Spellbinders April Small Die of the Month

Hello there.  I’m popping in today to share a thank you card made with the April Spellbinders Small Die of the Month.  This month is called Stitched Thanks and consists of seven dies - one large main die with the stitching holes and six letters to spell “thanks”.  It’s perfectly sized for a slimline card.

I have wanted to give stitching a try for a couple of years now and even bought the supplies back then.  Sadly, they have been collecting dust ever since. 🙈   So when I couldn’t find or remember where I kept them, I was so bummed.  I thought about buying the supplies again, but this die set can be used with or without stitching.  But as luck would have it, I found them last night just as I was about to post!  Here’s my card.


Being this is my first time stitching, I felt stitching the full die (which is gorgeous btw) would be a bit daunting.  So I went in a completely different direction, taking different parts and created stitched embellishment pieces for my card.


4 pieces of the one on the left above were overlapped and the holes aligned to form the large blue flower.  The piece on the right created the purple flower. 


This is a mini slimline card; another first for me.  A piece of Bristol paper was trimmed to 6”x3”.  The top and bottom were dry embossed with the large main die to give it some texture.  The letters were die cut from black cardstock and silver foil paper and offset for a shadow effect.  Assembled the card onto a 6”x3” white card base and added glitter enamel dots from Your Next Stamp Enchanted Garden Sparkly Gumdrops to finish.
