Have you ever tried stitching on a card. I have two ways on is with embroidery threads the other is faux.

 Well Hello and Welcome

I love the look of stitching on a card, but don't own a sewing machine. I decided to get the look with out the hassle. Here's how I got on.

Method

First I inked up the dotty heart stamp in bumble gum ink. Then stamped the sentiment and coloured it in with the pink jelly roll pen. Placed this on to a foam mat and went around the heart piecing holes evenly spaced.

I then die cut out the scalloped heart which already has stitching on it.

After layering the hearts together, I then re- poked the heart through again, as its easier two poke layer by layer than two layers of card together. 

After stitching this I added to a black 6 x 6 " piece of card stock. Punch holes around the mat and sewed as before.

I love this different look to a card.

The other card I used a pen in black to add faux stitching.

use the pen to join up the stitching marks on the die cut.

Thank for Popping Bye 

Happy Paper Craft
