Stitched Hearts Template Layout


Thursday, December 28, 2017

Hey-howdy-hi! I have a new layout and process video to share with you today featuring my Stitched Hearts Template Silhouette cut file and my brand new collection with Pink Paislee called Pick-Me-Up - available mid-January!

Let's start with the process video so you can see this cut file in action!

Basically the cut file is a time-saver and perfectionist helper :) Rather than piercing all of the stitching holes by hand, I put the cut file in a new Silhouette document, size it, get all the machine settings right, and then walk away to run errands or do chores while the Cameo pierces all the holes. When I come back maybe 15 minutes later the paper is all ready for stitching!

I have been on a chain link stitch lately - I LOVE the texture it creates and how the colors really pop. I went to Hobby Lobby with one of my Pick-Me-Up patterned papers and picked out any and all threads that matched! We went to Wallace, Idaho for Christmas last weekend and the drive there is about 6 hours long - perfect for a stitching project! I think the entire stitching portion took about 10 hours. Yes yes I know, crazy ol' me ;) But it makes time fly by in the car!

Once I finished the stitching it was time for the photo, title, journaling, and embellishments - all of the things that make a scrapbook page a scrapbook page! I chose a silly photo of me and Jane - I thought it was in our home but when I turned it over to add adhesive I noticed printed on the back it said "Sintra, Portugal!" Oh yeah! This was taken on the metro on the way there from Lisbon! So my journaling is very simple but I am going to add a tag behind the photo with more information about this day. I filled in the heart with all kinds of flowers and added lots of teeny tiny chipboard heart stickers.

I hope you are inspired to try my Stitched Hearts Template Silhouette cut file and keep your eyes peeled for Pick-Me-Up coming soon!
