It time for Christmas Cards so I thought I would try my hand at doing some embroidered cards for special friends and family...My first attempt and I love the results.... The designs are from Tattered Stitches and perfect for the holidays...I stitched the main embroidery design on Peltex, and then stitched the embroidered Peltex onto card stock with a decorative stitch border...easy and beautiful... For the ones with a greeting inside, I printed the card stock with a holiday greeting before I stitched the embroidery to the card stock...Last photo is the inside of a card with no greeting, so I can handwrite my holiday wishes...Beautiful even on the inside! Here is a link to Tattered Stitches for those interested in some great holiday designs: https://www.embroiderys.com/

Thank you... I really enjoy the designs from Tattered...they are all from the digitizers own original drawings, no clipart, so you will not find these designs anywhere else. Also does a great job with digitizing...and I am very difficult to please when it comes to digitizing...

Thanks, Angie... I actually think these are nice enough to frame...done on the Peltex really gives them substance...a lot more than just felt. I decided to just do a few card remembrances this year...so these will be perfect.
