Your cards are always so cute! I love them. I think I still have a couple that you gave me years ago. I can’t part with them.
LOVE these! And I’m so happy I saw them… they made the perfect card for Mother’s day. Thanks for all of your inspiring ideas!
These are really cute, you should sell them!
Thanks, Alyssa!
Allison – I am glad you made them and were able to give them to Moms. If you have pictures of what you made, send them my way. I would love to see them.
Vanessa – They are more fun to just make as a craft and I get to share the pattern with all of you!
What a great idea. I may have to do that with my students.
Those are so pretty! I think the different colored background/frames make it look extra-special. Thanks for sharing!
What’s the minimum weight of cardstock do you recommend? Can stitching be done with thin paper?
Good question. I’ve done with all kinds, as I tend to use just what I have around. I’ve done pretty thin cardstock and a lot thicker. If it’s thinner, just be careful not to pull the thread through too fast, as it has torn the hole bigger for me. You could even use less thread per embroidery floss, like 4-5 strands instead of 6.
I LOVE this idea. Thank you so much for posting it. I’ve added a link to it from my blog because I love it so much. As my website suggests, I’m new to crafting and am always looking for easy ideas to share with my readers.
what are you using to punch the holes?
I have just started not to long ago doing the stitching cards. I love to come to your site to see the different patterns that you have done and the ones that you share. I have a question though, when you have your card, then you start ouyt with a top color then you put your stitched patterns on top. Do you normally use the same colors together ( like if you do something in pink do you put in top pink paper? I have really enjoyed this so far and I would like some additional information if you would not mind. Thank you so much in advance
