Bella loves Christmas

Hi all! Hope you are not sick of my holiday cards, because here is one more. =)


I used the adorable Bella Loves Christmas from Mo's Digital Pencil for this card. Don't you love her? Bella is such a delightful character and she always makes me smile!


I got a few questiosn about stitching around rounded corners and on circles and ovals. Well. you all know that I am not that good, but here is how I do it. When I am stitching on circles or ovals, I press on my foot press the lightest I can so that it goes slowly as I turn the paper according to the curves. I think the "correct" or better way to do it is to use the needle down button and do it stitch by stitch to get the perfect result, but I usually don't have enough patience for that. LOL! =)  The only time that I do stitch by stitch is when the sentiment panels are small, but sometimes I just give up on stitching on these all together like the one on this card. Hope whoever receives this card don't mind that! =)


Of course things go wrong all the time for me when it comes to machine stitching. For this one, I added the Glossy Accents on the ornament before I stitch the circle on the scalloped circle and the dimension of the GA actually skewed the stitching. That's why there is a little snowflake over there...


Here is a look of the inside of the card. I paired the image with Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather collection and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.

That's all for today. Have a lovely day! =)
