Limited Edition Stitching Die & Stamp Cards with Jess Fernandes

Hello, Crafty Friends. My name is Jess Fernandes and it is my first time on the blog as a Guest Designer. I’m very happy to be here and to be featuring the Limited Edition Stitching Die & Stamp collection.

For my first card, I created a splatter background with a green ink pad. Then, I used Layered Stitched Diamonds metal die and Layered “Happy Holidays” Diamond Sentiment stamp to decorate the card.

Cut white cardstock to 4.5×5.5” to create the base.
Splatter tiny drops on the panel with a green ink pad.
Let the ink dry and then glue it to the panel with foam tape.
Cut a panel with Layered Stitched Diamonds metal die from white cardstock.
Cut the Layered Stitched Diamonds a few times from the white paper, only in the middle. Glue the pieces together to create more volume.
Hand stitch the panel with different shades of green threads to create an Ombré effect.
Stamp the “Happy Holiday” sentiment in green ink on the flat diamond shape.
Glue the 7 diamond cut pieces to the background with foam tape.

For my second card, I created a pink ombré stitched panel with Layered Stitched Diamond and a “ With Sympathy” Layered Diamond Sentiment.

Cut a white cardstock to 4.5×5.5” to create the base.
Cut the Layered Stitched Diamonds panel using white cardstock.
Cut the extra elements as shown in the photo.
Start by hand stitching the edges with one shade of pink, from the top hole straight to the middle one. Repeat the process a few times.
Stitched the rectangle in the middle of the panel in a lighter shade of pink, which should match the diamonds on the top of the panel.
Stitch two diamonds in pink and glue it to the top of the rectangle. Then, stitch two white diamonds for the sides. Glue all the diamonds with foam tape.
Cut the flat diamonds one in pink and one in white as the centerpiece.
Stamp “ With Sympathy” in black Stazon ink on the flat white diamond
Overlap the pink and white diamond and glue it in the middle of the panel with foam tape.
Finish with enamel dots on top of the 4 holes around the main panel.
