Stitched Ornament Christmas Card

Hello friends!  I hope your week is off to a good start!  Today I'm excited to share my card using the new Stitched Ornament from Spellbinders new Stitchmas Christmas collection!  My ornament is also removable to be used as a keepsake ornament to hang.  Check out the details below!

 First I die cut some Lagoon cardstock (links below) with the outline and stitching portion of the Stitched Ornament die.  I cut one more with just the outline die and set it aside for later.  I used all six strands of white DMC embroidery thread to add my stitches.  I just did basic stitching and made sure to always be stitching down into the center points of the sections.  I've had these pearl beads in my stash forever, and used two strands of the white thread to add several into the centers of the sections.

To finish up the ornament, I die cut the decorative ornament pieces from silver cardstock and adhered them to my ornament.  I tied some silver thread into a bow at the top.  Next I added glue to the extra die cut ornament and adhered it to the back of the stitched ornament and set it aside to dry.

For the card base I die cut more Lagoon cardstock with the two outer dies of the A2 Filigree Marquis die set.  I die cut the decorative center from white cardstock and adhered it to the blue filigree layer.  These were then adhered to an A2 card base.

I used my Glimmer Machine to silver foil the sentiment from the Gifts of Christmas Sentiments set.  I added a Lagoon mat layer and popped it up onto the card.

I wanted this ornament to be removable by the recipient so I added two removable glue dots to the back and adhered it to the card.

You could write the year and a message on the back of the ornament, or even use it alone as a gift tag!

Have you tried stitching dies?  I highly recommend them and you don't need any sewing skills at all to use them!  Thank you so much for stopping by!
