Hello Everyone, welcome to Altenew March 2018 Blog Hop! We have lots of inspiration for you. You should have arrived from Terhi Koskinen's blog. If this is your first stop just click HERE to start at Altenew blog.
You will enjoy this release lots of stitching die if you love stitching, lots of other cool stamps and dies as well. For this first card I use the new Hope Stamp Set, Hope Die Set, and Mandala Die Set
First, I stamped the sentiment on a brown cardstock and white heat embossed the words, then die-cut the hope on a brown cardstock.
Next, I stamped the flower image using Hope Stamp Set and die-cut it with Hope Die Set. I also distressed the white card base with peacock feather Distress Ink then I glued the Mandala Mandala Die Set on top of the distressed card base.
For this second card I used the new Cross Stitch Canvas Die, Sweet Rose Bouquet Stamp Set and thank you sentiment from Many Thanks Stamp set.
For my last and final card I used the Pegboard Canvas Cover Die.
I hope you enjoyed!

ReplyDeleteOh, oh, oh!!! I am going really fast and stamp some images on my already cut cross-stitch cardstock. Using stamps and outline stitches looks just amazing! I may have to re-make my mom's Mothers' Day card, too! (It was my first ever stitched card, and I hand punched my own very simple flower image and stitched it.) Or, maybe I will give it to her this year, and try that technique for her birthday. I am definitely saving this image to the idea file. Thank you.
