Cross Stitch Cat Card 2018

Yes this card took a long time to make. The cross stitching went pretty fast of adding the beads took 2X a long. Then it took a few days to decide what sentiment to go with it. My daughter ask that I send it to one of her good friends since it looks like her cat Mo. 
Really have a good time with this Paper Smooches Cross Stitch Die!

Iris Folding for FabMo

I've taught the class many many times and it's always fun to watch people realize how easy these cards are to make. It's not the fast card on can make but it always turns out impressive!

More cross stitch cards 2018

Cross Stitch Backgrounds.
I've been having a lot of fun with the Paper Smooches cross stitch die. Being inspired by crafting guru, Jennifer Mcguire, I made this background using up the bag full of leftovers threads. Years ago (maybe 25+ years) a friend would send me all her left overs. Yes, I asked her to send me the leftovers. She and her daughter crossed stitched some amazing things! During my divorce I purged 90% of what I owned but the box of thread survived. It's so relaxing to just play with color and stitch away while binge listening, (because I don't really watch)what's on the T.V. The cards turn out colorful and happy. So glad the threads made it through the purge of 2011. :)
