Happy Tuesday, peeps! I have a fun Christmas card for you today; I've not used the Patchwork die lately, so I decided to use it for the 52 Christmas Card Throwdown challenge, which is to use stitching!
Normally, I would get out my sewing machine and do some actual stitching on my card, but I was lazy, so after diecutting the two panels from some retired Lights Aglow DSPs, I assembled them back together on a Basic White panel, adhered them onto a Soft Succulent card base and added sentiment from Paper Smooches. For the sewing part, I diecut two white felt stars and sewed them together with some embroidery floss and added a gold sequin to match the gold dots on the papers:
Since I told you I was lazy, I only put the stitched star on one card, LOL! But I did add an Evening Evergreen scallop border to my sentiment on this one!! Two more cards for my Christmas stash!
Thanks so much for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

These cards are so unique and pretty with those wavy die cuts and I especially like that pretty little stitched star.
It's just the sweetest star to wish upon, LeAnne! I love the DSPS you chose for your patchwork and it's so good to see these wonderful Paper Smooches sentiments again!

This is so cute LeAnne - I love the stitched star, the perfect focal point! I am hoping to have a play with this one too (having discovered the perfect never-before-used die last week that will be perfect!)
Super cute, LeAnne!
That little stitched star is darling! Two delightful cards, LeAnne!
This is gorgeous, LeAnne. Such a sweet card, and one that would fit in just great over at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge. Closes tonight at 11.55 pm GMT, Jo x
