Floral Card For A Special Friend With Simple Stitching

Hello crafty friends!  Are you loving Honey Bee Stamps' new Maker's Mix release?  What are your favorites?  Today I'm sharing my card featuring the In Stitches: Daisy with a simple stitch that even a beginner can do!

I began by die cutting green and white cardstock with the In Stitches: Daisy dies.  I used a few Copic markers to color the flower petals and center.  Then I used coordinating DMC embroidery floss to stitch each piece with a simple back stitch.  There are lots of instructions on the web to see how to do this stitch.

I used glue to adhere the Daisy layers and set it aside to dry.

Next I used Lovely Layers: Circle Embroidery Hoops set and die cut the hoop, cloth and larger cross stitch insert from white cardstock.  I die cut two more hoops and cut out the center portion of each with a circle.  I used glue to adhere the layers together.  Then I colored the top layer with a couple brown Copic markers.

I added patterned paper from the "FREEBEE" cardstock pack to an A2 card base.  I glued the Circle Embroidery layers to the card.  (This cardstock pack is free with a qualifying $100 or more purchase, while supplies last.)

Then I stamped two sentiments from the Sew Glad stamp set in black pigment ink.  I cut them out with the coordinating Honey Cuts.  These are adhered with foam strips.

I hope I've encouraged you to give some simple stitching a try!  This was a super fun card to make.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Stitched With Love

Hello crafty friends!  Honey Bee Stamps has another release coming called Maker's Mix!  Today I am sharing a sneak peek card with two of the new products.  This next wonderful release by Honey Bee will be available tomorrow evening after their Release Party.

This card gives you a sneak peek of this beautiful set called Stitched With Love.  It's illustrated by the oh, so talented Kelly Taylor, and of course, has coordinating Stitched With Love dies too!

I stamped one of the three florals from the set and the embroidery hoop onto white cardstock with Intense Black ink.  I colored the images with my Copic markers and then die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I die cut three more of the embroidery hoop from 110# white cardstock and glued all of the layers together with Bee Creative Glue.  NOTE:  There are two dies for the embroidery hoop and you can die cut a solid one, or also use the inner oval die to cut out the center.

Next I used just the outer die for the embroidery hoop and die cut it from white cardstock.  I placed the die cut into the Burlap 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  Then I glued the layered Copic colored hoop to this piece.

For the background layer on my A2 card base, I used one of the 12 patterned papers from the "FreeBee" double-sided cardstock.  This is available, while supplies last, with a qualifying $100 or more purchase and will be added automatically to your cart.  These are such pretty papers!!!

I stamped one of the three sentiments in the Stitched With Love set in black ink.  I cut it out with the coordinating die.  To adhere the sentiment I added a few pieces of foam tape and some glue.

To finish up, I used some pink gingham ribbon from my stash to tie a bow.  A glue dot keeps it nice and secure at the top of the hoop.

I hope you've enjoyed this sneak peek of the Maker's Mix release!  Trust me, you won't want to miss the release party to see it all!

Thanks so much for stopping by!
