Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die and Clear Stamp Clubs

Hello crafty friends! I’m sharing another card created with the Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower” – with a sentiment from this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club – “Borders & Sentiments.” You can see my first card with these products here.

With the Large Die of the Month set, I die-cut the standalone flower twice and the leaf four times from Snowdrift cardstock .
I used DMC floss to stitch the flowers and leaves in 972 (green), 728 (yellow), and 898 (brown). I glued the ends of the threads to the back of the shapes.
I stamped the sentiment in Rich Cocoa on a Snowdrift cardstock panel and added Tumbled Glass Oxide ink to the center.
I added the sentiment panel to a card base covered with Chocolate Bar cardstock and adhered the leaves and flowers.

Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die Kit Club

Hello crafty friends! Happy May (one of my favorite months of the year)! I’m delighted to share a card created with the Spellbinders May 2021 Large Die of the Month – “Stitched Card Front, Border & Flower.” With the seven-piece set, you can create beautiful cards incorporating needlework (or not!).

With the large card front die, and the A2-size die to cut the edges, I created a friendship card featuring a sentiment from this month’s Clear Stamp of the Month Club – “Borders & Sentiments.”

To begin, I die-cut the panel from Snowdrift cardstock .
I used DMC floss to stitch the flowers in the following colors: 972 (green), 726 (yellow), 597 (blue) 349 (red), and 603 (pink). I glued the ends of the threads to the back of the frame.
I heat-embossed the Clear Stamp of the Month Club sentiment in white on dark teal cardstock.
I trimmed the heat-embossed panel, attached it to a card base, and adhered the stitched frame to the top.

I stitched the panel using blunt tapestry needles sized 20 and 22. I generally use a 24 on 14-count Aida for cross-stitching. I chose as large as a needle that would fit through the holes.

As I stitched, I was reminded of the embroidery I did as a teen. I still have the eyeglass case that I made for my grandmother. This set would be great for friends to share or for a grandmother-granddaughter activity. You can die-cut the pieces now to stitch at a future date.
