WT991 - Stitching - March 7, 2024

[Shoe Girl]

Lisa here as your hostess for this week's WTUI challenge.

I am seeing more and more cards with stitching added to them. Many years ago, before I had all the supplies I have now, I added cross stitching to my cards. It seems that is coming back now but using paper and a die cut punching out the holes in the paper. Oh, the possibilities. Today's challenge, add stitching to your cards. If you don't own any of the stitching die cuts, no problem, add some faux stitching.

I can't wait to see how you add stitching to your cards today.

Here are a few tutorials you could try as well:

Here are mine. You can't really see the stitching as well as I intended on the Tyvek one, even though I deliberately used a cream thread, but I did pull the sewing machine out especially for it.

I absolutely LOVE stitching on my cards, but don't have much time anymore to do so! Thanks for a fun challenge!!

I love the look of real stitching on cards, but I don't have a machine to use on cards, so I went with faux stitching. Here's my card: WT991 wonky stitching by stampingwriter at Splitcoaststampers

Anita(snietje) will be in 7th heaven today with your challenge, Lisa! She does extraordinary stitching on her cards. I, on the other hand, am not so talented so I used the "faux stitching" technique. : ) Thanks.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I might have more time for real stitching tomorrow when I don't work, but for today it's a stitched edge die.

I love using my dies that create a stitched effect:
