Round Stitched Bookmark

Today I've got something different to share! A stitched bookmark! I used to cross stitch all the time when I was younger. I confess that my eyes are just not as good as they used to be! I really wanted to try to make something with this die from Waffle Flower called the Stitchable Round Bookmark Die. I'm linking up to the Neglected Stuff Challenge because I have a box of cross stitch thread and honestly I can't even gander a guess at how old it is!

I followed the free pattern (keep reading for the link) but switched up the colors to use what I had on hand.

I selected the "You Are Loved" sentiment because you have to know you're loved if I spent the time it took stitching this for you LOL! Honestly it didn't take very long - probably about 3 hours, but still....

If you love this pattern, and want to try it yourself you can find it here FREE to download at Waffle Flower Crafts.

I added a plain pink Round Bookmark to cover the back side of the stitched piece and clean it up a bit. I got about 100 colorful tassels on Amazon for around $8 here.

Felt Cheeky Apple

Today I'm breaking away from my normal cards and sharing a felt stitched project featuring the new Spellbinders Cheeky Apple. If you haven't seen the stitched dies from Spellbinders they're definately worth a look!

I cut the pieces using my die cut machine and then stitched them together. The die set includes the leaves, flower, stem and even arms and legs if you wanted to turn the apple into a character. Spellbinders offers felt sheets, but I love the Merino Felt Rolls from the Felt Pod. You can select just the colors you want and the quality is exceptional.

I hope you'll give the stitched dies a try. I was able to do this in a few hours and turned it into a magnet for the fridge. I smile every time I see it, because it is adorable and it was something I wasn't sure I'd be able to do! I'm sure glad I tried!

A Patchwork of Happiness

Today I'm playing along at Creative Knockouts where this time it's about stitching.. real or faux. I thought this sewing themed card would be just the thing!

My card starts with that quilt look background. I cut the Waffle Flower Tiny Squares Texture die from white cardstock. Next I inked it with the Quilted Petals stencil. There are other stencils that work beautifully with the textured background to create quilt look designed backgrounds.

I used a Quilted Frame to create a focal point for that vintage sewing machine from the Sew Fun die set. It includes lots of little extras including the bobbins, buttons, thimble and scissors.  A bit of vellum inside the frame tones down the bright background so it doesn't overpower the design.

The sentiment is from the Quilted Hug stamp set. There's a coordinating die set that fussy cuts the sewing themed sentiments.

I hope you find some time to play!
