Bird House Card
This is the third card from the embroidery on paper kit. The bird house doors were stitched in the round. The gold borders of the houses are simple straight stitches.
I used this card as a "Welcome to your new home" greeting.
I mentioned last week that the backs of embroidery on paper cards are not as tidy as embroidery on fabric. Below is an example of a card back. The stitches are long, the thread carries for quite a distance, and there are bits of tape all over the place holding down the thread ends. This is to be expected, and is also why the backs are always covered on the completed cards before sending them. This kit came with lining papers for the cards. The finished result is quite professional.
Baby Carriage Card
The design for the next card in the kit was to welcome a newborn. This particular design had extremely simple lines to embroider.
25th Anniversary Card
This is the final design in the embroidery on paper kit. I find the circle around the "25" to be very pretty and effective.
In the next edition #throwbackthursday, I'll move on to projects from April 2007 which included more embroidery on paper, some counted cross-stitch, and some crocheted hats.
