So now let's EXPLORE BEYOND with a FUN TECHNIQUE!
 This Card is made using the Distressed Edges Dies and Floral Ribbon Threader Dies

 

 My Finished Card uses the Scor Pal, Distressed Edges and the Flower from Floral Ribbon Threader Dies

Here is how I created the Pattern above.........

 

 Using the Scor-Pal score Cardstock every 1 inch. 

Turn paper and score again at every inch on diagonal.

 

Use the Flower from the Floral Ribbon Set inside each square.  Make sure to tape so you have the flower in the center of each square you choose before die cutting.

 

Take Dusty Concord Distress Marker and the Tim Holtz ruler and draw stitch marks on the score line.

Then die cut using the largest die from the Distressed Edges Set

 Leaving Die inside Distressed Edge Die, ink with Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves

By leaving Cardstock in the die it gives you a white crisp outside emboss line like this :)

 This is a closeup of the scoring, stitching, and flower cut outs.

Layer onto Seedless Preserves Cardstock using E6000 Spray Glue

 

Cut two of the rectangle dies from the Distress set (Largest in seedless, smallest in White)

Cut one flower outside from Floral Ribbon Die and Stamp SEW inside and draw stitches.

Stamp sentiment onto white Cardstock from Sew Sayings Clear Stamps.

Ink edges with Dusty Concord and add buttons to finish card.
