Hello and welcome. I hope you’re having a good day.
I’m delighted to be joining the lovely design team over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown again this week, for a wonderful challenge to use real stitching on a card…
I started with this beautiful background paper by the Lovely Studio, adhered it to a piece of card and stitched around the edge in a straight line – well, as best I could – but it’s handmade, right?
Next, I stitched two rows of stitching around the edge of a base card, freehand, using the longest stitch possible on my sewing machine.
I popped up the centre panel, added a stamped sentiment, and a few sequins to finish.
I hope you’ve been inspired to join in the super challenge at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown. We would love to see your beautiful cards.
Enjoy your weekend

Gill, you made such an elegant card with two rows of stitching :). I’m so glad to be in your company as guest designer at 52 CCT.

Love how you stitched your patterned paper to create a frame and a second one on the white cardstock. Very pretty card!
I like your stitching! Beautiful card you made :-))
Beautiful card !
