Design Team: Real & Faux Stitching
The Design Team’s cards this week feature holiday themes accented with stitching, either real or faux. Click the thumbnails below to visit the designers’ blogs for larger photos and more details.
Christmas Cottage by Lisa Cook |
|
 |
Lisa turned this Season’s Tweetings image into a Christmas Cottage for cardinals. The shiny red threads from her stitching pull the entire card together well. Her holiday papers lend to the holiday season without detracting from her image. She always likes her image to be the focus of her cards. This one was colored with Copic markers. A Spica marker added some subtle sparkle here and there. |
Happy Holidays by Lynn McAuley |
|
 |
This holiday card was created using one of the sweet penguins from Penguin Chicks released last week. The card is constructed of white card stock from Papertrey Ink with the snowflake sky torn from a sheet of designer paper by the Paper Studio. The chick was printed on white Georgia Pacific card stock and colored with Prismacolor pencils blended with GooGone. The pierced and faux stitched edging is from Angels Landing’s Faux Stitched Borders. The sentiment is by Kitchen Sink Stamps. |
Holiday Birdhouse by Lauri Ingram |
|
 |
For this week’s stitching challenge, Lauri went with a faux stitching effect highlighting one of the images from the Season’s Tweetings release. Sewing challenged? You can mimic stitching by piercing your paper and using a gel pen to simulate stitches. |
Christmas Cardinal by Jennifer Love |
|
 |
Jennifer has used the cardinal from the Season’s Tweetings set to create this seasonal appropriate card. She printed the image on off-white cardstock and colored with Copic markers, matching the patterned paper she had chosen for the card. She used faux stitching around the image and around the patterned paper to complete her card. |
Stitched Candle by Dawn Lusk |
|
 |
Dawn combined images from the Penguin Chicks, Seasonal Borders, and Faux Stitched Borders digital stamps sets and printed them on tissue paper. She colored it with Copics. It’s applied to the candle, carefully, using a heat tool. |
Cracked Glass Cardinals by Cindy Royal |
|
 |
The image panel was first colored with Prismacolor pencils, blended with a Prismacolor blender, and is then completed with a cracked glass technique using embossing powder. The stitching across the top panel has been colored using Prismacolor pencils. |

Amazing creations. What talent!
Great projects. I love the stitching. I’m not good at it myself, but it looks great on your things. TFS.
Gorgeous work ladies! I always like the look of stitching, real or faux.
These are all stunning! Love the stitching theme & all the textures that resulted. What a great idea to add digis to a candle; though, I’m not surprised at all to see ingenious ideas from Dawn!
