How to Stitch on a Layout

Hello everyone! This is Maryám and today I am here with you to share some ideas on how To Stitch on a Layout.

One of my favorite techniques is to add hand stitching to my layouts. It could be just a little circle or an entire piece. I find it so relaxing and of the coolest things about this technique is that you can do several tasks at a time, for example, watch a series on Netflix while you stitch. Awesome, right?!

For today’s project, I used the Heart Wreath Cut File. It is such a beautiful design, and as you may have seen before, some of the girls from the Design Team have already used it, and I also wanted to feature in today’s layout but in a slightly different way.

To create this really fun effect on my cut file, I started by sketching the design using my Silhouette Cameo. After that, with the help of a paper piercer tool, I punch some holes all the way around the heart wreath. Once I finish with that, I went ahead a pull out some embroidery thread that coordinated with the Rainbow Roux collection and organized them in rainbow order.

After some hours stitching, I finish the piece, fussy cut around it, and took some coordinating liquid watercolors and added some more fun to the page.

Since I spent so many hours stitching the heart wreath, I decided to keep it as the main focus of my layout and add just a few simple embellishments here and there.
