| We used the design Snowman
Cutwork Lace to create these gorgeous seasonal greeting cards. They're
a lot of fun to make, and great to give and receive. |
|
You will need:
-
Scrapbook paper. You can choose whichever color and texture that you like;
-
Cardstock. Again the colors are up to you, but winter or Christmas colors
like green, red or blue work well;
-
Border punches for paper (you can find them in the scrapbooking sections
of craft stores);
-
Snowflakes or star punches, or snowflake and stars stickers;
-
Any other small winter-themed embellishments;
-
White paper glue.
|
| Step One: Embroider the Snowman design as a freestanding ornament
as explained in the instructions. |
| Step Two: Cut decorative paper into strips about 1" wide.
Using borders punches, decorate the strips to give them a lace-like look. |
|
| Using star or snowflakes punches, make stars/snowflakes. |
|
Step Three: Fold a sheet of cardstock in half. Press the fold
line to make a crease.
Apply some glue to the back of the embroidery. Position it on the front
of the card. Press with your hands. Place under a heavy weight, such
as a few books, for some time to let the glue dry. Note: The drying time
depends on your glue. Read the manufacturer's instructions. |
|
| Step Four: Adhere the lace borders around the embroidery.
Add some stars or snowflakes. |
|
| On the second card we used ready-made snowflakes available in the scrapbooking
sections of craft stores. |

|
The cards are ready. Enjoy!

|
Happy Stitching!
