Today I am featuring a new release from Spellbinders. It is called the Stitched Alphabet and is exactly what the name says. The letters of the alphabet with stitching on them. If you love the look of stitched cards, you are going to love this collection.
Since I was given these random letters and punctuation it was a real challenge to come up with different cards. So for the first card I started with an A2 white base card and added some green striped paper onto a green cardstock mat. I also used the Fluted Classic Ovals in green with a white center. The Letter f was cut from white and stitched with green floss. I also added some of the Be Bold Upper Case Alphabet to complete my sentiment. I also used the Butterfly Card Creator and yellow, orange, and black cardstock for the butterfly and flowers. The enamel dots were added as a final embellishment.
The next card is a little different in that it measures 4.5 x 6.25 (or an A6 size card). I chose this size in order to fit all the elements I wanted to use without any overlaps. I started with a black background in which I die cut the border from the DOM-FEB22 along the top and bottom of the card base. I stitched the border with white thread. Then I cut the oval from the same set from white cardstock and stitched it in black. The "j" was cut from white cardstock and also stitched in black. It was glued to the background piece which was also cut from black cardstock and adhered to the center of the oval using foam squares. The flowers were from the Mini blooms and sprigs die set and and the Petite Floral Potpourri die set. They were cut from white cardstock with black centers and grey leaves.
Finally for the third card, I created this pretty mini slimline wedding card. I started with a white base then added some brushed silver cardstock to form a matt. I then added a smaller piece of white cardstock which was embossed with the Diamond Plaid embossing folder and attached onto the silver mat. Next I needed a Mr. and Mrs. so those letters were also cut from the brushed silver cardstock using the Be Bold Uppercase Alphabet Die Set. The ampersand was cut from white cardstock and backed with the brushed silver and also stitched in silver. I used the Fashion Silver Embellishments to finish off this card.
I can't seem to pick a favorite. Can you? Please let me know in the comments below. If you would like to enhance your alphabet even more, you can use either the Stitched Alphabet Descriptors stamp set or the Stitched Alphabet Glimmer Descriptors glimmer plates to further enhance your cards.
