Spellbinders had a new release yesterday, and I used one of the dies sets to make our oldest grandson a birthday card for later this month.
supplies: white and a variety of aqua, and green cardstock, Stitched Numbers dies, 6 strands of embroidery floss in mint and aqua, Pink Fresh Studio Color Block Diagonal Stripes cover die, Taylored Expressions Graphic Impressions Birthday embossing folder
These numbers also come with shadow dies, but for this card I just cut 2 of each stitching number, stitched one and glued it to a 2nd unstitched number for stability. For my background, I pieced various stripes together onto a panel of thin white cardstock, then embossed it - no need for any other sentiments, and the stitching can be the star of the show!
I know these dies will come in handy for our 3 grands as they get older and become more difficult to design for!
Thanks for stopping by!
TERRIFIC idea to emboss a fun background like that!
ReplyDeletePersonalizing with the age or a person's name is a great idea!
