Hello! Happy Mother's Day! I am celebrating this day with a project made for two co-worker moms of mine. I hope you like it.
This project was supposed to be a part of a DT project but the colors are not matching so I decided to work on my DT project later and went ahead to finish this project. After all, I have been itching to sew for a while.
The pretty foiled patterned paper is from Spellbinders. I trimmed this based on the size of the stitched scallop rectangle die from Pretty Pink Posh. This paper is very light weight. I won't be able to support any stitching on it. I adhered a cream cardstock behind it to make this paper thicker.
I used The Stamp Market Stitched Alphabet dies to die cut the stitching holes. Initially, I was planning to stich on the patterned paper directly but I tear one of the papers when I was peeling off the tape that kept the letter dies in place. I die cut the letters again on the cream cardstock this time to cover the poked holes on the patterned paper. I cut the letters using a craft knife.
I used a DMC embroidery floss and a DMC metallic threat do add cross stitching to the poked holes. I adhered this on the patterned paper.
I die cut a total of 6 pieces of the scalloped frame. I adhered 3 pieces on top of each other, stacking it for dimension. I adhered this on the patterned paper.
I used a Stampin Up rubber stamp to spell out the names of the recipients. I stamped the letters using Wow! embossing pad then poured Wow! gold embossing powder over it. I heat set this. I punched the letters using the square punch included in the stamp set.
I adhered the letters underneath the stitched letter.
