Sunday Stamping Blog Hop - Stitched All Around

Good Day Crafty Friends,

Welcome to the July Stamping Sunday Blog Hop. You are currently visiting Jackie Aitken in Western Australia. This month the Design Team are showcasing the Stitched All Around. This is one of my favourite bundles from the Annual Catalogue as I absolutely adore stitched anything on cards.

I made a couple of projects for this months blog hop, the first set combines the Stitched All Around bundle with my second favourite bundle - Tropical Escape.

My daughter finished her first semester of her first year at University with some spectacular results, so Hubby and I decided to get her a little gift for her tea cup collection. I decided the Pocket Card needed to coordinate with the gift wrapping, so I have used the same colour scheme on both. The gift box was wrapped in Kraft card then decorated with the same die cuts and DSP used on the Pocket Card. 

The colour combination has been inspired by the Tropical Escape DSP - Soft Sea Foam, Blushing Bride, Shaded Spruce with Gold Glitter and Berry Burst added for a bit of contrast.

The card front has been embossed with the criss crossed stitched die. All the decorative elements have been added to the belly band which include die cuts and the ombre sentiment from Stitched All Around.

The gift wrapped box has a gold glitter letter added to the front and the clustered elements switched from the bottom right to the left hand side.

My second project is a simple, quick and easy card and calendar combo using some of the In Colour DSP in Pineapple Punch and Grapefruit Grove. I like to have a little CD case calendar on my desk and its fun to decorate a new one every month. 

This months calendar page uses the large framed die from the Stitched Labels Framelits combined with the little dream catcher die created using the Chase Your Dreams Framelits. I have teamed some of the Grapefruit Grove DSP with Coastal Cabana.

The small stitched circle inside the dream catcher, the heart and little label die were all made using the Stitched All Around coordinating Framelits.

The Pineapple Punch card also uses an ombre sentiment from the Stitched All Around stamp set as well as the coordinating dies. In colour binder clips were added to both the card and calendar, they are so cute and the colours match the dotty DSP perfectly.

Be sure to follow the hop all the way through for some creative and inspiring ideas using the Stitched All Around Bundle. A participant list has been provided below, just in case you get lost any where on your journey.

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time, stay awesome, stay organised and stay crafty
