Crafting With You Cross Stitch Inspiration

Supplies needed:

Project Recipe:

1. Cut cardstock, designer paper, and foil sheets pieces to the following sizes using a Paper Trimmer:
   - card from Boho Blue Cardstock at 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and scored at 4-1/4"
   - 4" x 5-1/4" from Basic White Cardstock
   - 2" x 5-1/4" of lines of blue stitching on light blue background design from Countryside Inn 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, cut so the lines are horizontal on the vertical rectangle
   - 1" x 5-1/2" from Boho Blue Carstock
   - 2-1/2" square from Pecan Pie Cardstock
   - 2-1/2" square from Basic White Cardstock
   - 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" from Boho Blue Cardstock
   - 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" of shiny mirror finish from Silver Foil 12" x 12" Specialty Pack

2. Cut a 10" piece of the white twine from the spool in the Baker's Twine Essentials Pack.

3. Lay the twine on some Grid Paper to protect your work surface. Use the side of the brush tip of the Boho Blue Stampin' Write Marker to color the twine. Set it aside to dry.

4. As you are ready to stamp using the Crafting With You Set, place the cardstock on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.

5. Mount the "you inspire me" or " with love" sentiment from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Ink it up with the Boho Blue Ink Pad. Stamp it in the lower right corner of the vertical 4" x 5-1/4" white rectangle.

6. Pick out the long, skinny die that cuts out a line of dots from the Sentiment Silhouettes Dies. Put it on top of the 1" x 5-1/2" Boho Blue rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so it is as close as possible to long edge near the bottom. Run through the machine. Repeat on the other end of the long edge making sure the dots are in a straight line.

   Note: This die just cuts out a line of little holes.

7. Adhere the Countryside Inn Designer Paper rectangle to the left side of the Boho Blue strip with the holes cut along one long edge so the designer paper is right next to the holes. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut off any excess cardstock along the top and bottom edges.

8. Adhere the designer paper strip with dotted holes strip attached to the left side of the vertical stamped white rectangle.

9. Adhere the stamped white rectangle with layered designer paper attached to the front of the Boho Blue card.

10. Mount the grouping of flowers and leaves image from the Crafting With You Set on Block B. Use the brush tip of the Boho Blue Stampin' Write Marker to color the flowers. Use the brush tip of the Lost Lagoon Stampin' Write Marker to color the leaves. Breathe on the stamp to moisten the ink. Stamp the image near the center of the white square.

11. Use the fine tip of the Lost Lagoon Stampin' Write Marker to color in the centers of the stamped flowers.

12. Pick out the embroidery hoop die from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the stamped white square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine so the open center is centered over the stamped image. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Leave the die out.

13. Put the embroidery hoop die on top of the Pecan Pie square on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Keep all the pieces.

14. Pick out one of the sets of two small spools of thread dies from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the solid circle cut out of the Pecan Pie cardstock on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.

    Note: You are only using one small spool on this card. You can save the other to use on another project or recycle it.

15. Wrap one end of the colored twine around the spool several times leaving about 2-1/2" hanging free.

16. Put a tiny bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive on one side of the twine wrapped spool. Remove the protective backing. Adhere the twine wrapped spool to the front of the card so it is just above the stamped sentiment on the right side as shown. Make sure the loose hanging twine is at the top of the spool.

17. Adhere the loose end of the colored twine to the front of the card using a small bit of Tear & Tape Adhesive so it is centered over the right edge of the designer series paper about 2-1/4" from the top edge of the card. Leave a little bit of looseness in the twine so it curves a tiny bit.

18. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the open Pecan Pie embroidery hoop cut out to the front of the card so it is centered over the right edge of the designer paper and hole cut strip and is about 3/4" from the top of the card. Make sure it overlaps the top of the colored twine.

19. Insert the flower stamped white circle cut from the embroidery hoop into the crosshatched embossing folder from the Basics 3D Embossing Folders set. Place the folder with the cardstock circle inside on the platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and run through the machine.

20. Adhere the dry embossed, flower stamped circle to the inside of the embroidery hoop on the front of the card.

21. Pick out solid die that cuts out two scissor halves from the Crafting With You Dies. Put it on top of the Silver Foil rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed. Leave the die out.

22. Put the solid die that cuts out two scissor halves on top of the 1-1/4" x 2-1/2" Boho Blue rectangle on a platform on your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Run through the machine. Use the Take Your Pick to remove the pieces as needed.

23. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut the blue handles off of the blue scissor cut out pieces. Recycle the blue blades.

24. Use Paper Snips Scissors to cut the silver blades and part of the handles off of the silver foil scissor cut out pieces. Recycle the silver foil handles.

25. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the blue handles to the tops of the silver foil blades and handle bits.

26. Use Multipurpose Liquid Glue or Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere the completed scissor blades and handles to the front of the card so they overlap each other to make a complete pair of scissors. Make sure the handle with the hole in it is on top. The tips of the blades should overlap the right edge of the designer paper and hole cut border a bit. The trailing twine should be in between the blades so it looks like the scissors are about to cut it.

27. Use the mini spatula on the Take Your Pick to carefully peel up a small Boho Blue dot from the sheet of 2023-2025 In Color Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backing as well. Adhere it to the hole in the scissor handles on the card front.

28. Cut a 3-1/2" piece of the Boho Blue 3/8" Textured Ribbon.

29. Tie a half knot in the center of the ribbon. Trim the ends.

30. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the ribbon knot to the front of the card so it is centered over the top of the embroidery hoop.
