How to Make Embroidery Cards
Cards are a great way to express your feelings towards someone. They are often sent out around the holiday or for special events such as birthdays. To add a creative and personal touch to your cards, you may want to embroider special designs onto them.
- Choose a piece of card stock that you want to use for your card. You can use plain white or select a colored piece. If you choose a colored piece, make sure it will match the color of embroidery thread you plan to use.
- Fold the card stock into the shape of a card. Run your finger down the edge of the card to create a crease.
- Spray the stabilizer adhesive on the card stock. This will help make the card sturdy and easier to embroider.
- Choose the design you want to embroider onto the card. Prepare the embroidery machine and place the card on the embroidery machine tray. Embroider the design onto the card.
- Remove the card from the machine. Remove the hoop from the embroidery machine and remove the stabilizer from the hoop.
- Use scissors to cut the stabilizer away from the design. Trim it so you cannot see any of it under or around the embroidered image.
- Cut a piece of card stock that is big enough to cover the embroidery threads that being shown on the inside of card. You can glue the card stock into place.
- Slide the embroidered card into an envelope and seal it. Mail the card out to the intended recipient.
