Stitched Snowflake Card for Spellbinders

The July Stitching Die of the Month Club Subscription is live and it's Christmas in July! This month's kit is called the, "Stitched Snowflake Cardfront". It comes with a stitched cover plate and the large stitched snowflake die. There's also a companion die sentiment set that you can purchase separately, "Tiny Merriment Die Set" that includes etched words and outline dies.  Scroll down for details, plus, I've got a true story that may have inspired gluing all those tiny bits onto my background!

I started by die cutting my dies on white cardstock with my Platinum 6. I decided to cut 2 of the snowflake dies in white. Read on, and you'll see why. My card is a bit larger than an A2 size, as that's the size of the cover plate. 

I trimmed my own card with an 8.5x11 inch cardstock. It leaves it a tad short on the backside for a vertical card but that is perfectly acceptable. A vertical card will actually stand to display much better, even if the back is slightly short.

 




True story, I've been watching the History Channel survival show "Alone". The contestants have to survive on their own in extreme winter and wilderness conditions. They have to utilize everything at their disposal to survive, including eating whatever they can scavenge. Maybe that's why I decided to salvage those tiny little dots from my snowflake die cuts, haha! Using up everything at my disposal!

I thought it would take longer, but it only took about 20 minutes to glue all the bits. I simply dropped a dollop of glue onto my craft mat and used the sharp end of my Tool N One to grab the glue, tap into the hole, then grab the dot with my sharp point while it was still sticky. It was easiest for me to line up and drop the glue in 3 center holes at a time, then grab each bit and press it in. Kind of like an assembly line. It definitely takes patience but I was pleasantly surprised with the result.






I really like the rustic look of Christmas so that is the color scheme I was going for. I used variegated DMC embroidery floss for my stitching. Did you know Spellbinders carries DMC brand embroidery floss? Check out their selection, here.




I should mention that I also cut my snowflake on dark green cardstock to coordinate with my layered panel. I swapped out some of the white pieces for the dark green on my snowflake center.


To finish my card, I added some Pops of Color at the top and bottom of my snowflake die in Olive. I also die cut the etched word "Peace" from the Tiny Merriment die set.




I'm pretty sure that I get way more joy out of creating cards than the recipients who receive them. I'm sure you feel the same way too! If you'd like to get some stitching joy in your mailbox each month, the window is open from July 6th-27th. This month's stitching club will ship at the end of the month. There's no obligation or commitment. If you decide to skip a month, just cancel and rejoin again at any time! 

Thanks for popping in today. I've got a full supply list/affiliate shopping links below. Have a great day!
