May Card Stitching for Spellbinders

Hello fellow card makers. It's the first of May and time for new club inspiration for Spellbinders. The May Stitching Die of the Month Club selection, "Stitched Balloons" is all about celebrations. There are so many different ways you can embellish those amazing balloons too! Scroll down for brief details.

I decided to do some ink blending for this card, and you'll find the full supply list at the end of this post. There are four balloons that will be cut out when you do your die cutting with this card front die, and two balloons that are etched onto the card panel. Because I wanted to ink blend those etched balloons, I cut an extra card panel and used it as a stencil to ink blend over the etched balloons. 

For the remaining 4 balloons, I ink blended those on my craft mat and popped them up on adhesive foam. I also added a layer of Glitter Pops of Color on top of my balloons for sparkle and shine!

I went with tone on tone stitching using DMC embroidery floss 603 and 727.

For my string, I snipped bits of double sided adhesive tape and tacked onto my card panel, using the same embroidery floss that I used for the balloons. I also tucked my string behind the bottom and back of my card panel, adhering there as well.

Spellbinders has lots of lovely sentiment stamps on their site. Unfortunately. I discovered that the Sentimental Greetings stamp set that I used for this card which initially was released back in January, is sold out as of this writing.  It is still available on the Spellbinders UK website though, if you feel like you absolutely have to have it. I really do love that font though. It's so whimsical!

There are lots of perks with membership! Get the details here! Thanks so much for stopping by.
