Kintsugi Diorama cards with tutorial

Hello,
Here is a diorama card I made using the Kintsugi Suite, including the Inspired Imperfections bundle, Inspired Imperfections Decorative Series Paper (DSP) and Gold foil Specialty Sheets.   
I love the concept of Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the pieces with lacquer mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum, a technique that highlights the cracks rather than concealing them. 
Also known as kintsukuroi or "golden joinery," it transforms a broken object into something unique and beautiful, celebrating its history and flaws as a symbol of resilience and beauty in imperfection.  
Here is the card front:
Here is the card opened, showing the vase in a diorama.
And here is the card from the top so you see how the diorama works.
Here is another card using another vase.
Here are the ingredients you need to make this card, including measurements.



Here is a video tutorial showing you how to make this card yourself.

Sewing the Gathering Moments dies, Embossing with dies, and Threading a needle with Linen Thread

Hello,
I couldn't wait to sew the special dies from the Gathering Moments suite. The large leaves dies have holes to sew using the Old Olive and Early Espresso Linen Thread, and I saw another post where someone used a marker to "connect the dots," instead of sewing. I may try that one too.


After sewing lots of leaves, I made a variety of cards using the dies to emboss the background behind the sewn leaves and I added the Gold Open Weave Trim between the leaves and background.


 










How did I thread my needle to sew? I folded a piece of copy paper at an angle to make a triangle.

I laid the linen thread along the fold.


Then, I re-folded the paper, with a bit of the thread sticking out.


Then, I slipped the paper and thread through the large eye needle.

And then pulled the thread into eye of the needle. I'm ready to sew!!

Need for Tweed cards

 
Hello,

You know I love to make the most of one sheet of DSP.  I was able to make a total of 16 different cards using one 4" X 5-14" for each card.
8 of the cards, including the flap, using the leftover strip from cutting the DSP to 5-1/4". 
Here they are showing the front and with the flap opened. 
AND the other 8 were ones that look like cardigans using the All Zipped Up bundle. This time I covered the zipper part of the dies.

They are different than the cardigans I made before, here is the link to that previous blog post:  https://sharonitwithyou.blogspot.com/2025/07/all-zipped-up.html
