Cross-Stitching on CutCardStock

BBBRRRRR!!! This is your creative friend and new DT member, Karen. I just returned from super cold Northern Minnesota. I felt like a little penguin all wrapped up in my coat, hat and scarf. It literally made me feel like I was “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”. And, it inspired my cute little card today. Did you know that you can cross-stitch on cardstock? It’s so much fun! The quality of the cardstock from CutCardStock will allow you to cross-stitch and create to your heart’s content. They have it ALL.

I used a piece of Sand Castle Tan Cardstock and a really cool stitchable die to cut. Then, I cross-stitched my cute little penguin onto the paper.  This cardstock is thick and hefty giving it the girth you need to stitch on it while still looking like paper.  Have I mentioned all the gorgeous colors 🌈of cardstock they carry at CutCardStock?  I’m not joking when I say that you can find the perfect color(s) to match all your projects, and you’ll LOVE the prices and quality.  We all need our go-to cardstock company, and I’d suggest that you look no further than CutCardStock.

I used a Jelly Bean Green A2 Folded Card as my card base. Then I attached another piece of the Sand Castle Tan Cardstock which I inked on the edges with pink/red inks.  The cross-stitched image was created by using a free pattern I found on Pinterest.  I had to run to the store twice to pick up (first black and then white) more DMC floss because I didn’t plan ahead.  Lol, I won’t make that mistake again.  I put together my card by attaching the inked piece of Sand Castle Tan Cardstock, then the cross-stitched piece of Sand Castle Tan Cardstock.  My stamped sentiment was added at the bottom and added another piece of the gorgeous Sand Castle Tan Cardstock. My finishing touches included a burgundy bow and a few little pearl accents.
