Hello! Laura here and I am so excited to share my clean and colorful cards featuring these fun new dies from the 2024 Stitchmas kit along with the stitch along kit . Watch video tutorial below or on our Youtube Channel :
My first card features the tree die along with coordinating stitching tree die. I die-cut both of these into white cardstock. Using seven shades of the floss included in the stitch along kit I stitched seven different portions of the tree in rainbow order.

This was so much easier than I expected it to be. I embossed a sentiment from the stamp set included in the stitch along kit in white onto Cosmic Sky cardstock, which is also included in the stitch along kit . I added some Fashion Oyster pearls to the stitched tree for embellishment. 12 Days of Stitchmas-Day 2 with Laura Bassen, BD-0864, ADV-006 My second card uses the same tree die, but this time I used it by itself, without the stitching coordinating die. I created a window opening into white cardstock. Then on a separate panel of cardstock, I adhered strips of Spellbinders solid colored cardstock. Using the sentiment stamp set included in the stitch along kit , I embossed a sentiment in gold onto the die-cut tree panel. 12 Days of Stitchmas-Day 2 with Laura Bassen, BD-0864, ADV-006 I popped up the panel over the stripped-up panel and then adhered both onto a Pink Sand card base. I added one large Fashion Oyster to the top of the tree for embellishment. I love how clean and colorful both of these cards came out. I hope you enjoyed these projects. Thanks so much for joining me, and stay tuned for more incredible inspiration using the rest of the 12 Days of Stitchmas Kit !
