Greeting Cards with Cutwork Lace

You can get interesting results when you embroider cutwork lace designs on tulle. Here we show how to use cutwork lace designs embroidered on tulle to make greeting cards.

You will need water-soluble stabilizer, tulle, card stack, embroidery threads and adhesive spray.
Note: If you're using printable card stack, print the greeting first, following the instructions of the manufacturer.

Step One: Hoop a layer of tulle with two layers of water-soluble stabilizer. Embroider the design. We embroidered Christmas Ornaments with silver metallic thread.

Step Two: Cut away the excess tulle and stabilizer. Place the design into a bowl of warm water to melt the stabilizer. Then spread it neatly and leave to air dry. When dry, press carefully with steam.

Step Three: Spray the back of the design with liquid adhesive and place it over a card stack. Press. Follow the instructions on the spray - you might have to leave the card pressed down for some time.

This card features Christmas Bells design embroidered in variegated thread.
