the SWAK site specifically says it is for embroidering on cards:

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Dense designs are usually not good for embroidery on paper. The bell on SWAK looks perfect for such a project. Good luck and have fun! *4U

Barb has given u a good answ. I have found that using just the outline of the design often works well,U can find lots of designs especially christmas ornaments that u can forward to the last step of outlining & use that, if u can decrease the density of your stitches on your machine then you'll b able to do most anything. * Chk on cp for tutorial on doing card making.

I'm sure our card makers will be along to coach you, but I saw some cards down at my dealer, and they're all very light, outline type designs. Don't forget, card stock is like tearaway stabilizer, the more holes you punch, the easier it will come apart. If you keep to designs that won't punch holes too close together, you'll be better off. Best of luck, and we want to see your results!! Marji

Hello rcraftlady, the stitch density is very important. If you haven't got a program on the PC, enlarge the design on your embroidery machine for a less denser stitching. Mary
