Collection of Cross Stitch Boxes

I mentioned earlier that one of my New Year's resolutions was to really focus on using extra stash in my studio that has been laying around forever taking up space. Included in this stash is a collection of vintage wooden boxes I had bought with the intentions of finishing them with cross stitch patterns. These boxes came in 6x6 and 8x8 sizes and take up a whole lot of room all together, so I really buckled down with the intent to get these things completed and set aside. Here is the finished collection so far.

Apples for Sale!

Okay so I’m a little late for apple season but I was so inspired by this frame I just had to stitch up something apple-specific. I was lucky to have one in my possession from Little House Needleworks. The colors were spot-on and I only had to make a few tweaks to get the main design to fit inside the 4x6” opening.

Fall is my favorite season so I really got into this project. I even burned my Macintosh Spice Yankee Candle while stitching. :)

Handmade Dog Thank You Card

Today I'm featuring one of my dog thank you cards from my studio and Etsy shop.

This card features a digi stamp from Meljens that was colored with Prismacolor Pencils and chalks. The paper is from My Mind's Eye and was layered with coordinating patterns. Both the image and sentiment were adhered with foam tape for added dimension.

You Take the Cupcake

Hi everyone!

Today I'm posting two cards using similar stamps from Mo's Digital Pencil and similar paper from My Mind's Eye. When I went to start crafting these two cards I realized the similarities right away and just went with it. I colored the stamps with Prismacolor Pencils and used some chalk around the edges. I layered the DP and then added the paper-punched flowers.
