Quilted Cutting Plate

Just look at this amazing Quilted Cutting Plate - a full-size cardfront die!  I used it in the easiest possible way with a single sheet of patterned paper behind it. But how fun would it be to cut lots of little pieces for a colorful quilt?!  I'm excited to use it in so many ways. A nice warm get-well card. Winter cards.  And in this case - a friendship card to a fellow quilter.  (Although be careful with quilters. In this case, I used the new Little Bits - Sewing Machine as an inlaid die cut - but if your friend is a hand-stitcher do not put a sewing machine on your card.)



I loved the stitched detail.

I used the sewing machine as an inlaid die cut so that I could stamp right on top of it. This release also includes dies for a needle and a spool of thread and dies for buttons. You could go a lot of different ways with this entire product group.
(Keep scrolling down - there's another card after this product release.  And remember - the new products aren't available until Thursday.)

Stitch by Stitch 2
Continuing with the warmth of sewing and quilting and stitching - this release includes Stitch by Stitch 2. You might remember Stitch by Stitch which included a heart, an owl, a cat and many great sentiments. Stitch by Stitch 2 expands the collection with this flower, and also coffee cups, a house and many great images and sentiments for mother's day.  When the first Stitch by Stitch came out in December, I white embossed the image on this card. For today's card, I wanted to use markers to add different colors.

I love this sentiment. What a great way to just say "hi" and catch up with someone who loves stitching in any way.
