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 Birthday Card With Spellbinders Club Kits

Happy Monday!  Today I'm sharing my stitched birthday card that features three of Spellbinders' November Club Kits.  The Cross Stitch Nested Card Front & Tag Stitching Die of the month was an easy stitching session with lots of beautiful layers to choose from!

I used some beautiful variegated DMC cotton pearle thread to stitch the edges of the layers of the Stitching Dies that were die cut from Waterfall cardstock.  I used white cardstock for the tag.

I really like how there are separate dies to use to die cut layers with stitched edges!  The top most layer was embossed with the Cascading Streamers Embossing Folder of the month.  I used glue to adhere all the layers except the top layer which is adhered with foam tape.

I die cut the Party Time Cake dies from white cardstock and colored the pieces with my Copic markers.  Please note: This die is a Monthly Bonus Item included with the Deluxe Caboodle Kit.

I die cut the sentiment that is part of the Party Time Cake dies from white cardstock.  The top layer of the sentiments are colored with a coordinating ink.

Spellbinders February Stitching Die of The Month -- A Beautiful Floral Card Front

Hello crafty friends!  Today I'm sharing my card that features the Stitched Floral Focal Card Front die set.  This is Spellbinders' February stitching die of the month and is so beautiful.

While I've added stitching to this card, the die set would be just as stunning without stitching!

I die cut the Stitched Floral dies from green, yellow, and teal cardstock.  Then I used a couple of coordinating teal inks to add shading to the flower portion.

I chose a few different green shades of embroidery thread to stitch the outer portion.  I used six strands of the thread on the flower portion and three strands of each color for the flower center and the leaves.

To adhere the finished pieces to my A2 card front I used liquid glue behind each stitched portion of the outer layer.  I added thin foam tape to the flower pieces.

To finished I stamped a sentiment from the Hummingbird Sentiments in black ink, added foam tape squares and adhered it to the card.

I have several other ideas for using these February stitching dies and hope to have time to try them out.  Be sure to check out all of the details of Spellbinders' Club Kits to see what may interest you!

Stitched Numbers & More Collection

Hello friends!  Have you ever tried stitching on your cards?  It's so fun and a great way to add a totally different element to your cards!  Today I'm sharing three cards I made with Spellbinders new Stitched Numbers and More Collection!

All of the supplies I've used are linked in the supply list below.  I really enjoyed using the variegated thread and love all of the colors in this collection of threads!  I stitched flowers on all of the numbers and elements using a lazy daisy stitch, a wagon wheel rose, and French knots.

I created this sweet card for my grand-niece that will be 7 soon!  I think the foiled sentiment adds a pretty and sparkly touch!  The background is the fun Hand Drawn Scallops embossing folder.  The cute sparkly balloon is die cut from Color Block Balloons die set.

I chose a couple of the sentiments from the Birthday Unboxing Glimmer set.  Then I foiled them with my Glimmer Hot Foil System and Silver Holographic Speckle Glimmer Foil from the Variety Pack.

Next up is a 36th birthday card for our daughter!!

This is a mini slimline card with the beautiful Sweet Leaf Mini Slimline die.  The sentiment is from the Happy Occasions Words die set.  Here is a closeup photo so you can better see the stitching details.

My third card is an anniversary card for my sister and her husband.  I love having these occasions to use as my inspiration!

I added my stitched numbers and the exclamation point from the Stitched Punctuation and Symbols set to a die cut frame layer.  Many apologies, but I did not realize the A2 Filigree Marquis die had been retired.  I always check my products for availability and must have missed this one.  There are so many beautiful ways to show off these stitched numbers, so just check your stash!

I added another sentiment from the Happy Occasions Words set to the card.  (I die cut four layers and stacked them together with glue for extra dimension.)  A clear glitter pen swiped over the sentiments adds some pretty sparkle!

I hope I've given you some inspiration to try these fun stitching dies!  Thank you so much for stopping by!
