Pootlers Blog Hop - Spring & Summer Catalogue - Needle & Thread

Good morning

todays project is participating in the pootlers blog hop

and it is celebrating the launch of the new Spring and Summer 2019 Catalogue

I chose to use the new Needlepoint Nook Suite to make the card today and it is one of the new distinctive stamps which give you the textured effect which you normally would need from 2 or 3 step stamping but with just one stamp its fabulous.

Anyway lets talk you through how I made this gorgeous card.

Take your Night of Navy Cardstock and cut it to 14.8cm x 21cm

Score on the longside at 10.5cm and this gives you the perfect A6 Card Base

Cut two pieces of Whisper White Cardstock at 14.3cm x 10cm

One is for the inside for you to write your greeting and the other one if for the card front.

Using the one of the stitched line stamps I went around my card using Night of Navy Ink Pad

to give the effect of stitched edged card.

I then used the large stitched effect flourish and stamped it twice in the bottom left hand corner again in night of navy.

I used the lovely 3 cross stitch stamp and created a background for my card base, again sticking with the night of navy ink pad.

I then took all the floral stamps and stamped them on a sheet of whisper white using night of navy ink pad and balmy blue ink pad.

I then stamped out the Thank you Sentiment from the same set and using the dies from the needlepoint elements, die cut all my stamped florals and my sentiment

I then positioned them where I would like and then adhered them using tombow and dimensionals,

I used some wink of stella on some of the flowers

I then used tiny strips of night of navy card stock and added it to look like thread through my buttons before adhering them on to the two large flowers.

Finally I added 5 Rhinestones just to give it a little sparkle.

I hope you enjoy this tutorial and have a wee go at it,

Happy Hopping
