Good morning everyone! Welcome to day 3 of Memory Box's Blog Blitz. Today I used the new Stitched Tree Craft Die for my cards. There's a chance for you to win prizes by leaving a comment on each blog post this week.
For my cards I used the same technique of die cutting the tree onto kraft cardstock and used embroidery floss to fill in the design. Just by changing the background papers and adding a few embellishments you get totally different looks. I am showing you only one idea to stitch this tree, but there are so many more ways to use this die and I'm sure I'll be back with a few more ideas for you!
I die cut my tree onto a larger piece of kraft cardstock and then trimmed my background as needed for my card.
For this sample I kept the design simple. I thought it could be used for a more masculine card. The sentiment was white heat embossed onto the black cardstock mat.
For the second card I added a few more embellishments and gold heat embossed the sentiment. I used the plaid paper to give it a more country look.
I hope you enjoyed today's cards and don't forget to check back all week for some more great inspiration!

Love these, Donna! Thanks for highlighting this die, I missed it when I looked at the new release!

Great cards. The die makes very unique Christmas cards. Would be fun to do with sparkly thread.
Great die and beautiful cards!! I love the plaid paper and red dot accents. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love stitched cards Donna and your cards always beautiful. The die looks like a lot of fun.
Love this wonky Christmas tree on your cards.
Now this Tree Die looks like a lot of fun and something neat to do as we stay home! It would be fun to decorate in many different ways. Thanks for sharing with us!!!
I love your designs, and like that the die has the holes punched. I have a stamp but you have to punch all of the holes. Thanks, Phyllis

Fabulous cards, What a brilliant die for adding stitching to Christmas cards. xx
Cool die!
Stitching is such a fun and very different technique for Christmas cards. Love the plaid accent.
Your two cards are so pretty, Donna! Love the plaid paper you used for the background on the second one.
Beautiful cards Donna! I love the texture and interest from the stitching. Fun and creative new die.
I love the texture that the stitching adds to the card!
Great cards! I love stitching dies! This one is so simple but you’ve shown it provides a wonderful focus point on cards. Lots of dimension without a lot of bulk. I think it would be very relaxing to stitch up a bunch of these trees for my Christmas cards this year. Thanks for sharing!
What a FUN card for the holidays! It makes me want to get started on my holidays cards right now!!
So cool! I love this and may even have to try it! Thanks for sharing
Love this concept!
It’s fun to see how everything old is new again. We were using a similar technique when I began making cards YEARS ago. Thanks for the reminder–I like the design!
I love to stitch on paper. Love this tree that you did, and it’s a real inspiration to me. I’m a real fan of Memory Box dies and have so many of them which I love to pull out and make a card. I do a lot of my stitching when the television is on.
What an awesome stitched die. The tree looks amazing and adds all the texture that you need on a card! Love!
What a fun new die this is! Takes me back to how I started in crafting … cross stitching. Beautiful card!
What fun! I cannot wait to use this die! Thank you
Great job on both cards!
I especially like the second card, the Gold embossing with the Plaid background and the Red ornaments really stands out!
So many possibilities with this die, thanks for sharing and for the opportunity to win!
What a wonderful card. Love the stitching.
I love this stitched tree die and I like how the card looks
How fun and creative cards!! This new die is really different, thanks for the inspirations!!
Great Christmas cards! I love this clean and simple look with the stitched trees.
The white stitching looks great on the craft cardstock. Very fun cards!
Oh I love stitching on cards, I do mostly cross -stitch but this looks like it would be nice and quick but give that great extra touch of stitching!
Love these cards! So many cute ideas!
Wow this is a different idea! You can really personalize thus one!
Oh wow–I’m not commenting for most of the dies as I have so many. I’ll let others be in the running, but can’t pass on this fabulous tree! I love combining stitching with cardmaking! Your cards are fabulous!
Charming cards. I like how you could change it up by varying the thread and the order you stitch the holes. Could be a good Christmas project for kids too.
Very cool die, looks like it can be simple or complicated. Great inspiration pieces!
What a great die and loved how you demonstrated some different ways to use it. Great cards – thanks for sharing!
Wonderful card! Love this festive release!
wow, I like the stitching.
