Cross Stitch Cards
Monday April 14, 2008
I have made greeting cards for several occasions using small Cross Stitch designs and other elements, so I think I will have time to make the invitations if I get started soon.

I’ve made tons of cards over the past 16 years, Christmas, birthday and other cards, I even make my own 3 fold mounts for them. Sometimes its difficult to see how to make a particular card with some cross stitch, but it usually comes to me, I make the cross stitch and then the mount, and fill in the inside with the greetings or whatever. If you make a simple half fold card with the stitching mounted inside then you can place a half fold sheet of paper inside, which if you are clever enough and have the right programme, you can print on the printer and incorporate part of the design as a printed design, or even a picture.
