We'd like to offer you a variety of greeting cards, which
you can easily make yourself. Any giftee will keep and treasure them for
long.
|
|
|
As you can see from the photo we offer you three types of cards.
|
|
| The mini-greeting cards are made with the help of die-cut card mounts
and our Christmas
Miniatures designs. Read more... |
|
| These larger greeting cards were also created using die-cut card mounts.
Designs you can use include the Nativity
Scene, Christmas
Embellishments Set II, Christmas
Ornaments, One-color
Angel Set I and others... |
|
| For this third type of Christmas Greeting Cards you will need Organza
(or cut-away stabilizer), extra-stable water soluble stabilizer, letter
size sheets of colored paper and letter size sheets of colored light corrugated
cardboard. |
|
| Step One: Choose any Christmas photo stitch design, such
as Christmas
Bells, Christmas
Bells II, Christmas
Card Set I, Christmas
Card Set II, Christmas
Card Set III, Christmas
Card Set IV, Christmas
Angel and others. Hoop the Organza together with 2 layers of the stabilizer
and stitch out your design. |
|
| Step Two: Cut away the excess stabilizer and put your embroidery
into a bowl of cold water for a couple of hours to remove the remaining
stabilizer. |
|
| Step Three: Spread the embroidery out on a towel to remove the
creases and leave it to dry in the air. Cut away the excess fabric. |
|
| Step Four: Fold a sheet of plain colored paper in two. |
|
| Step Five: Spray the reverse side of your embroidery with any
liquid adhesive, such as 404 Spray & Fix. Press the embroidery onto
the folded sheet of colored paper. Leave to dry. |
|
|
| Step Six: Measure your embroidery and add 1/2" to the figures
you get. Thus, if your embroidery measures 3" x 4 ", you will get 3 1/2"
x 4 1/2". This will be the size of the aperture of the card. On the reverse
side of a sheet of the corrugated paper draw a rectangle 3 1/2" x 4 1/2".
Cut it out with a sharp craft knife. |
|
| Step Seven: Spray adhesive on the reverse side of the corrugated
paper and place it over the sheet of colored paper with embroidery, so
that the embroidery is centered in the aperture. Press a little and leave
to dry. The results should look something like this. |
