How To Do Faux Stitching On Cardstock

Hello Crafters, Bonjour!,

I’ve been resting lots and haven’t been on my blog too much. Chris has been away in Saskatchewan for some training for 9 days and returning home this week. I can’t wait. I feel we are too old to be apart for so long. Ha ha …. I miss him dearly. I’ve been on dog duties during his absence and that has been just enough for me post op recovery. I do have a project to share with you today and I also want to remind you that Sale A bration is almost over. If you want to earn FREE products, now is the time, you only have until tomorrow. Stampin’up! has added more products that you can earn for FREE.

Today I want to share with you 2 products from the annual catalogue that I truly adore. It’s the Butterfly Brilliance Stamp set with it’s coordinating Dies , Brilliant Wings. They truly are a gem to work with since in one shot you can die cut the images you stamped. I have a Reel on my instagram account Kim_McGillis dated 2023/02/25 to view these two products in action.

I used the 2021-2023 In Colors that are retiring at the end of April. This is a good time to replenish on it’s coordinating cardstock, designer series paper, embellishments, ink refill etc. Before they are gone for good.

2021-2023 In Colors used:

I used the coordinating stampin’markers to add specs of ink on my project. This added a splash of color to the white cardstock. I also used the coordinating in color Opal Rounds Embellishments and Designer Series Paper. The Basic 3D Embossing Folder was from an exclusive online collection that will be available to customers in March. You will want to get your hands on these. There are 3 different designs. Read about it HERE. If your primary language is French, you can see the flyer HERE.

I used a technique that is called Faux Stitching for my butterflies since I don’t own a sewing machine….

Tools needed for The Faux Stitching Technique on Cardstock:

Take Your Pick Tool
Stampin’Pierce Mat
Many Marvelous Markers
Ruler

I also posted a Reel video on my instagram account, Kim_McGillis showing this technique on 2023/02/26.

I hope you liked these cards today as much as I do. These are going out to some of my team demonstrators.
