The August Stitching Die of the Month is Frank-n-Stitch. It's a mummy, perfect for stitching. As always, you can stitch or not, your choice. There is an insert for each die that can be stitched, so if you decide to skip it, just don't include the 2nd die.
You can use these dies on an A2 card front, they fit perfectly, but I decided to make a tag. I diecut the rounded tag from the Torn Edges CardLab dieset. I had an already inked piece of cardstock in my stash, this one is green.
I thought it'd be cute to stitch the bandages, there are 3 bandage dies but I made 4 strips. I layered some gauzy ribbon type fabric I've had in my stash for years. it has unfinished edges so I pulled it a bit and frayed it. I glued it to my tag in a few areas, leaving an area plain for the mouth.
After I stitched the diecuts, I placed inked the edges with brown ink and glued them on top of the fabric. They were longer than the width of my tag so I wrapped them around the back and glued and taped them to the back. This made them a bit raised on the front which looks good around the mouth.
There are eye dies but I decided to use the googly eyes from Spellbinders, they were leftover from the Chattering Mouth card. The eyebrows and cheeks are cut from scrap paper. The ribbon is orange glitter ribbon I've had for 20 years that I used when my daughter was in Preschool for a Halloween project!
After I was done, I went to the store and bought a bag of candy corn. I attached the tag to the bag and thought it'd be funny to make some candy corn for inside the mouth. You can use any small triangles, I had the Bonus Monster Face on my desk, there are "teeth" triangles so I cut a few of those and colored them with markers.
