Stitched Valentine's Card
Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Happy Valentine's! Today's card was created for my husband. I got the inspiration after attending an online Michael's class last week featuring Lizzy from Stitch People. The pattern I used on this project is free. I customized the people to closely match me and my husband.
Although I cross stitcher on cloth, lately, I've been enjoying stitching on paper. Most of the time, I use the Paper Smooches Cross Stitch die to poke the stitching holes on a lightweight cardstock. This pattern requires a larger area of cardstock and will require thicker floss to cover the holes. So instead of using my usual cross stitch die, I am using the Waffleflower A2 Piercing Panel die. This die creates piercings that you can poke holes thru with the use of a thin needle. Somehow, it resembles a large count Aida cloth.
Doing half stitches can be difficult when doing it on paper. A very thin needle to poke the hole in between the piercings is a must so as not to rip the paper from this poked hole to the closest piercing. Doing certain embroidery stitches can also be a challenge. I modified the stitch on the embroidery embellishment. I was hesitant to do the Lazy Daisy stich on paper. I might practice doing it in the future.
Another disadvantage on stitching on paper is that mistakes are not forgivable. Once you poke the piercing, it does not heal back like a cloth. That's why a thin needle will be best to use so that even if you made a mistake on the hole that you poked, the hole created is small enough to be noticed.

Stitched Heart Greeting Card
Hello! Welcome back to my blog! For today, I created a stitched heart as the focal point of the card. I die cut an 80 lb. white cardstock with the Paper Smooches Cross Stitch die. On this panel, I die cut a heart using the Lawn Fawn Stitched Heart Stackables. I started stitching on this heart with the LF Perfectly Plaid Paper as the color inspiration. After I am done stitching, I adhered another die cut heart to the back to prevent the ends of the floss from being undone. I adhered this stitched heart to an embossed white cardstock. I adhered this to a pink cardstock die cut with the LF Outside In Stitched Scalloped die.
For the sentiment, I die cut a banner using the LF Fancy Folded Banner die set. I snipped off the ends so I can adhere it to the back of the heart. I heat embossed the message on this. The stamp is from the LF Love Letters stamp set.
I stamped the images on white cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. The images are from the LF Yay! Kites stamp set. I colored the images using Copic markers. I fussy cut the image.
I adhered the banner to the center of the heart, then adhered the images to the bottom.
I adhered tiny heart sequins to the cross stitching, matching the color of the sequin with the color of the embroidery floss.
Thank you for visiting my blog! Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
