These cards don't use a lot of supplies, but they turned out amazing. I cut each tag using the My Favorite Things Die-Namics Scalloped Tag Cross-Stitch Die, one from white and one from gray with the stitching grid and one of one of each without the grid. The patterns came from the MFT Free Printable Resources page.
With the card on the left, I opted to stitch both the snowflake and the background, this took a bit more time, but I love how polished this tag looks. I used DMC size 5 thread in #4237 and white. When I completed the stitching I backed it with the second gray tag I cut and added a bow with some vintage seam tape. The tag is mounted on a white panel that was die cut with the Stitched Rectangles dies from Simon Says Stamp and then mounted on a teal card base that matched the bow.
For the card on the right, I stitched only the snowflake, then backed the tag with the second white tag I cut. I used DMC size 5 thread in #4230The bow on this tag is also created from vintage seam tape and matched the card base color. I die cut a pocket scrapbooking card using the same Stitched Rectangles dies from Simon Says Stamp and stamped it with the sentiment "Let it Snow" from the Color Layering Christmas Trees stamp set from Hero Arts using VersaFine Smokey Gray ink.
Thanks for swinging by today. I hope you're inspired to try some stitching on your cards. If you're looking for resources to start your paper stitching journey I would suggest this video from Jennifer McGuire.
