Stitched Cacti Hugs – Adding Depth to Images
Hi friends! Happy Wednesday!! Please welcome special guest Channin Pelletier on our blog today representing the awesome folks at Waffle Flower Crafts! I adore these stitched stamps and the pops of gradient stamping to add depth makes for such a neat pop in the design! Be sure to read on and watch the video for more information! Enjoy!
Hello everyone! It’s Channin here and I am extremely excited to be here with you all at the Simon Says Stamp blog sharing a card I made with Waffle Flower Crafts’ newest products!
In this spring release, Waffle Flower has four cross-stitch inspired layering stamp sets that are seriously the bees knees! I have been having so so much fun playing with these stamp sets, they are just so fun to create with!
In my video I showcase my personal favorite out of all the cross-stitched sets, the Stitched Cacti Stamp Set. I will also feature the gorgeous new Patched Layers Die set as well! These dies are so cool because they add a beautiful blanket stitched border to your card panels which works perfectly with the new stitched stamp sets!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
I will also demonstrate an amazing trick I learned that will help you to position your layering stamps perfectly and I will also demonstrate how I add depth to the stitched images with shading!

Before I got into paper crafting I did a
lot of cross-stitch embroidery. Love
this release from Waffle Flower – they
had several sets with “embroidery”.
Now I can have my embroidery and stamp
too.
