Stitched Christmas Cards Using Spellbinder's Stitching Dies

I have a couple of Christmas cards to show you that I made with my Spellbinder's Stitching Dies.  I belong to the Spellbinder's Stitching Die of the Month club.  I get one die a month at a reduced price.  I'm really enjoying this club because it combines two of my favorite hobbies, sewing and paper crafting, into one!  Plus I think the stitching takes card making to a whole new level.

"Merry and Bright Cloche"

My first Christmas card uses the Spellbinder's die "Merry and Bright Cloche".  I had to admit I had no idea what a cloche was until I looked it up.  😁.  I really like this set because it has so many possibilities.  For my first card, I used the card exactly as it was meant to be used, but I can see just making a forest of trees, or constructing a shaker card with the cloche; the possibilities are endless.

To create the card I cut all the individual pieces out, ink blended the cloche, tree, and stand, and then stitched everything with metallic gold floss.  I then glued everything together, and popped the tree up on dimensionals.  The dark blue card base was embossed with a snowflake Cuttlebug embossing folder.

"All Wrapped Up"

My next card works great for many occasions, not just Christmas.  I could just change the colors and make a birthday card, graduation card, etc.

This card uses the Spellbinder's Stitching Die "All Wrapped Up".  On the inside of the card, I used a retired Stampin' Up! sentiment from "Star Studded Season".  I highlighted the word "gift" by stamping it separately on white card stock and cutting it out and gluing it onto the card.

To make this card, I cut all the pieces in two shades of red, then did the stitching with metallic gold embroidery floss.   I used a Cuttlebug embossing folder to create a Christmas design on white card stock.  I glued the bow to the white card stock and added a sentiment tag from "Flourishes".

Have A Great Day!  Amy
