Mock Stitching

I don't know about you but I love the look of stitching but I don't often pull out my sewing machine to stitch on a card or scrapbook page.  But if you love stitching there is another way.  Some of you may have done this technique before at one of my classes but if so It is always good to have reminders and that is what Monika did for me when she shared with card with me was remind me to use mock stitching again.  To achieve this look you run the perforating tool that is a part of the cutter kit #106958 and on page 191 of the main SU! catalog in a dark ink like Chocolate chip or black and then gently run it onto your card stock and you get a mock stitched look without having to pull out the sewing machine.  This card was created with the 3 heart punch, a couple of buttons and Stampin' Up! 's Define your life stamped set and the scallop edge punch.
