Valentine's stitched cards

Is this your project? Can you share instructions or a pattern with the Craftsy community?

Difficulty:

Category: Paper Crafts

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Other

Style: Classic, Romantic, Retro / Vintage, Cute, Traditional


Materials

Construction paper, scraps of yarn leftover from knitting projects.

What was your inspiration?

I love cards with lots of texture. And I knit a lot, so I have lots of leftover pieces of yarn from my knitting project. Combine the two and...voila!

What are you most proud of?

That I hand stitched that entire rose without ripping the paper!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

1. Take the time to trace out a design before you start stitching.

2. Go slowly and don't pull the yarn too tight, our you will rip the paper. I have considered doing a repeat of these with a more heavy duty paper (maybe some cardstock, which might be more durable.
