Stitching Cut File 29 of 36: Paw Prints

The 29th of the 36 Cut Files for Stitching is Paw Prints!

Design Team Member Kelly Daye created this 'pawfect' page! She says, "I began by cutting the Paw Prints for Stitching out of white cardstock then before I began stitching I traced a paper heart on it with a pencil. My idea was to backstitch all the paws inside the heart with colored floss and outside the heart in white. We all love our pets so much and that’s why I wanted to stitch a heart into my layout. I topped my stitched background with Paige’s Flower Heart Cut File cut from Garden Shoppe Paper 2 and glued it to an offset cut from vellum. I decided my layout needed a frame so carefully cut 1/8" from all sides and taped it to another sheet of Paper 2. To add some shine I chain stitched around the frame with gold metallic thread. I filled out the heart with lots of tiny flower and leaf clusters, they’re printed from the Garden Shoppe digital collection. I always get the digital version of Paige’s collections, both to plan my layouts and to have endless ephemera. Not a fan of digital? You could also fussy cut flowers this size from the 6x8 Paper Pad. Sprinkled around the heart are buttons, both digital and Enamel Button Stickers from the collection. I topped the digital buttons with Diamond Glaze to help them match the shininess. I made my title from Thickers, Foam Phrase Stickers, and mini alphas from the 8-Page Sticker Book. Thank you so much for stopping by!"

She says, "This cut file was perfect to document a walk in the forest with our dog. For this layout I decided to stitch the paw prints from light green to dark green. The background as well as the embellishments on this layout are from Paige's Garden Shoppe collection!"
