Surprise your family and friends with unique cross-stitched season’s greeting cards this year. Here is how you can create exclusive cross-stitched season’s greeting cards with ease.
- The first thing that you would have to do is purchase blank season’s greeting cards especially for embroidery.
- Scan the embroidery book to find an appropriate cross-stitch design. Select a design that is not only simple to make, but also doesn’t leave too much of usable space. Transfer the design onto the fabric.
- If you don’t want to leave awkward marks on the cross-stitch fabric, then it would be worthwhile to use charted cross-stitch design for your season’s greeting cards.
- Instead of using plain and simple fabric, use colored cross-stitch fabric to reflect the joyous mood of the holiday season. You can even spray paint the cross-stitch fabric. Gold or silver metallic paint typically looks good. Make sure that the paint has dried thoroughly before you begin to stitch the design on the fabric.
- Once, you have finished stitching the cross-stitch design on the fabric, mount the fabric on the season’s greeting card. You can use fabric glue or masking tape to attach the fabric to the card. Masking tape would be a better option because it will allow the recipient to remove the design for framing or other display purposes.
- Embellish the season’s greeting cards with embossing powder, glitters, acrylic paints, etc.
- Lastly, write the message with a calligraphy pen and post your unique cross-stitch season’s greeting cards.
