STITCHED AFFIRMATION CARDS XO

I covered an old box which once contained a watch 
I wanted somewhere nice to hold my affirmation cards I made for myself 
I love to read affirmations to remind myself to stay positive and on track.
I was pretty pleased with the result.
I am entering it into LESSology for their current challenge
A TRINKET BOX using something recylced 

I enjoyed creating this so much I made another one which I have posted on 
my ART & SOUL blog.





I created a bunch of  8 affirmation cards and tied them with a ribbon 

 I hand-stitched one dominant word on each affirmation card .

inside the lid of the box had some red velvet so I left 
part of that showing as I felt it complimented the paper .

thanks for dropping by and leaving me such beautiful words.
they make my day..
big hugz from me xo

  3. Wow, this is stunning!! Not only how you did it, but I so love the IDEA of it!!! Thank you for sharing this with us.

    Do you write your affirmations from scratch or do you have a source where you find some general ones? The idea of adding the stitching is inspired!!! Oh I would also love to know what papers you used, the colours are so yummy!
