Hi everyone and happy Thursday!
It's time for a new challenge over at the
The topping this go around is...
Of course, the topping is always completely optional.
"Anything Goes" Birthday is perfectly fine!
Here is a look at the card that I created for the challenge...
As I was searching through my dies, trying to decide which set to use for my frames, I came across these cute little Eyelet style ones and thought they would be perfect to use on my card, especially paired with a fun little cross stitch piece. I love cross stitching and find some time everyday to stitch on something, we won't talk about how many works in progress I currently have lol!
Here's how I made it....
I started by creating a top folding A2 cardbase from some white cardstock. I cut out two frames, one from pink patterned paper and the other in white, layered them on top of each other and adhered them to my card base. I used a cross stitched edge rectangle die, embossed it with a polka dot embossing folder and glued that to the top of my white frame. I went to the Lawn Fawn site, got the free pattern for the strawberry and using their dies, cross stitched the pattern onto some light pink cardstock. I popped up the berry piece to the front of my card using some foam tape and added a little bow that I created using some black cording. I didn't have the right sentiment in my stash so I created one in Word and printed it out onto a piece of light pink cardstock. I used a die to cut it out and popped it up with foam tape as well.
I think this came out so adorable!!

Your cross-stitched strawberry is so cute and frame perfectly. Love the scalloped frames you used to showcase it. Glad to have you guesting with us at STB.
You already know how much I love what you did with my Topping. This card could not be any sweeter and your photography is so good too! It has been such a joy having you as our guest, I look foward to your emails to see what you have made.
This is so adorable, Stacey. Love the scallop frames and that sweet cross-stitched strawberry at the center. Sweet, sweet card. Happy to have you as our Guest Designer.
I really enjoyed reading your post and your creative journey to make this card. You didn’t stop with a fancy die you also embossed it and there’s so much texture here. I also love that you created your own sentiment and it’s perfect for this card. Altogether this is a winner.
Such a gorgeous design Stacey, I love the cross stitched berry, and your framing is so pretty! Cathy x
