With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I decided that I would use up some of my scraps to make a simple stitched card. The Time to Celebrate stamp set is chock full of sentiments and any one of them could be use on this design.
To create the background of the card, I dug through all my paper scraps and cut diamond shapes using the Aurora Scrapbooking Thin Cuts. This is one of our newest stamp sets with matching metal dies which are perfect for creating backgrounds.
After I had created the background, I added a few lines of stitching with some light pink thread. I love the classic look of pink and blue together.
The sentiment was stamped onto Vellum using Sapphire Pigment Ink, sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder, heat set, and added to the card. To frame the design, I added a Sapphire Blue Stitched frame. The Time to Celebrate Stamp set has “build-able” sentiments to match your card. This one could say “Father” or “Mother” depending on who you are making it for.
For those of you who are members of my VIP Group, you will be able to get a peek at how I made this card tomorrow, during our National Scrapbooking Day celebration. I can’t wait to show you how simple it was to make.

Love this, I love the diamond shapes and the papers all are awesome together, so pretty!
Thank you, Brandi. It was a fun one to make.
What a great way to use up scraps. I love the stitching. Great Card!
Thank you! I am sure you have some scraps you could use up for this type of card!
Pretty card!
Thank you
Gorgeous as always! Love the creative use of the die cut and how you dressed it up with the stitching. My sewing machine is going to get a workout with this new set!
Never considered the shapes from the new thin cuts for this option – love it!
I try to use everything I buy at least five times – otherwise I gift it away. This is a set I know I will use more than five times just because of those thin cuts.
Wow, wow, wow! I love the soft colour combo of this card and the striking background. Just gorgeous!
Thank you, Lauren. You could create a whole new look with a different set of paper scraps.
Do you mind me asking what you used to created the holes that you stitched in? This card is beautiful!
I used a stitching guide.
You’ve inspired me once again! Time to get creative with those Thin Cuts.
Have fun!
