For the greeting cards below we used pre-cut card stacks and the
FSL designs from the Valentine
Lace Set. Embroider the lace as we recommend in the General
Guidelines to Creating FSL Ornaments. Air-dry, press and glue onto
a card stack.
|
|
| For this greeting card we used the FSL
Valentine Heart. Embroider the lace in the same way as the above patterns.
Out of cardstock cut a card of needed size and glue the heart onto it. |
|
| For the greeting cards embroidered right on paper, you will need cardstock
for cardmaking which is available in most craft stores in a variety of
colors and sizes. You will also need self-adhesive tear-away stabilizer,
a sharp 75/11 needle and 40-weight rayon or polyester embroidery threads.
If you prefer cotton threads, use 60-weight ones. |
|
| Step One: Out of the cardstock, cut a rectangle which will fit
inside your hoop. For my 5" x 7" hoop, this size is approximately 12" x
8". Fold it to get a card about 6" x 8". Hoop the self-adhesive stabilizer. |
|
| Remove the paper which covers the sticky side inside the hoop. Stick
the cardstack onto it. |
|
| Step Two: Make the embroidery. Remove the working piece from
the hoop and cut away the excess stabilizer. |
|
| For this humorous card we used the designs from the Amorous
Cats set. |
|
| For this elegant card we used the Date
design. |
|
|
The greeting card is ready. Enjoy!
