Hi crafty friends! It’s Debbie with Debbie J’s Crafting Corner, and today we’re diving into something festive and fun with the new Spellbinders Stitched Bright Collection! If you’re ready to get creative with a unique holiday-themed die set and add some beautiful stitched details to your cards, this project is for you. I’ll be creating a Stitched Holiday Tree Card.
Spellbinders Stitched Bright Collection Overview
These dies are perfect for adding dimension and texture to your holiday cards. Today, I’ll show you how I created a stitched starry background and layered Christmas tree, bringing that magical holiday sparkle to life.
Craft Along: Stitched Starry Background
I started with the Stitched Star-Filled Background Die, and let me tell you, the results are stunning. It’s a detailed design featuring stitched stars and accent lines, giving your background a beautiful, textured look.
For the stitching, I used white embroidery floss, and while it’s an easy process, it does take some time. I suggest setting aside a few hours to relax and enjoy the stitching—it’s perfect for a cozy crafting day!
Once the stitching was complete, I layered the background onto a white card base using foam adhesive. The foam helps secure those little bits of floss, keeping everything nice and neat.
Crafting the Holiday Tree
Next, I created a layered Christmas tree using the Stitched Holiday Tree Die. I cut the tree from both dark green cardstock and patterned paper, then layered them together with liquid glue. The contrast between the dark and light greens gives the tree depth and dimension.
I stitched the tree with green floss and followed the debossed guide lines before gluing everything together.
To decorate the tree, I added some gems and Nubo Drops in various colors, creating a beautiful, sparkly tree perfect for the holidays.
Finishing Touches
For the sentiment, I used a large Merry Christmas sentiment across the front, adhering it with glue for a clean finish. Finally, I embellished the card with more gems and Nubo Drops to add a little extra holiday cheer!
I love how this card turned out! The stitched details, combined with the festive elements, make it perfect for sending to friends and family this season.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Option 1: Detailed Step-by-Step
Finish with embellishments: Add more gems and Nuvo Drops around the card for a festive touch.
Cut the base: Use the Stitched Star-Filled Background Die to cut an A2-sized panel of cardstock. Pop out all the holes after die cutting.
Stitch the background: Using white embroidery floss, stitch along the star patterns and accent lines following the embossed guide on the cardstock.
Prepare the tree: Die-cut the Stitched Holiday Tree from dark green cardstock and a lighter green patterned paper. Add the stitching and layer the pieces using liquid glue and foam for dimension
Assemble the card: Adhere the stitched background to a white card base with foam tape to secure the floss.
Decorate the tree: Add gems, Stickles and Nuvo Drops to your tree for extra sparkle.
Add the sentiment: Attach a large Merry Christmas sentiment across the front with glue.
