Spring Into Stitching release! Stitched Flower

 Spellbinders is releasing some new dies made for stitching - they're called "Spring into Stitching".  There are 4 different designs; over the next couple of days I'll be showing you 2 of them.  Today I'm playing with the Stitched Flower set.

First up, a card in happy yellows.

supplies: white, 2 yellows, and green card, yellow dotty dp from Lawn Fawn Watercolor Wishes Rainbow pad, Stitched Flower dies, 2 yellows and brown embroidery floss, Doodlebug tiny heart sprinkles, (retired) Hero Arts/Studio Calico sentiment

I used the multi-leaf sprig die that is included in this set, and stitched my flowers on colored cardstock, matching my floss as best I could to the 2 shades of yellow

Now here's a cool version., this time stitching on white cardstock.

supplies: white and Surf Blue card, Stitched Flower dies, embroidery floss, Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die, a retired MFT sentiment

I used 3 strands of floss for my stitching.  I love the lacey effect that the flower edges have!

This would make a terrific beginner's set for anyone who hasn't done stitching before......each of the elements is small, and you can do as many as you'd like, then build them together for a bouquet.  There are incised guidelines in the dies to help guide your stitching.

And for those of us who have done stitching in the past, here's a nice use for all that floss we still have!

Many thanks to Spellbinders for sharing these dies with me; they were just what I needed to spend a relaxing afternoon.
