My mom's birthday is the end of this month (April 29th). I plan to give her some money to buy a new pair of jeans.
I have sewn an incredibly tiny pair of jeans (the button is a mini brad) to embellish a birthday card with. I never use embellishments, so I need some ideas what to do with it.
Your embellishment sounds adorable!! I think I would use it in the upper center of the card with a sentiment underneath and the money tucked in the jeans. Maybe a card from Kraft paper as the base??
Wow, that's amazing that you made tiny jeans!! What if you did a layered card with "jeans" type paper and make the tiny jeans the centerpiece and decorate the sides with buttons or something....not sure if you can picture this or not...here's a really rough draft of a layout..you could angle the jeans, etc.
You could hang the jeans on a clothesline made from piece of twine with some of those tiny pegs.
If you used an A5 card (A4 folded in half) in landscape, you might have a long enough clothesline to hang a greeting on 'hankies' or something really silly like t-shirts undies and bras (one letter or word to an item).

A gatefold card, looking like a wardrobe, with the jeans inside hanging on a mini coat hanger; "Thought you could use something new for your wardrobe" could be in the greeting.
I love making quirky, personalised cards that bear no resemblance to anything you'd find in a shop and are more like works of multimedia art. But you can probably tell that :oops:

Embellishment in search of a card
