  • DIY: Embroidered Cards

    I had some fun embroidering cards the other day. Have you ever tried embroidery? This project would be a great way to learn, making holes in the paper makes it very easy to see where you’re moving next and the general plan of your design or word. These embroidered cards would be a really special gift for Mother’s Day. Or just a note to remind yourself how awesome you are in the bathroom mirror.

          Next time I make some I will! All of mine are being adored by friends and families on their bookshelves or card storage boxes. (or so I’d like to think)

      How fun! I love how simple this is and the end product looks so pretty. Going out to buy thread soon.

      My friend, Katie, embroiders cards and notes for friends and to herself and posts them on her tumblr page.
      They are so great!

      Such a cute idea! I loved cross-stitch when I was a kid. You’ve got me inspired to bust out the old embroidery floss.

      I was playing around with animated gifs on the weekend after discovering your tutorial. Fun!

      And I had to tear myself away from the computer – a little TOO much fun…
