Hello! Laura here and I am so excited to share my clean and colorful cards featuring these fun new dies from the 2024 Stitchmas kit along with the stitch along kit.

Watch video tutorial below or on our Youtube Channel:

My first card features the tree die along with coordinating stitching tree die. I die-cut both of these into white cardstock. Using seven shades of the floss included in the stitch along kit I stitched seven different portions of the tree in rainbow order.

This was so much easier than I expected it to be. I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set included in the stitch along kit in white onto Cosmic Sky cardstock, which is also included in the stitch along kit. I added some Fashion Oyster pearls to the stitched tree for embellishment.

My second card uses the same tree die, but this time I used it by itself, without the stitching coordinating die. I created a window opening into white cardstock. Then on a separate panel of cardstock, I adhered strips of Spellbinders solid colored cardstock. Using the sentiment stamp set included in the stitch along kit, I embossed a sentiment in gold onto the die-cut tree panel.

I popped up the panel over the stripped-up panel and then adhered both onto a Pink Sand card base. I added one large Fashion Oyster to the top of the tree for embellishment.

I love how clean and colorful both of these cards came out. I hope you enjoyed these projects. Thanks so much for joining me, and stay tuned for more incredible inspiration using the rest of the 12 Days of Stitchmas Kit!
