Recently I stumbled across Stitching Cards, a site that sells downloadable e-patterns for embroidered greeting cards and bookmarks. Most patterns are a dollar or two, or you can raid the freebie section for some floral designs and an alphabet. I've seen 70s-style string art making a comeback on Pinterest— with these, you can try something similar on a small scale.
If you dig the idea of stitched cards but don't have the patience to do it yourself, check out Jeni Shirley's line of paper-and-thread creations. A source of inspiration!
Those look like they'd be fun to make!

These do look really fun and affordable! Thanks for a great share.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I visited my grandmother we looked through a box of her old keepsakes... in there was a collection of old cards that had been letters to HER mother, all with beautiful hand stitched details like this. It is the quality and love that goes into something that makes it a family heirloom! :)
ReplyDeleteThese cards look like a fun project to have for on-the-go. Thank you for sharing the site!
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute Jessica! I recently jumped on the stitched card bandwagon so I was particularly happy to see these designs. Thank you!
