My Cluttered Corner

Hey everyone! I am super excited to announce Waffle Flower's August 2020 Stitchables release! There are so many amazing and innovative dies in this release! I can't wait for you to see them all! There's everything from stitchable borders:

To Stitchable Holiday Dies:

I have a video this month with TONS of tips & tricks for adding stitching to cards, finding ways to speed up stitch times by doing simple stitches and even using these dies WITHOUT stitching! Check it out here:

This week's Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is a birthday celebration! They are celebrating 9 years so it is time to use some Simon Says Stamp products for a Happy Birthday card!

I used the Best Ever stamp set to stamp the rainbow and sentiments and then used a We R Memory Keepers paper piercer and piercing mat to poke holes for some basic backstitch stitching.

It's so easy to do and I imagine it could be used on so many stamp images, but it is perfect on this rainbow! Check the video to see how to make this card here:

I was up on the Therm O Web blog recently using quilt blocks as inspiration for cards. Check out the pretty quilt blocks:

I was inspired by the butterflies and stitched blocks to create some of my own butterfly and quilted looking cards.

First, I die cut the butterflies from Therm O Web Toner Sheets using my Silhouette Cameo. Then I foiled the butterflies with Therm O Web Deco Foils and a laminator. Next, I adhered the die cut butterflies to acetate and cut around the outside. Then I colored in the open spaces with Copic markers to create a stained glass effect.

 To create the card background I grabbed 6x6 patterned paper and adhered the middle of one corner to a 4.25x5x5 card panel. I continued to adhered corners of different patterned papers down, making sure not to put adhesive on any of the edges.  Once the whole card panel was covered, I trimmed off the excess by flipping the panel over and then machine stitched along the lines to give the background a quilted effect.

 I combined stamping and die cutting to create my sentiments.

I created a video for Therm O Web where I show how to create the stained glass butterflies, quilted backgrounds and put the card together. You can check it out here:
