When I make a paperweight for my mother-in-law last year, I originally stitched the design onto 18hpi aida. This was too small for the paperweight so I put the design into my 'finished cross stitch' drawer and stitched it again on 16hpi for the paperweight. I've recently been gifted a lot of tri-fold card blanks and this small red card had the perfect size aperture for the small design.
To make this card I used:
4.5" x 3.5" red tri-fold card blank
Framecraft 'Summer Garland' cross stitch chart
18hpi cream aida
DMC threads.
To make this super quick card, I trimmed the fabric and attached it to the rear of the aperture before folding the card over to cover the stitching. I've plenty more designs in my 'finished cross stitch' drawer so need to make them into cards too!
I am entering the following challenges:
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
As You Like It Challenge - Layered or Flat (definitely flat for me as they are cheaper to post and also fit my CAS style and my cross stitch designs)
Beautiful Blossoms - Anything Floral Goes
Cardz 4 Galz - Stitching, Real or Faux
Love to Craft - Anything Goes
