One of my favorite items in this Ink to Paper release is this stitched acorn die! It's great for a card focal point and it makes a cute felt project as well! It also reminded me of an old saying that always makes me chuckle: " The mighty oak was once a nut that held its ground".
I created an ornament and cut two of each die piece. On the front side, I stitched the large cross stitched pattern then added a running stitch to both sides using DMC embroidery thread #301 (I used all 6 strands to give it more definition). I glued some satin ribbon between the layers and added a yarn flower embellishment that I've had in my stash for years.
I'm planning to add some essential oils to the flower center (can you smell the orange, cinnamon and nutmeg?) and will hang the ornament either on my car vent or in my craft room. This would make a fun gift for a friend as well!
