Michelle, I loved your first ever Make it Monday video….awesome job and what a darling Mother’s Day Card! I love the bit of stitching and the dies you used, some of my favorites and the gingham bow with embossed polka dots just perfect! Congratulations!!!!!!
What a wonderful way to start the week! Congrats, Michelle, on your first and perfectly charming PTI video! Loved it from start to finish. Can’t wait to play along!
Even thought I’m a quilter, I find the thought of stitching on my cards a bit intimidating. Love this idea of just punching a few holes and stitching through them to make a simple stem. Love the different layers of dimension (popping the center flower, layering the center square on a background square, the embossing on the card base. Just lovely!
Pretty card
Great video, congratulations! Pretty, pretty cards, such a fun technique!
BEAUTIFUL JOB, Michelle! I love how easy your card came together & just HOW SWEET it is! SUPER JOB on your video!!! 😉

Gorgeous, great video.
Enjoyed your video for this sweet card!
So Cute! Love the colors you used too. Great Video.
Michelle, your card is fabulous! I really loved the idea and so glad I gave it a try too!
Great job on your first video, Michelle! Love your sweet Mother’s Day card! Yes, I need to make more Mother’s Day cards so I’ll definitely be in on your challenge. 😉
What darling cards you made! I just got a stitching die with the idea of getting back to some cross stitching & starting with just doing some stems is what I need! Great challenge!
Congrats on your first video, Michelle! It was very well done. Love what you did for this beautiful Morher’s Day card. Thanks for the tip on using that guide to help stitch straight lines for your stems. Now I need some green cord or DMC floss. Fun challenge!
Michelle,
Great video. Can you tell us who made the piercing guide you have. I know you said you have had it awhile. It looks like a nifty tool.

Michelle, you did such a great job on your video, and I love this idea! Such a fun detail! Your samples were fantastic, and I look forward to trying this out.
Love your “first” MIM video, Michelle, great job! The stitch stems and your flower images are so cute on this sweet card.
Great video! What fun project…I will definitely have to do this one! It is really nice to see all you DT members doing the MIM…thanks for your efforts!
Fabulous projects Michelle and congratulations on your first MIM video! Beautiful projects all around!!
What a pretty card using Simple Stitched Stems! A great way to start the kick off this month!
so cute technique!!! I love the details
Very good video! Lovely card
Loved your video, Michelle, and how cute your Mother’s Day card turned out. What really intrigued me was the “stitched square base” as you called it that you used as your template to pierce the cardstock for stitching the flower stems. What is this really called, and where can I find one? This is the perfect size to keep with my other tools for card making. I’ve already made a call to my local scrapbooking store, and they have no clue what this is or how to get it. I would greatly appreciate your input. Thank you!
