Embroidery Happy Birthday Card


I just recently found time to play around with some of the products and goodies that my dear Beth Stiver sent me during the recent 2018 Stamp.A.Faire swap.

My two loves are cross stitch and creating cards.  Therefore, the newest trend of combining both is right up my alley.   

This card is using the beautifully coordinated DMC Floss Beth sent me.  Love the combo and although this is a Birthday Card for a good friend – wouldn’t these colors be great on a baby shower card?

Found the pattern on Pinterest -Pattern From Pinterest

Garden Whimsy#2 - 2018 Stamp A Faire


Garden Whimsy #2

My first attempt during PTI Stamp A Faire was floppy flowers because the stems were too long.  I redid my project and also added fencing along the flaps which I had seen KarenBinPa include on her creation.  It may be seen at https://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2887929
