Hello and Welcome! Today, I’m honored for joining Spellbinders for their May 2021 Clubs Kit Inspiration Blog Hop! Throughout the hop, you’ll see amazing projects created by many talented designers showcasing this month’s Club Kits. So therefore, to get you inspired I will be sharing this hand-stitched “Happy Birthday” card showcasing this month’s Large Die of the Month. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it ↓
To begin with, I started off by lining up over a large piece of white cardstock the frame along with its insert die set including in this month’s Large Die of the Month club and then, I went ahead to run them through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.
Thus, as soon as I had finished the die-cutting pieces process, I went ahead to use the brush head from my Tool ‘n One to remove the little die-cutting pieces out of the die-cutting panel reveling that way the stitching panel. And, soon as I finish doing that, I also went ahead to die-cut 2 single flowers along with some single leaves using the dies including in the set as well.
Moving on, right after that I had finished die-cutting all pieces, I went ahead to start the hand-stitching for the floral frame using a hand-stitching needle along with DMC Metallic Gold. Therefore, as soon as I had finished the hand-stitching for the floral frame, I continued to get the hand-stitching done for the flowers using 2 hand-stitching needles along with 3780 Embroidery Floss and 3819 Embroidery Floss for the leaves.
Lastly, after having the hand-stitching completed for the floral frame, flowers and leaves, I went ahead to glue down the backing of the frame using Bearly Art Craft Glue to an A2 side folding white card base on a landscaping form and then, I also went ahead to glue down the flowers and leaves on the upper left and lower right corners of it, just like you see them in the image above.
Nevertheless, I also went ahead to mount with craft foam adhesive a foiled sentiment which I had previously created using one of the glimmer plates including in a past glimmer hot foil club of the month along with a piece of Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Polished Brass and of course my Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform for the foiling process.
Finally, to finish the card off, I went ahead to adhere down here and there some gold gems using Gold Mix Color Essentials Gems to add a pop of shine! With that being said friends, I hope you’ve enjoyed reading the step-by-step for how I made this hand-stitched “Happy Birthday” card showcasing this month’s Large Die of the Month Club.
