Hello! Welcome back to my blog. For today's card, I am featuring a Christmas coverdie from Kat Scrappiness. I did some stitching which shows through the open spaces of the coverdie.
To create the card, I die cut the coverdie on a heavy weight cardstock. I die cut a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" 80 lb. white cardstock using a slim card stitching die from Crafty Meraki. I temporarily adhered the coverdie die cut to the stitching die cut with washi tape, creating a hinge on the right side of the die cut. In this way, I will be able to know the areas where I will be stitching a certain color of the embroidery floss.
Once I filled up the spaces with cross stitches, I adhered the coverdie to the stitched panel with liquid glue. I die cut another piece of the tree coverdie and stacked it over the coverdie from some dimension. I trimmed the excess on the sides. I placed something heavy over this panels for better adhesion between the layers while the glue is drying.
I matted this stitched panel with a red cardstock. I adhered this to a dark green side folding note card.
I embellished the panel with star gems, pearls and snowflake sequins.
I love the final outcome of this project since it combines two of my favorites, cardmaking and stitching. I feel like I can re-create this card again using a different color combination of embroidery floss. To make things easier for me next time, I created the stitching pattern into a pdf (Kat Scrappiness Christmas Tree Stitching Pattern).
Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
