lauralooloo: A Stitched Christmas Star for All Year Long

Crafty peeps! It's Die Cut Obsession Day on the Impression Obsession blog. It's the day we celebrate all things die-cutting. And today I want to share an adorable stitched die cut star that looks perfect at Christmas time, but it's a die you'll use for all kinds of handmade cards, all year long!

The Primitive Stitched Star has a few fabulous things going for it: it's BIG, perfect for filling a card base, it has darling stitched details, and it's great for Christmas. . . and birthdays. . . .and congratulations . . .and all occasion cards too!

Today's first card is ALL Christmas, because after all, today is a Christmas edition of Die Cut Obsession Day. Two simple dies, on an embossed background, and this card is basically done. That makes it a great option for mass-producing Christmas cards! Easy peasy! I added a twine bow, and a few coordinating sequins, but wouldn't this card still be super cute if you needed to keep it a little more simple? You could also customize it with a patterned paper in the background instead of embossing.

Next, I did something a little different with the Primitive Stitched Star. I die cut it a few times with different shades of pink cardstock. Then I created a background with it. It only takes a few stars to cover it, because often you can use parts of the same star to fill the space. Next, just die cut a vellum circle, and add a fun birthday sentiment die cut on top. The Birthday Words die set is perfect for adding a variety of birthday related words to handmade cards and crafts. The words can be mixed and matched for lots of cute possibilities.
