These hand-stitched cards are simple and fun to make. I’ve been stitching them for quite a few years now and have shared many patterns in my Card Patterns category. Today I’ve taken a video of me stitching a Gift Box Greeting Card for you to see just how easy it is. You can follow right along.

Cute! love it marie!
So cute!
I’ve been wanting to make some of your cute cards! Thanks for the tutorial!
So cute. I definitely need to do this one. I love the scrapbook paper border.
I love this idea! And I love all of the patterns you have so far. I want to try and make them all. I know my girls will want to make some. They will make cute gifts! I don’t know if you come up with your own patterns, but if you do, I have a few suggestions! How about a snowflake and a christmas tree! Or even like a leaf (for fall). Thanks for showing these! They are GREAT!
Aww, this is so sweet! Thanks so much for sharing, I’ll be linking.
