set and I think I've only used it once. Enjoy your weekend and the show!
ReplyDeleteLoving your gatefold card Patti. Enjoy your weekend, the music is so fab in WS Story. x
ReplyDeleteI think it turned out quite cute too, Patti!
ReplyDeleteThis beauty is a winner in my book! Beautifully executed and designed.
ReplyDeleteI love it. It's a winner in my book!
ReplyDeleteAnother magnificent creation!
ReplyDeleteSew neat. I don't understand why that didn't get published - what were they thinking? Their loss is our gain. I really like the bellyband/magnet idea. I always have trouble getting gatefolds to close. Have a great time at West Side Story. I haven't been to the Fox in years.
ReplyDeleteHow creative you are! You know me, I love anything vintage and with a 'sew' awesome theme. Sounds like retirement isn't all about retiring to a chair and relaxing - hope you have fun this week-end and take time to relax on Monday!
ReplyDeleteSew beautiful, someone will be sew happy to receive this in the mail! Have a good w/e.
ReplyDeleteSending you lots of positive thoughts that your weekend is spectacular! I know you are going to do well.
ReplyDeleteI think your sew card is pretty-not a reject, their loss...lol
Hugs my friend

ReplyDeleteI love , love this card - who was crazy enough to reject it. Whoever it was they were just not thinking clearly.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! I love this card and the stamps! What a shame I can't buy them. Ha, ha. But so glad you have them and maybe I'll see more from them on your blog! I just love your work!
ReplyDeleteOoooh this is awesome Patti! Can't believe they didn't accept it!!! You just never know! Love the fun fold and the dress form inside!!! Sounds like you have a great weekend planned! Enjoy!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Grace
I love this...the sewing theme is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWhat's wrong with those magazine people anyway.....this is beautiful. So many beautiful details....rejection is tough, but we all got to see it and admire it!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the live performance and tell us all about it later.....

Wow Patti, what a fab card and gorgeous images (I hadn't heard that TAC had gone out of business, how sad)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a brilliant time at West Side Story!
It's fabulous! Love the fancy fold and great color combo. Keep submitting. I've had tons of rejects, but every now and then something gets picked up. You're awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great card!! Love it! Most of the time, rejection from a publication is not because your card isnt good... Just didt fit their need! Its a great card!! Xo
ReplyDeleteSo cute Patti! They were silly to not publish this one! I love the soft colors and the magnet part! TFS!
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine anyone rejecting this beautiful card!!! Shame on them!!! Their loss as far as I'm concerned. However, it sounds as though you still had a wonderful day and I'm happy to hear that!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe they didn't choose this, Patti! This is truly amazing! I think this is one of my all-time favorites of your cards. From the special fold to the interior decor, it's just so intricate, with so many sweet details. I really like how you used the neutral colors to give it that vintage feel, too. Absolutely amazing!
ReplyDeletei'm like the "sewing" stuff i've been seeing around - and i don't sew! this is just fabulous!
ReplyDeletehugs :)
Patti, your card is awesome and not a reject!!! It sounds like a wonderful day!!!
