Greetings and welcome to the JustRite Mega March Blog Hop. I have a small project to share with you today using the Stitched with Love Set (my very favorite JustRite set)! I’m always looking for gift items so I decided to pull together some needle cases as a gift item. So you’re probably asking what a needle case is. Well, it’s a little wallet type of accessory that you can put pins, needles and thread in. Since I carry my cardmaking stuff around with me to different rooms and sometimes when I’m on the run . . . I thought this would be nice to have along to thread buttons.
I made several trial cases before I got the gist of what I wanted to do. I have a Sizzix Card Box Die that I thought would be perfect to hold the needle case, so I designed both pieces to match and the case fits right inside :-) Both the Card Box and the Needle case are covered with fabric then embellished. For the inside of the needle case I cut felt with Spellbinders Long Scalloped Rectangles SM then sewed them end to end and secured them inside the needle case.
Here’s a picture that shows the boxes and the inside of one needle case and the outside of the other.
Here’s the outside of the second needle case and box.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
This is beautiful Becca! TFS
How elegant! You have such a knack for putting together the right colours and embellies. I love the vellum layer to soften the background. It really make the front embellies show up so nicely.
Thanks for sharing! :o)
This is beautiful! You inspire me to use pearls more often for embellishments.
Absolutely GORGEOUS! Your cards are very inspiring! I’ve started using pearls because of you, too!
Pretty card! Very elegant!
Beautiful card- even without ribbon! Love it!
NO RIBBON??? The card is BEAUTIFUL. You are such an inspiration!
I am really a scraper but I admire your cards everyday. They give inspiration! Thanks for the beauty.
no ribbon, what up? oh, i see a faux ribbon, close but no cigar. no really this is so pretty. i love how you combined pretties. i just love seeing what you come up with all the time. i don’t know how you can remember where the stuff comes from or what punch is what. my shopping list would be soo much smaller if you didn’t have so many great uses and cute ways to improve upon the basics. thanks for sharing all of your cards.
AMEN!!! Your design is gorgeous Becca, it stands on its own, no need for ribbon!
You are so creative with all of your card ideas.
Very elegant and pretty! Thanks for so much inspiration and fun this week, Becca!
I’m sure there is a better word than “card” for your works of art! I would plaster them all over my craft room if I had them! They are always an inspiration and so lovely!
Just love it, you are a girl after my own heart with the pearls. I can never put enough on. Glad I don’t live near a pearl factory.
Becca,
Another stunner.
Have a wonderful weekend girlfriend

Amazing Paper Grace! You are such an inspiration to all of us. Just maybe I could copy this card since I don’t have a ribbon to contend with. God bless and have a great day.
This is exquisite, Becca, as always…God Bless…

This beautiful……thank you for sharing..
Beautiful Beautiful!! Love the calmness of the colors
Lovely card! I love the way the Happy Easter Blessings comes through the vellum.
Such a beautiful card; love the elegance of the dies and pearls; the vellum adds such a soft, subtle touch. Gorgeous!!!
Your work is so amazing! It makes me want to buy everything you use even though I know I will never use it myself. Thanks for so freely sharing your talent and creativity.
Gorgeous, Becca! I love the way you used those dies!
Another gorgeous card- you have a fabuous eye for color and love the layout and LOVE the Vellum layer- so soft and elegant!
Becca, this card is beautiful. I love it. I will have to buy that cuttlebug ornamental die.
Another beautiful card…those embellishments seem to be made for each other. One of my many blessings that I thank God for is that I’m spared headaches…very rarely do I have one. Good genes, I guess. I know others who suffer migraines (which is more than a headache, I understand), and I’m glad you’re feeling better. Take good care of yourself.
you never cease to amaze!
Becca as usual – This is stunning. Love the embellishments
Becca, I am happy to see you are feeling better. The card is awesome. As always, the attention to detail is amazing. I particularly like the verse. VERY beautiful.
PS…after going back and admiring your card again, I noticed the stitching. Thanks to you and the ladys over at the Justrite blog, I finally broke out my expensive sewing machine and stitched some paper last night. I a m in awe what this does to the card. Now to explain to the hubby why I am sewing paper and not clothing. LOL…
Glad you’re feeling better, Becca! Wow, does anyone have more dies or punches than you??? I don’t believe so — and you always know just the perfect ways to combine them! Gorgeous card!!!
Another gorgeous card Becca. I look forward to seeing each new creation and they never disappoint – but I always seem to add another craft item to my wishlist …. that’s 2 more today!!!
Glad you’re feelimg better. tfs

OMG! No ribbon! She is ill. LOL. I’m glad your feeling better. Stunning card as always.
Lovely Becca!
Hugs, Candy
Hi Becca, Stunning card, no surprize there. I know you work very hard at putting these treasures together.
Thank you for taking the time to share with us, PattyC.
It gorgeous Becca. Those die cuts are just wonderful. No ribbon! I hope that wasn’t to difficult for you LOL!!! I think the dainty scroll work stands alone by itself just perfectly, and the pearls add a nice finishing touch. As always TFS!!! :-D
Becca
Absolutely beautiful . . . as always!
Thx
What a neat idea to have vellum over the stamped words and the die are terrific. I like ideas of flourishes that are flat for mailing. Thanks, Becca.
GORGEOUS, Becca!!!
I love the way the you have placed the banding on the card over and under the flourish. Great color combination too. Love this card.
Nicely done!
Loverly…..
That cuttlebug ornamental iron die is just as pretty as if you’d used ribbon! I love it! Just another fabulous card. I so love checking your blog for inspiration, but also when I just need to see some beauty.
Wow – so dramatic! I was not aware of the ornamental iron die and will now look for it….so striking!
Beee-you-tee-ful
Even though there’s no ribbon, it still looks like a Becca card! Very lovely. I’ve most of what you used here, how come mine never look like this? LOL!
R/
With all the frilliness, I completely missed the lack of ribbon! Now if it was missing ribbon AND pearls. . . . !!!
I just love the dies that you used. You always find so many unique ways to use products. I LOVE this card!!
Thank you so much!!
