Does anyone have any bright ideas for making greetings cards? My J-Club ladies have asked to do cards at our next meeting so I've been playing. Martine very kindly gave me permission to share her rose designs with them.<br /><br />
The pale green card is made by embroidering onto the folded card and sticking a second sheet on to cover the back. The middle two are embroidered onto small pieces of card, then cut out with fancy scissors and attached to a card with sticky pads to give a 3D effect. No need to worry about centering the design in the hoop for this method! The rather blobby flower was to see how cross stitch worked directly onto card - it did, but I made the stitches bigger than for fabric. The card on the far right is stitched on a paper doily.<br /><br />
The pale yellow card is not yet assembled. I embroidered the aperture to make it more interesting.<br /><br />
The dark green one is a scrap of hand embroidery I rescued and stuck to the card with bondaweb.

Note to everyone: when I get a design that I think would work for a card, I put in a "card shop" directory.
