Pinkfresh Studio “Homespun with Heart” Release Blog Hop

 

Hi Friends! Welcome to the February release hop from Pinkfresh! It has the usual beautiful florals, but if you are a needle crafter, hang on to your hats!! So many sets for your must-have list, just like me : ) Warning: it may be hard to decide!

Quite a collection, all housed under the name The Stitch Edit. Let's start with my main card, the one that includes most of the elements from The Stitch Edit: Thread Spool and The Stitch Edit: Thread Spool Florals.

I was heavily inspired by my own little collection of antique button cards on the sides of this photo. Love that there are four different kinds of thread spools, and floral details to go along with each one. You can elect to add your own buttons and thread, like I did here, or make your own die-cut buttons and thread from The Stitch Edit: Notion Story Die!

Honestly how adorable is this die-cut gold needle, that you can actually thread with floss?! 

The lace edging comes from The Stitch Edit: Heritage Lace dies. I masked them across the middle to make a darker section of lace on the interior edge. 

I also wanted to make a cute little gift card holder or tag using The Stitch Edit: Large Spool Die. On the bottom of this photo you can see there's a slot that's just perfect for tucking away some cash!

This die is perfect to create your own spool card! 

 

And including a needle book insert is next-level fun! No special die needed for this, aside from the needles, I just cut and scored a scrap paper, punched some small holes for the needles to go through, stamped a quote that went with the needles, and that was it!

As I was cleaning up, I felt compelled to use up my leftover die cuts, and surprised myself by walking away with these three additional cards!

These two thread spools (one cut in half) were from the first card. I love that the bottom of the spool has a sentiment, which came about from not inking the florals on the bottom of the thread spool border stamp, and instead stamping the sentiment there.  

The base of the card is embossed with all of the lace border dies from The Stitch Edit: Heritage Lace.

This card also uses all the border lace die-cuts, this time adhered to the card base.

I'd also like to call your attention to all the embossed details on the border laces. It really adds so much dimension in real life - you want to run your fingers along the ridges. The brown bow is from the Ribbon Splendor die. 

Finally, this card is "From the Heart." I didn't end up using the blue two-layer die-cut thread for my first card, and I had one unused floral spool where the stamping was off center a bit, so I combined them together and it turns out you don't notice the spacing when the die-cut thread is covering the middle! 

The "From the Heart" sentiment called for two hearts on the background. I added some of the die-cut buttons I hadn't used earlier, and guided the paper thread through the needle. The tiny gold heart is a leftover piece from the Maker's Essentials scissors die! I thought it was a cute addition and another reference to the sentiment. 

I was pretty happy with my main two projects, but super excited I got three bonus projects from what was left on my desk! Thanks so much for checking everything out! I hope you found an idea to file away!
