A Stitched Season Suite Collection | July Online Exclusives Sneak Peek -

On Friday’s Live with Michele, I created this festive Christmas card using the A Stitched Season Suite Collection by Stampin’ Up!®. This beautiful suite is part of the upcoming July Online Exclusives, and I couldn’t wait to have a play and share a little sneak peek with you.

As soon as I opened this suite, I was inspired by the combination of traditional Christmas imagery and beautiful patterned papers. The collection offers plenty of opportunities to create cards, scrapbook pages, and other festive projects.

Now, I know what you’re thinking—Christmas products already? However, as crafters, we know that the holiday season arrives much faster than we expect. Therefore, getting started early means we can enjoy the creative process without the last-minute rush.

Creating the Patchwork Stocking

One of my favourite elements in the suite is the Christmas Stocking Die. Naturally, I couldn’t resist adding my own creative twist. Instead of using the stocking as designed, I decided to create a patchwork-style foot using one of the quilt-inspired patterns from the Stitched Season Designer Series Paper.

To create this effect, I carefully cut individual squares from the designer paper and positioned them over the stocking die before cutting. Although this took a little extra time, the result was well worth the effort. In fact, the paper piecing added texture, interest, and a handmade charm that I absolutely love.
