Jeanne and her team were blown away by all the amazing stitched cards. 

April Challenge Week 3

This week’s challenge is hosted by our design team member Jeanne and her co-hosts Bobbi and Nancy!

Do you love to sew and papercraft!  This week we’re challenging you to create a stitched accent for your card design! We are using some of the Stitchable Pinking shape dies for our projects.

My card starts with a Stitchable Pinking Oval personalized with a pretty cross stitched rose in bold colors that reflect my style.. brights!  I love adding details that bring images to life like the Oval Embroidery Hoops cut from wood veneer and  screw fixture cut from silver foil.  A die cut Floss Bobbin is wrapped with extra floss  and some pearl head pins are tucked inside.  I added even more stitched detail with the A2 Lacy Layers background and a sew cute Stitched Sentiment.

This sewing challenge made me try something new on my cards - cross stitching! I wanted to feature my cross stitching designs so I chose a simple, beginner's pattern - a heart - and got busy stitching two sizes. I used the Paint Strokes Stencil for a graphic background and added faux cross stitches on the gray strokes for fun. The Be Her kitty is holding the thread in her hand from the large heart. Her two colors of embroidery floss are wrapped in the lower corner like a cute bow. Machine stitching around the perimeter of the card finishes this 5" X 7" card.

I used cross stitching and machine stitching on this 5" X 7" card. I wanted it to feel very handmade so I hand drew roses and leaves on the sunburst stencil to make it look like sewn fabric, similar to a pieced quilt. Next, I layered the Stitchable Hearts die and the sweet, Be Her owl holding a small cross stitched heart tag in her hand. Lastly, I added the stitched sentiment at the bottom, sewing it in place on the ends like a sewing label. :)

The challenge is "Sew Fun", and Waffle Flower's Stitchable Pinking Rectangle Die is the perfect start for my card. The holes allow for counting my diagonal lines to create the striped background. I used the Potted Lily stamp and matching die set for the focal point and sentiment.

  • Oh my I’m so excited about this challenge. I’m totally new to cross stitch, but have recently purchased ALL of your cross stitch dies. Thanks for the inspiration. I hope you can share tips, as well as inspiration along the way. For example, I’m not familiar with the stitching Nancy Penir used on her lovely card, but would like to learn.
