It’s that time of the month again….time for Spellbinders April Club Kit releases. Today, I am sharing my floral stitched card. I know I always say this, but the April Stitching kit is a real beauty.
One of the things I like about stitching is that the project is transportable. I stitched my flowers in a doctor’s waiting room and I completed the leaves in my backyard on a beautiful Spring day (see photo below).
The Deluxe Caboodle
I also wanted to mention what a wonderful deal the Deluxe Caboodle Kit is. You save 60% off all TEN kits for the month + you get a bonus gift. So, if you are thinking about multiple kits, consider the Caboodle. The current cost is $160 but the kit value is $315.
Spellbinders Stitched Wall Hanging Kit
My Stitching Process:
- The kit has 18 dies and I started by cutting all my pieces with my Platinum 6 die cutting machine.
- Spellbinders has a nice selection of stitching accessories in their shop that you can find HERE. I used DMC Gold Thread, #818 Soft Pink, #772 Light Yellow Green and #922 Light Copper for this project.
- When I started stitching, I took two strands of floss, separated them one at a time, brought them together and then stroked and lengthened them until they seemed tame and ready to use.
- I usually stitch with size 22 Tapestry needles.
- I like to use 1/8th inch double sided liner tape to attach my floss to the die cut.
- Remember to keep your floss taught as you stitch.
- When I move from one area to the next, I run the floss through the just finished stitched area to keep the thread secure. This gives a nice look on the finished project.
- Don’t stitch with threads that are too long or they are likely to knot.
- When I was done, I added a bit of Bearly Glue to the ends so that they would stay in place.
- To finish my project I embossed white cardstock with the my longtime favorite embossing folder: Intertwined Lattice.
- I used the Press and Seal method to keep my elements together after I arranged them. Place Press and Seal over arrangement, flip them over, apply glue, flip back over and adhere to card.
Other Supplies and Products Used:
- Ultra Pink Cardstock
- Papaya Cardstock
- Meadow Cardstock
- Kiwi Cardstock
- Mist Cardstock (card base)
- Brush Gold Cardstock
- Sand Cardstock
- Clay Gems (for orange flower centers)
- Zipper Pouch
- Bearly Glue
Isn’t this a great place to stitch?
