Second project of the day because I had to make a non Christmas themed card for the design team – so back with another post so I don’t miss a day on my Christmas in July challenge.
This card was made in three stages … firstly the iridescent paste through the stencil – which I then let dry (for a few weeks because I got poorly and then went away for a few days! Thankful I got ahead on my projects!). Secondly the sewing done in a different session on the sofa not as part of the video! Thirdly assembly!
The card itself is quite simple … the paste creates a fun background with dimension and shimmer. Then a topper of a die cut with additional die cuts on top!
Obviously the sewing is what makes it special.
I chose the Merry Merlot cardstock base for this, then some darker thread for the leaves, some tone on tone for the smaller flowers and then light grey for the flowers with the gold centre.
I then chose the smoky slate for the letters and added some wink of Stella to add some more shine. The letters are also stacked three times for dimension.
Now I have a few of these die cuts already sewn ready to make into cards so expect some more at some point as part of my regular Festive Friday – probably won’t get a chance to use them again before the end of the month … although you never know!
Happy crafting!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the stars in the background!
Thank you – finally got round to finishing the sewing on the others I die cut so many more to use for future creations
