| Here is another idea on how to use Battenberg lace motifs for greeting
cards. This method is a little bit more complicated than the one described
in Greeting
Cards with Battenberg Lace Motifs. However, the result is a more elegant
card in which the beauty of the lace is emphasized. |
|
| For these cards we used the Battenberg
Apple Basket Lace and Battenberg
Fruit Basket Lace. These cards are great for the Fall season holidays. |
|
| Step One: Embroider the motif, following the directions on how
to embroider Battenberg lace. |
| Step Two: Place the finished motif on a card. Using a sewing
needle or the needle end of a compass, punch the card through the openings
in the lace. Make punches in the center of the handle and along the edge
of the basket, about 1/4" from the edge. |
|
| Step Three: With a pencil, join the holes that you punched. |
|
| Step Four: Using a craft knife, cut out the shape inside
the outline. |
|
| Step Five: Place some glue along the edges of the shape. |
|
| Step Six: Place the embroidered motif over the glue. Press.
Place under a press for some time until the glue dries. |
|
| Your greeting card is ready! |
|
| We hope that you liked our idea and will come up with many of
your own. |
