Cross Stitch Cards

[MelAdkins]

Good morning everyone! After looking at some of the British cross-stitching sites, I've discovered a LOT of them cross stitch greeting cards for birthdays or special occasions, which I am wanting to do this year for a few people. However, I've had miserable luck trying to find a good source of the premade cards in the United States. I just got back into this hobby, and don't want to have to pick up a new one (cardmaking) to do this!

Does anyone know of a good website or supplier that has a great selection that you have used?

Thanks so much for your help!

Hello and welcome to the forum. If you google cards for cross stitching, there are a lot of sites which show up, including this one from Amazon. I hope that you will stay and show us what you stitch when you get the cards.

Carole,

Hi! Thanks! The problem is that I can find patterns to stitch easily enough - it's the actual blank precut cards that are impossible to find! Even the googling is leaving a lot to be desired, but I will try again.

I know in the UK they are called apertures, but in the US I'm not sure what they are mostly called. I've seen die-cut once or twice, but that's not exactly right, either. LOL. Who would have ever thought the English language would be so hard??

I googled Aperture Cards and got pages of sites. I also buy from Michael's stores.

Thanks, everyone! I ended up just going ahead and ordering from sewandso.co.uk. They had tons of different sizes, colors, and cutout shapes that I just couldn't find in the US. A lot of the google results I had tried earlier redirected me to ECrater and when I got there, the page said "item not found".

Thanks again! I'll post pictures when I get them!
