InKing Royalty Blog Hop - Winter

 

Welcome to InKing Royalty's December Blog Hop! We have created wintry projects to share with you today - snow, sleds and mittens are sure to be found in our lineup. We are excited to share our creations and hope you love them! After you read my post, I hope you'll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

Winter is my favorite time of year to stitch. Stitching on cards has become popular! Here's a project that doesn't require special dies. I'll share some projects, then a snapshot of the template I used at the end.

I love using satin embroidery floss. It's shiny and doesn't "fuzz". Also used some fancy metallic thread I found in my stash. The Stitched Rectangle dies were perfect for this project! The sentiment is from Treasured Kindness, stamped on a strip with banner cut ends.

I pierced several panels and played with colors. The samples below are ready for sentiments! It might even be fun to add a die cut word.

This card will be for my nephew's birthday. He likes red and black. 

Used two strands of regular floss on this card, and metallic thread.

Just one strand of regular floss was used on this pool party card.

Cased these cards from Laura Bassen. She has other samples and a wonderful video here.

Instead of using a ruler and tic marks I used graph paper. I drew lines of the pattern, then pierced only the stitching holes. Once you have a panel pierced you can use that panel as a template. Here's my graph paper worksheet:

This is fun and pretty quick. It's a great project to have on hand as you travel through the woods to Grandmother's house, or take on a flight. Just pre-pierce panels and pack a needle, needle threader, floss, and small scissors. Hope you give it a try!
