So excited to be here with the Waffle Flower October 2023 Release Blog Hop! Fall is one of my favorite seasons for many reasons also because of all the holiday crafting! This month, Waffle Flower is embracing autumn with a little bit of Christmas and stitching thrown in!
With my first card, I’m celebrating all the colors of fall (even pink!) with this “wreath” card. I’m using the amazing Multiple Fall Leaves Die-n-Stencil set. Just like the other “Multiple” sets, this bundle allows you to stencil and die cut 4 diecuts at once. This set also has an additional die to add the stitched detail lines in the leaves. For the sentiment, I used the new Dotted Labels Christmas stamps and Dotted Labels dies. The Dotted Labels dies come in a variety of shapes that match the coordinating stamps and all have a dot detail around the edge. The best thing about the dotted detail is that you can use it alone or you can use them to stitch. The holes are just large enough for thread, twine, or embroidery thread. In my card, I used the dots to create a stitch that went around the edge using some gold embroidery thread. This label die is scalloped so the thread stays nicely in place. To finish off the card, I added a stenciled background (knit stencil) and some gold dots. Love the pink, brown, and gold combo!
This next card uses the Dotted Label stamps and dies again but with the Dotted Triangle Trees dies. The Dotted Triangle Trees dies can be using individually or stacked. The stitching dots in all the trees line up so stacking is a cinch.
I love the looks of non-traditional holiday colors, so I went with bright cardstocks for my trees. The I stacked them and added some gold embroidery thread and a gold star on each. For the sentiment, I used the dotted label (no stitching this time) with the coordinating sentiment. I love how they perfectly match! The background is the previously-released Snowflake Panel die. This is a great card for a beginner stitcher!
