I'm thrilled to be part of a Spellbinders Blog Hop celebrating their January Clubs, Nature's Dance. I'm sharing the January Stitching Die of the Month called Stitched LadyBug. I made 2 cards. While I prefer the first more dramatic card, the second one was a lot quicker to make. You choose! I only have a few of the January club sets so I used other Spellbinders products as well. Dramatic Stitched Ladybug Love this fun colorful card! Embossed Brushed Black cardstock with the Lush Leaves 3D Embossing Folder Die cut and stitched the ladybug in black and red and adhered together as shown. Set it aside to work on the flowers. Used my latest favorite floral dies, Vivid Blooms Etched Dies, to find a resting spot for the ladybug. Die cut quite a few flowers in various warm colors and played around with them until I had a bouquet that worked under the ladybug. Added a few more leaves here and there to fill in. Once I was satisfied, I glued all the flowers together onto the embossed cardstock and secured the Stitched LadyBug with foam tape over the flowers. Added a sentiment (hot foiled white onto black cardstock) from You are Everything Pressed Plate & Die Set Finished it off with a few pearls and some Onyx Color Essential Gems Adhered to an A2 Brushed Black Cardstock card. Simple Stitched Ladybug Next up is a much simpler card using the both the ladybug and the sentiments from the January Stitching Die of the Month Club. This was a snap to make - Embossed Brushed White cardstock with the Lush Leaves 3D Embossing Folder and trimmed to 5.25" x 4". Die cut the ladybug twice in white and black as shown. I like stitched elements to be sturdier so I stitched or glued two layers of each die cut. Stitched the wings and head in white on white and adhered all the pieces together onto the main body of the ladybug. Added a few Onyx Color Essential Gems with Bearly Arts Glue. Die cut a few of the sentiments that come with the January Die of the Month Stitching Kit in Mirror Metallic Gold Cardstock from the Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock Pack. Adhered everything to the panel with foam tape. Added a few black enamel dots to the ladybug. Adhered the panel with more foam tape to an A2 Brushed White card. MOOD WHEN DONE: EXCELLENT!

I've made several cards using a new set of dies called Nordic Ornaments by Spellbinders. I just love these dies. They make using color so fun. Have a few more ideas on how to use these, but I haven't had time to stamp! Hopefully that changes soon. I also used a couple of other Spellbinder products (flower dies) to mix things up.  Disclosure: Spellbinders sent these dies to me.  MOOD WHEN DONE: Happy! Update: We moved last week - 5 minutes from our apartment. It's our 3rd move in 4 years and we both are done with moving! It's going to take a few weeks to settle in here but it's starting to take shape. We have a couple of more rooms than our apartment had and it feels good to spread out a bit. While it's nice to have more space, we moved because the apartment was too expensive - we were anticipating a large rent increase and decided we would be better off owning.   I have a craft space again and am happy about that. When we were living in the apartment I was crafting in the living room and the (huge) kitchen island. That island was great but it meant dragging out all my supplies to make a card and then putting them all back. I ended up doing that several times a day and it got a bit old. So, I now have a space at the top of the stairs, I guess you call it a loft. I'm happy with it because there are 2 big windows providing a lot of light. It's got a couple of big bookcases, and old kitchen table, my craft tables, and a counter height folding table. So it has a bit of a used furniture store look, but I think it will be very functional. Now I just have to unpack.  It's been close to a month since I've done any crafting and wow do I miss it. It really is a stress reliever. Hobbies are the best!

When I saw all the stitching dies available on the market I knew I didn't want the very large ones that would take many hours to make a card...
