Stitched Spinning Snowflake Ornament (Product Feature Week)

Hello! Welcome back! This is my third post this week featuring the Trinity Stamps Big Snowflake Cut & Foil Die Set. For today, I created an interactive ornament. 

I die cut the second layer from the die cut set on a blue cardstock. Since I plan to add stitching, to guide me where to poke holes on this snowflake die cut, I embossed the first layer to this die cut. To do this, I positioned the second die cut over the snowflake die cut. I secured it with a low tack tape to prevent it from shifting when I run this through my Sizzix machine. I added the embossing mat over the bottom plate and under the cardstock. The impression created is amazing! I can even leave it as is. But since I am going to add stitching, I poked holes using a needle. I started stitching using a DMC Diamant Silver Metallic Thread. I stitched two blue snowflakes.

I added a transparent thread on the back of the snowflake using a strong thin double adhesive tape. I applied another strip of thin double adhesive tape over the thread to keep it sturdy. I added small dots of liquid glue to the rest of the back of the snowflake and adhered the other stitched snowflake.

To create the frame, I die cut a circle frame using two stacking circle dies on a light blue cardstock. I also die cut a chipboard with these circle dies. I knotted a twine for the ornament hanger. I adhered this to the top center of the circle frame using a strong thin double sided adhesive tape. I snipped a part of the chipboard frame so that the knot will be nestled in between the ends of the chipboard frame.

I positioned the snowflake on the center of the circle frame. I adhered the clear thread to the circle frame using a strong thin double-sided adhesive. I looped the clear thread back to the double adhesive and sealed this with another thin double-sided adhesive.

I adhered the other light blue circle frame on top of the chipboard using a liquid adhesive. I added shimmer to the circle frame with Spectrum Noir Clear Shimmer pen.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you come back again to see what I create next with this product. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
