The January 2024 Stitching Die of The Month is this adorable bee!  This die set also includes flower dies to use in your card design!

You may notice that the flowers I used on my card are not the ones included in the set.  Well, I'll share my duh moment with you, but don't tell!  I somehow misplaced the entire set after I die cut the bee pieces.  It wasn't until after I had finished the entire card with other flowers (from the Bee Bold Blooms set) that I found it buried under some other random things!

I'm happy to say that inspired me to get my mess cleaned up!  LOL!  I decided to make my bee in some lovely pink colors, instead of the expected black and yellow.  I did some simple straight stitches and added a few French knots in the center of the stitches that look like flowers.  I used 6 strands for my stitching with DMC 3326 and DMC B5200.  I used two strands of DMC D5200 for the wings.

I die cut two panels from the Nested Notched Corner Frames dies for my card layers.  The sentiment is hot foiled (from a set I just discovered has been retired).  There are many sentiments that would work with this card!

Stitching dies really are fun and if you have not tried them, I would encourage you to try!  It's very basic stitching that is very easy to learn.  Of course, these dies are just a beautiful used without stitching!

Thank you for stopping by today!  I hope you have a wonderful week filled with lots of crafty fun!
