Hi Ros :wave:

Sounds like a good holiday to me ;)

I love your card, I used to sew cards when I was little, brought back loads of memories, but mine were nothing compared to yours :faint: they are gorg and must have taken a lot of patience :thumbup;

Those are so lovely! how do you stop the card from fraying? Is it extra thick or normal card stock?

Thanks all ..

Its just normal card stock Virginia - holes pricked first with a pin, and then sewn with metallic thread.....

Heheheheh,, some things just have to be shared......

Such as the moment when I stabbed my finger instead of the card and it bled...

so ....


My other half kindly agreed to do some of the hole making for me ... :D :D

Hehehehehhe
