For embroidery, you will need:

  • pieces of light-colored cotton fabric,
  • light-weight cut-away stabilizer and
  • temporary fabric adhesive, such as KK 2000 by Sulky, or similar by other companies.

For the cards, you will need:
  • cardstock,
  • Easter-themed stickers (optional),
  • multi-colored scotch tape for scrapbooking, self-adhesive ribbons, or regular ribbons and white glue.

Embroidering :

Cut your fabrics into 4" x 4" squares and the stabilizer into 8" x 8" squares. Spray temporary adhesive onto the back of the fabric square and adhere it in the center of the stabilizer square.

Do not remove the stabilizer under the fabric. Trim the edges by cutting away the excess fabric and stabilizer around the embroidery.

Making the Card:

Fold the cardstock sheets in half widthwise. Press the crease with something heavy.

Place several drops of white glue on the back of the embroidery. Press it onto the right half of the cardstock.

Place the cards under something heavy and wait for the glue to dry.

...or with regular ribbon, trim or braid. To attach the regular ribbon, apply a few small drops of glue to the back of the ribbon and press it to the card with your fingers. You will also have to wait until the glue dries.
