Getting Started On Christmas Cards -- Stitching and Embossing

Hello!  Today I am sharing my card that features two of Spellbinders July Club Kits.  I've used the Stitching Die of the Month along with the Embossing Folder of the Month and am happy to have a card to add to my Christmas card stash for later this year!

To get started, first I die cut the Stitching Die (called Stitched All Wrapped Up) pieces from teal green cardstock.  Then I stitched the pieces with Diamante Grande silver thread.

Have you stitched with metallic thread and found it difficult to work with?  I thought of adding tape runner to the back of the piece being stitched and as I made the stitches, I pressed the thread into the adhesive on the back!  Maybe you've thought of this, but I just now did!  This worked great to keep that fiddly thread in place!  It looked like this:

When I was finished stitching, I adhere the bow pieces together with glue.  Next I embossed white cardstock with the Embossing Folder of the Month, Hexi Snowflake.  I trimmed it to A2 size and glued it to a card base.

The sentiment is hot foiled in silver and is from the Wonderful Winter Sentiments Glimmer set.  I added some silver metallic pearls for a bit more shine!

Be sure to check out more of Spellbinders Club Kits to see if you would like to try one--they can be cancelled at any time!  Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you have lots of crafty fun this week!
