Sticker Cross Stitch...Yes, Really!
I am a huge fan of cross stitch, but I am really not good at it. I am always in awe at the straight lines and the even stitches but it is just something that I cannot seem to master, no matter how hard I try!
As soon as I saw the Sticker Stitches from SRM I knew that I had to give a Sticker Cross Stitch a try!

Isn't it perfection!? I just LOVE this look and even more so how easy it is to accomplish!
Here is a quick tutorial:
1. Cut a small piece of paper for your background and select the sticker you want to use. I am using the flower patterned sticker from the Sticker Stitches #58003, Black. Cut a strip of 12 from your stitches and adhere about 1-1/2" down from your top edge of your paper.
2. Cut another strip of 12 and adhere it on your first strip. Note: I wanted to keep my pattern close, so I adhered my sticker on top of the existing sticker, lining up the edges of the pattern. You can space them out more for a different look!
3. Next cut a strip of 10 and adhere it under the second row as shown.
4. Cut a second strip of 10 and adhere it under the strip placed above.
5. Next cut a strip of 8 and adhere it under your second row of 10 as shown.
6. Cut a strip of 6 and adhere is under your row of 8, centering.
7. Cut a strip of 4 and adhere is under your row of 6 as shown.
8. Finally, cut a strip of 2 and adhere it under your row of 4 as shown. This completes the bottom of the heart.
9. For the top of the heart we will create two rows above the first line of 12. First cut a strip of 4 and adhere it one pattern block in from the left edge as shown.
10. Next cut a second strip of 4 and adhere it in one pattern black from the right edge as shown.
11. To finish the top, cut two 2 strips and adhere each above the rows of 4, centering as shown in the photo.
12. You can create all kinds of looks using this same pattern. Here is a photo of one that I created on white cardstock using the small "x" pattern stitches!
