Hello! Welcome back to my blog. I stitched this pattern a while back and finally am able to make it into a card for a co-worker who has been out sick. She likes to sew. When I stitched this back then, she was the person I have in mind to give it to. I was just waiting for the perfect opportunity. Here we are.
The pattern is called Sew Lovely from The World of Cross Stitching Magazine, Issue 370, April 2026. I stitched this on an 80 lb white cardstock. I used the Altenew Cross Stitch Canvas Die to add stitching holes to the cardstock. I usually follow the color recommendations of the pattern but if I don't have the floss, I look for a color substitute using an online tool from thread-bare.com.
I put together pieces of Authentique patterned paper to create a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" panel. I die cut a stitched scallop window on this panel using a reitred die from Altenew.
I blended lightly a purple ink on the edges of the panel and on the window. The recipient's favorite color is purple which explains the ink color selection. The pattern though used pink embroidery floss.
I used the We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy Zig Zag Stitch Piercer Sewing Tool to add stitching holes on the seams of the paper. I added stitching to these holes using a white embroidery floss.
I stamped the sentiment on a pink paper included in the Authentique paper pad. I embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder. I die cut this into a strip. I also die cut extra pieces of cardstock which I adhered to the back of the sentiment strip for some dimension.
I adhered the stitched panel to a note card. I adhered the window panel on top of this.
I hope you like today's card. Thank you for visiting my blog. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
Maria Giselle B.
