Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month – Beautiful Blooming Florals

This month’s Spellbinders Stitching Die of the Month is a true floral beauty! The set includes three sizes of blooms, and I couldn’t wait to dive in with floss, cardstock, and gems to create a stitched garden full of detail and color.

🌼 My Stitching Process

To give my flowers a sturdy stitching base, I die cut each bloom twice and glued the layers together before stitching. This little extra step makes the stitching so much easier and helps the finished blooms hold their shape beautifully.

I used two threads of floss throughout, which was just the right weight for crisp yet delicate details.

🎨 Stitching Recipe & Color Palette

For this project, I worked from the Color Cubes Palette #391 (Color Cubes Bundle) and pulled together a warm, happy scheme:

• Blooms: Bellini, Coral, and Sicily (ColorWheel Cardstock)
• Background: Waterfall ColorWheel Cardstock
• Floss colors (DMC):
  • #819 (pale pink)
  • #745 (pale yellow)
  • #3328 (dark rose tan)

The combo of pinks, corals, and yellows pops beautifully against the fresh aqua-blue background!

✨ Finishing Touches

• I added a touch of sparkle with Woodland Tales gems, which highlight the flower centers perfectly.
• For the foliage, I decided to switch things up! Instead of using the leaves included in the set, I reached for the pretty die cut leaves from Citrus Spritz (Here is a LINK to a post using the Citrus Spritz Die Set).

💡 Extra Tips for Stitched Dies

• Don’t be afraid to mix and match leaves, blooms, and embellishments from other kits for added variety.
• Layering blooms in groups of three always creates a pleasing, balanced look.
• Keep a small piece of tape handy to hold your floss tails on the back of stitched elements until you’re ready to glue them down.

This month’s kit is such a joy—relaxing to stitch, yet bold and beautiful when assembled. I can see these blooms being used for birthdays, thank you cards or just becuase.
