Spellbinders | Stitched Bright

Hello there, today I have a Christmas card to share using the Spellbinders Stitched Starfilled Background from the Stitched Bright Collection, which released back in August. I really like Spellbinders stitching dies, they add something extra to a special card.

I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Stitched Starfilled Background Etched Dies from Spellbinders Purple Mist Cardstock twice. I adhered the two pieces together (for extra stability whilst stitching) and then got to work stitching! I love that Spellbinders stitching dies give indentations in the cardstock of where to stitch, I find it really helpful to just follow the lines! 

I used a blunt ended needle and DMC White Diamant Metallic Thread. The thread was secured at the back with Spellbinders Best Ever Craft Tape and then the panel was adhered to a US A2 sized card base made from more Purple Mist Cardstock. 

I die cut the Spellbinders Bird and Poinsettia Etched Dies from various shades of Spellbinders Cardstock - Snowdrift, Bearly Peach, Graphite and Royal Amethyst for the bird and hat, Lilac Blossom for the poinsettia, and snowdrift and vellum for the foliage. I adhered the foliage to the card first, followed by the poinsettia. 

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders Sealed Poinsettia Stems Press Plate & Die Set onto white cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Foil and the Glimmer Hot Foil System. It was cut into a strip and adhered to the card using thin foam tape, followed by the bird. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Silver Mix Color Essentials Gems.

This design would work well in so many different colour combinations. I think I will try and do a traditional red colour one too! Thank you so much for stopping by today, I really do appreciate it. I hope you have a wonderful day!
