Just Wanted To Say... -- Spellbinders Stitching Die Of The Month

Happy Friday friends!  Today I'm sharing my fun card featuring Spellbinders March Stitching Die of the Month called Stitched Read & Sip!  If you've ever thought about trying a stitching die, this is a good one to try.  It has minimal stitching and would also be beautiful without any stitching!

All of Spellbinders monthly clubs, including the Stitching Dies of the Month have a window of time to enroll and receive that month's featured product.  This month's "window" is March 6-27.  The only time it might not be available is if the item has sold out for the month.  Also, you can cancel at any time.  Check out all of the specific details here.

I die cut the Stitched Read & Sip from purple, green, yellow, and neutral cardstocks.  All available cardstocks are linked in the list below.  I added a bit of shading to the cup and flowers with coordinating ink.

Then I used purple and green DMC embroidery floss for the quick stitching.  The thread on the book is one that I had in my stash that I saved years ago when I used to do counted cross-stitch a lot.

To adhere the stitched layers to the base layer, I just put glue on the back of the stitching and aligned it with the base piece.  It gives instant dimension!

I embossed a white cardstock panel with the Checkered Scallops embossing folder.  This is the March Embossing Folder of the Month.  I embossed all but about ¾" of the bottom edge of the panel.  Then I glued it to an A2 card base.

I adhered the Stitched Read & Sip elements to the card.  I added a sentiment from the Just Wanted to Say Glimmer set that I foiled with Fuchsia Flower Glimmer Foil.  For easy foiling I used Spellbinders Glimmer Specialty cardstock.

I hope I've inspired you today to try these fabulous stitching dies.  It's really fun and makes a very special and unique card to give.  Thank you for stopping by!

New Spellbinders Four Petals Collection

Today Spellbinders is releasing the gorgeous Four Petal Collection and my card features the Four Petal Blooms Reflection dies.  I have always loved die cut elements and this one is a beauty! 

I used a few different colored cardstocks (in the list below) by Spellbinders.  I have recently tried their cardstock and really love the quality and variety of colors.

After I die cut the various elements from the Four Petal Reflection set two times each, I used reverse tweezers and a pick up tool to glue everything together.  I used glue that has a fine tip and the one in the list is my most favorite that I use!  Using these tools really makes the assembly very easy.

The photo above shows the pieces as they are partially assembled.  I used a darker green Copic marker to color some of the leaves to create more interest.

I adhered both complete pieces to my card base.  The background layer of the card is 80# Neenah embossed with the Leafy 3D Embossing  Folder.

I used my Glimmer Hot Foil System to foil matte gold foil onto Fern cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Just Wanted to Say Glimmer set.  After I trimmed it into a strip, I popped it up on the card with a foam tape strip.  A few sparkly gem stickers adds some pretty bling to the card!

Be sure to check out the complete Four Petal Collection--there are so many beautiful products!  Thank you so much for stopping by!!!
