Sew Glad We're Friends -- An Easy Stitched Card

Handmade card featuring a stitched colorful flower in an embroidery hoop with 'Sew glad we're friends' text.

Hello Honey Bee friends!  Are you loving the new Maker's Mix release?  What are your favorites?  Today I'm sharing my card featuring the In Stitches: Daisy with a simple stitch that even a beginner can do!

Sew glad we're friends card with a rainbow petal flower stitched in an embroidery hoop on pastel stripes, Honey Bee Stamps.

I began by die cutting green and white cardstock with the In Stitches: Daisy dies.  I used a few Copic markers to color the flower petals and center.  Then I used coordinating colors of DMC embroidery floss and a rounded tip embroidery needle to stitch each piece with a simple back stitch.  There are lots of instructions on the web to see how to do this easy stitch.

I used Bee Creative glue to adhere the Daisy layers and set it aside to dry.

Next I used Lovely Layers: Circle Embroidery Hoops set and die cut the hoop, cloth and larger cross stitch insert from white cardstock.  I die cut two more hoops and cut out the center portion of each with a circle.  I used glue to adhere the layers together.  Then I colored the top layer with a couple brown Copic markers.

I added patterned paper from the "FREEBEE" cardstock pack to an A2 card base.  I glued the Circle Embroidery layers to the card.  (This cardstock pack is free with a qualifying $100 or more purchase, while supplies last.)

Then I stamped two sentiments from the Sew Glad stamp set in black pigment ink.  I cut them out with the coordinating Honey Cuts.  These are adhered with foam strips.

I hope I've encouraged you to give some simple stitching a try!  This was a super fun card to make.  Thank you so much for stopping by!
