Hello Stampers. Today, I have for you Stampin' Up's! new cross-stitch Sweet Threads Simply Sent kit which you can order from the Spring Occasions Mini Catalog beginning January 3. This kit includes supplies to create eight cards including, Lucky Limeade and Primrose Petals pre-printed cards, die-cut patter pieces, thread and needles.
I like the polka dot pattern and colors of the pre-printed cards, but using a flat, single-layered card is not for me; so, I did what paper crafters do -I pulled out my Stampin' Trimmer and cut them up. Here you will see the results of my destruction. I like that I could mix the two colors and added Basic Gray cardstock for a nice neutral contrast, along with 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon and Silver Basics Designer Buttons as embellishment.
The die-cuts included in the kit are a scalloped rectangle as seen on the card to the left above. However, I actually sent the focal images for the other two cards through the Big Shot. I was able to die-cut them using framelits after I completed the cross-stitching. I like the variety of shapes for the focal images.
Here are closer views of the three cards. You will be able to order this kit as well as everything else in the Spring Occasions catalog beginner January 3. In the meantime, check out the Clearance Rack and shop now at my Stampin' Up! web site www.ediestamps.stampinup.net
Thank you for visiting my blog and Happy Stampin'! EdieB
