Hi there! Just poppin’ in with a few fun projects especially for Halloween. I’m not much of a super scary Halloween type, but I do love a really colorful, festive and candy-filled holiday:)

Stitched Thanks

October 29, 2018

Hi there! Just popping in to share a fun project that I created using the Christmas Tree Stitching die.SSS-Christmas Tree Stitching & ThankfulI’ve been wanting to get into this whole stitching on cards thing for a while. This was an easy way to try it out without feeling too overwhelmed. I used the Chritmas Tree Stitching die and die cut it four times into a square panel.
SSS-Christmas Tree Stitching & ThankfulI used eight different colors of floss to stitch the angled lines. For the sentiment I used the Thanks die. I die cut four of the “thanks” word dies and adhered them together with spray adhesive for dimension. Then I popped the stitched panel onto a Fog card base.
