make a personalized slow stitch birthday card

Taking Card Making to a Whole New Level When You Use Fabric, Lace and Thread to Create a Personalized Card

Birthday cards can be store bought or handmade. But have you ever considered “hand-stitched”? If you use scraps of fabric and trim then this is the most cost-effective card you could make. And with a little resourcefulness you can customize and personalize the stitching to reflect the personality of the recipient.

These cards can be mailed if you don’t make them too bulky or heavy. And, as an extra bonus, if the recipient is a stitcher, they can stitch their card into their own project after they receive it. Imagine it pieced into a quilt or used on a journal cover.

A card is a card but a slow stitched card is a tangible memory. Please join me in this creative journey and let’s make something beautiful together!
