making cards

[jaye_pony]

So far I have mostly stitched large pieces from kits, but I want to cross stitch a card for a friend's wedding. I have some ideas, but how does everyone else go about 'marrying' the Aida and cardstock, so to speak?

I know there have been a few times that this subject comes up and I think maybe we should put up a sticky thread for it.

Anyway there are all different ideas and everyone has a favorite.

I personally use hot glue in very small amounts and attach my stitching that way. Others use double sided tape, or those dots that scrapbookers use. There isalso a fabric glue that would probably work.

I use either a craft/scrapbooking glue or double sided tape to attach stitching to cards. It is easy to do and the glue dries well with no reside or colour to mess things up.

Good luck.
