I received the Gathering Stitches dies from Spellbinders as a Christmas gift, and decided to make a card (one). Well, since the rainbow cuts out all the pieces in one colour at once... I ended up with a ton of rainbow pieces, so had to keep going - and ended up with five cards.
The best part, was after choosing and die cutting all of my pieces in this pastel colourway, I looked in my stash to find papers that matched - and immediately found Farmhouse by October Afternoon. Even though the colours worked, I realized that there were several stitching themed papers in the pack, which made them even more perfect.
Once I saw these button themed papers, I knew I'd be adding buttons to my cards, which I haven't done in forever! And of course, I have quite a stash of buttons. I added some dark yellow thread to each of the buttons, to make them look as though they were sewn down to the cards.
I haven't added any sentiments to my cards, I'm going to wait and see how I want to use them, and I'm also waiting on the Needlework Tools die set, which I may add to my cards as well - but I didn't want to wait to post them. Stay tuned!
