Hello and welcome to my blog. For today’s Inspirational Blog Hop, I made an embroidered frame using the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month and variegated thread.
The die has been designed to apply stitches on a C6 panel (4-1/2″ x 5-1/2″ inches) but I wanted to do something else also to share extra ideas with you.

Die-Cut Embroidered Frame
While doing the needlework, I couldn’t avoid thinking that embroidery is a luxury for a busy mum and professional crafter like me but I decided to invest an afternoon in this project.
I sat down in front of the telly while my family was there too and I chilled out.
So I first, I die cut the panel using dies included in the Spellbinders Large Die of the Month.
Then, I chose the tread colours and I got comfy.
I took my time to do the needlework. Even though I was interrupted all the time ansd watching tv while crafting slows you down.
I applied the next stitches:
- Stem and Chain for the Stem or branches
- Straight Stitch for the leaves
- French Knot on the center of the flowers
- Back Stitch for the outer line.
- I also made a few loops in the center of some flowers.
I decided to create a frame instead of a card . It measures 6-1/2 ” x 7 -1/4″ inches.
As I also wanted to add a sentiment. I used Grateful Swan Glimmer plates and Polished Bras Hot Foil. It think is was a great addition.
This is how the frame looks in the back (so you can have a better idea).
You can seal the back by adhering a piece of cardstock.
To make the frame I used a die set by Tonic sold out and retired in less than a year but very similar to the die set in the UK here and in the USA here.
You can also see other embroidery card samples with in the video- post here or in the video tutorial below.

So cute! That framed photo is awesome. But I have to say the flowers not stitched are cool too!
Love the idea for a frame. The boxes are a fun idea too. Great for a small gift.
Really beautiful frame. Would make a lovely gift.
What a pretty picture. The embroidery is perfect for the frame.
Thanks for different ideas to use the dies. Love the frame and stitching.
Beautiful frame and projects! Love them.
The stitching looks so pretty. I have never done this before, but would like to.
You did a lovely job with the embroidery; but I love the simplicity of the card using the un-embroidered flowers. I have to say I loved the bird in a cage; that one took my heart!
I love the combination of colors and stitches you used. Love the idea of framing it, if you spend so much time creating it, why not frame it? The frame looks so thin, would love to see how that’s made. TFS!
So pretty and colorful. Reminds me of a fiesta.
Woah! loads and loads of inspiration here! Love the idea of making a frame using these dies <3
Love all your projects!! The frame is a great piece for the stitching die!
Beautiful frame!!
Such a beautiful interpretation of this gorgeous die set.

Beautiful stitching!
you never disappoint – always many beautiful projects – and today your art is absolutely beautiful!
Great projects.
To stitch or not to stitch, that is the question. Lucky for me you showed me I can do either and will have a beautiful result either way.
Beautiful!
I never thought about using the dies WITHOUT stitching them with thread.
I love the stitching so much!! And so creative. That gate is just stunning!!
I’m going to ooh and ahh over it all day. 😉

Beautiful colors in the stitched card. And the frame around it looks like wood! I also like the Anchor card. Very clever to surround it with flowers. Another nice & versatile release from Spellbinders.
Sweet frame and card too! My grandma started me with embroidery when I was a little tyke. Now we can combine stitchery with paper crafting… how awesome is that!
