  Step 1

  Pick two colours of card that go well together. Fold the main colour of card in half.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut a long rectangle out of the second piece of card.

• 

  Step 3

  Lightly sketch out the design with a pencil.

• 

  Step 4

  Prick holes all along the design.

• 

  Step 5

  Take a needle and thread and stitch through the holes.

• 

  Step 6

  When you have stitched the whole pattern stick tape over the tales on the back for extra security.

• 

  Step 7

  Glue to the main part of the card. You're all done.

Yeah you can, it saves time but you have to be a good sewer.

Hmm, you could use nice textured paper of the paper you get with flowers pressed in. I should experiment with paper making soon, that would be fun.

I recently found your site from Ysolda's blog, and I really liked it.
I love your projects too (especially the Green Fairy Lollypops)

Perfect colors! What kind of paper do you recommend? These would make great cards for graduations, too, with a stitched 2006.
