What is stitching on card?
Stitching on card involves stitching directly onto card with beads or embroidery threads to create a pattern. The holes are pricked in a grid pattern as they would be for cross stitch or counted beadwork. Unlike cross stitch on Aida and counted beadwork on perforated paper you only have holes where you need them.
To make a stitching on card pattern first holes are pricked into a piece of card following a pricking chart then beading or embroidery is stitched onto the card following a stitching pattern. The finished pattern can be either mounted on a greetings card or put into a picture frame to be given as a special handmade gift.
Crafty Ferret downloads include the pricking chart and beading or embroidery pattern, easy to follow instructions with left and right handed instructions for the beading patterns, a list of required materials and tips on making a greetings card using your finished work.
The downloads are formatted to print on A4 and US letter sized colour printers.
