I have been cross-stitching and crocheting for many years. Love combining them with card making.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Yes! Love the stitching added to cards for such a unique look! My grandma tried to teach me to crochet when I was a kid, but could not sit still and focus :( But then my daughter teaches herself all kinds of things like crocheting by watching videos lol!

[@mtone42]

Rebecca - keep these cross stitching videos coming!! I am like you stitched years ago and picking it up again to add to my love of card making. I am so excited to find these kits as that is what I need the most are the designs already made! The Waffle Flower video for stitching was wonderful also! Looking forward to seeing what comes next!! Thank you again for this delightful video!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Isn't it so fun to pick the cross stitching up again?! I love everything Waffle Flower does! Yes, I am excited to see more of their stitching kits too! Thank YOU for spending time with me!💕

[@patriciatoscano9752]

Used to love cross stitching when I was younger as well, I might have to try this out … very nostalgic ❤️

[@RebeccaKeppel]

That's how I felt too!! Reminds me of slightly slower paced days :)

[@dianerosati4973]

WOW!!!! Truly jam packed with loads of goodies!!! I love cross stitching, but think I need to get more experience in my card making skills before I try to integrate a new technique 🤣🤣🤣. The card was sweet, and the cross stitching adds a ‘homey warmth’ to it ,if that makes sense. Again thank you for the giggles!! You never disappoint !!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Yes, when they say Want it All, they mean it lolol! I love kits like that where you really don't need to go outside the kit for anything at all! I totally know what you mean. The cross stitch adds a real sense of nostalgia to it! Again, thank YOU for watching all the way until the end!💕

[@jennifermitchell5536]

Wow you make it look so easy! You’re a great teacher ! Thanks RK!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Thanks so much JM! You're the best!💕

[@vickidavis4207]

Fun and pretty! I used to cross stitch all the time before I started making cards. Samplers on really tiny linen. 💖

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Thanks, Vicki! Oh those sound beautiful! I bet you would fly through these patterns then! I am a super slow stitcher. 😅

[@carolehenderson2997]

I used to cross a lot when I was in my 20s and 30s but I can't see well enough anymore to do it. But I love it, and I love it on the cards!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

I hadn't done any in a long time, but like you I noticed my eyesight is way different. I was able to get it done because the die cut holes are much larger than the tiny holes in the canvas, but still I needed a bright light on to get anything done!

[@stephanieloughead4479]

Rebecca you did an amazing job. I haven't cross stitched in years. I use to love to but my eyes aren't the greatest so I need to get a brighter light to work under. This is such a great idea and I am glad that you did a video on this. It's so pretty and elegant. Thank you so much 😊

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Thank you so much, Stephanie! I found the same to be true for me! We were watching a hockey game while I was stitching and I needed the living room lights fully on! I may need to try out one of those OTT lamps but I know they can get pretty pricey. 😬 I too love the idea of combining these two crafts! Thank you so much for watching!💕

[@1jenniferlala]

I’ve done cross stitching and that’s the appeal for me.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

I'd forgotten how relaxing cross stitching can be!

[@joterry7928]

I used to be an avid cross stitcher, but my eyesight just couldn’t do it anymore. BUT guess what? I can do the Waffle Flower cut outs. I think it’s the bigger holes. I’m so excited that I can make these fun projects again! 🎉🎊😁

[@stamperssecret5379]

Working on developing a brand new stamp tool. Cathy Z and Gina K are helping me. I’m really excited. Just as soon as everything has been completed, I’ll get one out to you, naturally.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Oh yay! I am super excited for you my friend.💕

[@kathybogner6646]

Cross stitching! So much work but they are beautiful. Wouldn’t make this for just anyone!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Definitely a ton of work, but also a good way to unwind at the end of the day! A great way for me to not be on my phone at night too :) But I 100% agree, this is a special one saved for someone special!

[@jennifer1996xxxx]

You are amazing! I have been cross stitching for decades, and only been making cards for a year. I love the idea of combining the two arts! Thank you 🤩

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Oh then you will LOVE these kits and fly through these patterns! I am SUPER SLOW lol, but I do find the stitching relaxing!

[@CraftyReneeCreates]

Loved cross stitching as a kid as well. Would love to try it again in my card making! Tfs.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Right?! I remember when I was a kid my best friend's mom would take the two of us to a huge craft store and let us pick out little Christmas cross stitch kits! I had a bad habit of starting them and never finishing lol! But these are totally do-able!

[@CraftyReneeCreates]

@@RebeccaKeppel I still get those little Christmas cross stitch kits… I have like three of them in my craft room. Lol

[@RebeccaKeppel]

@@CraftyReneeCreates Oh I do love those little kits, but yeah I am sure I would buy a bunch and never finish them lol!

[@helenbanaszewski7017]

Love stitching for card I got this set

[@RebeccaKeppel]

It is such a nice homespun touch for a card! Hope you love it!

[@untidyfan]

I love cross stitching - I've been stitching off and on since I was eight, and I'd love to combine the two hobbies. I wish there was a pattern only option, but the cardmaker kit would probably be best for my stash.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

I used to cross stitch a bunch in elementary school too, but I haven't done any in a while and I am super slow now lol! You CAN just grab the pattern! :) Here's a link: • Patterns - StitchableCards --- ldli.co/e/p332yg3 [ STT ]

@@RebeccaKeppel Thank you so much! I missed that somehow. I appreciate the link!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

@@untidyfan You bet! Glad they have that option!

[@vayes7958]

Very cute

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Thank you! 😊

[@michelefrost734]

Oh wow, I love those! I have the sewing skills of a rabid hyena, but these kinda make me want to learn... I might have the time too, I fell and broke my hip (🙄 because I'm 90 or something), just had a rod and screws put in. Will have plenty of time to learn a new skill. Thanks, this video was great, I love what you made!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

OH NO Michele! A rod and screws!? That sounds so painful. 😭 I hope you are being well taken care of!💕 And while you're resting, maybe learning cross stitch could be fun???! You cracked me up with the visual of a rabid hyena. And honestly the backsides of any of my stitching projects bring the same visual to mind! LOL. I can't wrap my head around anyone whose back side of a cross stitch project looks as neat as the front! On a side note, I am hoping you don't have stairs in your house? I am realizing what an error we made buying a two story house years ago. Now we have an 100lb dog with knee issues and a 16 year old with multiple torn ligaments in her ankle. :( Should've bought the ranch style house. :\

[@michelefrost734]

@@RebeccaKeppel Your poor daughter! Those are the types of injuries that follow you throughout your life. But she's got a great momma looking after her 😉 And your doggie 💔. My brother in law really likes Harlequin Great Danes, has raised several throughout the years. Unfortunately they're prone to musculoskeletal problems, like any of the big doggies. So hard to watch them struggle... Oh, and of course we have a two story house. I now have one walker for upstairs and one downstairs. Totally ridiculous. And I can't drive yet, which is maddening. But this too shall pass. I hope.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

@@michelefrost734 It is so true unfortunately. In 9th grade she tore a several ligaments in her left ankle. Last year the season was cancelled bc of everything going on and this year she tore several in the right ankle. :( She wasn't hoping to play on a division team in college or anything, but it is the one physical activity that she actually enjoys. The vet thinks our boy has some Dane in him and did mention that they do tend to have tears in their knee ligaments. :( We are hoping to see a physical therapist and see if we can avoid surgery. Drats a two story house for you too. What were we thinking?! I'm sure it is super frustrating feeling stuck, but if you fully take care of it and heal it now, you'll be so much happier in the long run. Just think...more time to craft! Hoping you are pain free and back to driving asap!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hey there, my friend. I never learned cross stitch. I learned embroidery, crochet and knitting. I wish I had learned though. Have you been cross stitching long? Yours are so sweet. Once again, your color choices are incredible.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Hi Debby! Isn't that funny! My grandma crocheted and I really wish I had asked her to teach me. :( But I used to cross stitch in elementary school. My best friend and I would go to this huge craft store at Christmas and her mom bought us this little kits to cross stitch ornaments. I loved them, but I had a bad habit of starting them and never finishing them. This kit is called Want it All and they mean it lol! Everything was included and I was so happy to complete the little roses!

[@stamperssecret5379]

@@RebeccaKeppel my 6th grade teacher taught anyone who wanted to learn how to knit during recess everyday. My class had about 50 kids. Small town, great way to grow up. Out of 50 in my class, only 2 kids who started with our graduating class, graduated together. Short way 48 of us started kindergarten and all graduated high school together. It’s like having 50 brothers and sisters. Lol. I am proud of being from a farming town in Iowa.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

@@stamperssecret5379 Aaaw what a sweet teacher! Are you still in touch with folks from your class!?

[@olivia8979]

Very interesting. I am personally not interested in cross-stitching, but that would be a fabulous gift for my sister. So I may bet one card kit ... but not a subscription. Randomly: I love that top you are wearing.

[@RebeccaKeppel]

This would make a great gift! Especially because everything is included that she would need! LOL, thanks! I got it from Loft.

[@victoriakellogg6459]

What an Awesome way to make ephemera for your cards! Becca, to be honest, I have never been a cross stitcher & am not really sure how to do it?!? I MAY try & it might ne easier on cardstock too??? Maybe have to try! You make it look VERY doable! TFS my friend! Hugs my VERY crafty Sister XOXOXO

[@RebeccaKeppel]

I do think it is easier on cardstock because the holes are bigger than they are in the fabric kits! At least for me and my eyesight they are easier 😅 Thanks so much, my friend!💕

[@pameladearing2969]

You did a great job demonstrating. I would probably want “the everything” package but it is quite expensive, in my opinion. I will have to think about this one!

[@RebeccaKeppel]

So glad to hear that! I want to share all the info without droning on lol! I definitely liked having the Want it All kit, but yes, it is the most expensive option. I do like how they have various subscription options that would save some money though! And they do have individual products as add ons depending on what you already have in your stash.

[@helenbanaszewski7017]

Good job

[@RebeccaKeppel]

Thank you!

[@joycegillepie9707]

I would love just to buy 1 kit I love to cross stitch

[@RebeccaKeppel]

It looks like they now have mini kits available that you can just buy one of: shrsl.com/49523
