All of Ella's eBooks are fantastic, but I have to say that this one ranks up there in my top three favorites! You don't want to miss this one! I was inspired by Heather's Thank You card on page six. Before I had children, I dabbled in quilting with a sewing machine that my Mother-in-law picked up for me at a thrift store. I no longer have time for quilting, but I do love to sew on paper. When I saw Heather's card with details of sewing throughout, I knew I had to pull out my machine!

Instead of using squares, I turned to my circle punches.

The sizes I used for this card are as follows:

• 3/4"
• 1 1/8"
• 1 1/4"

For this card I mixed several of my favorite patterned papers. Punch your smallest circle first, then your medium and finally your large. Be sure and hold your punch upside down so that you can see what you are doing and get a perfectly thin circle. I used liquid glue to adhere my thin circle.

Next I lightly tacked my 3/4" circles with my mono adhesive. I stitched a straight stitch through all of the circles and then pulled up the sides of the 3/4" circle to add dimension and interest to my card. I added a birthday sentiment and I've got a simple card ready for giving!
