Cross Stitching on Cards Update

[@cinderspapercraft89]

This is a fantastic tutorial. You have the most incredible effect on people, you truly brighten a bad day 😊. Bless your beautiful soul 💕💕

[@rosycheek6709]

My six and a half year old joined me while I was watching this and he kept saying "I can easily do that!" and "I can do that in a minute!" He was clearly interested in the project so I set him up with the die cut card, a large blunt needle and some wool. After a minute he said "This is harder than I thought!" but to his credit he is persevering !

[@mareeludenia9688]

Hi Jennifer, if you want to get a fuller look with your embroidery thread, split the six threads apart first and then put them back together before you thread the needle. This makes the thread look much better.

[@coolstamper]

LOVE these STITCHED cards. I hope you share more in the near future. People LOVE these because it infers a really special, personal card when given. TYFS Jennifer...you're the BEST!!! 💕

[@debshoemaker5502]

Thank you so much Jennifer for this video. After your last video on stitching cards I fell in love with your stitch cards, so much I asked my children for them as a Christmas gift. I now am in love with the square and circle stitch dies. I find it so relaxing and I can do it anywhere. And the receiver of these cards just goes nuts over them. Thank you so much for sharing your talent, I love everything you do. I get so excited when I check every morning to see if you have a new video out. You can imagine how excited I got when I saw a new stitching on cards video this morning. Thank you again Jennifer!

[@JennyColacicco]

You’ve got me rediscovering cross stitch again. Along time ago it was the love of my life... thank you!

[@susanbredehoft2308]

I used to do a lot of cross stitch in college. I've decided to get back in to it again after almost 30 years. I love the idea of stitching on paper and making cards. You are very talented, God has blessed you with the gift of art as well as the gift of teaching! We are blessed to have you and all your KZbin videos! Thanks for teaching this!

[@renaewolford3270]

Love this! I have cross stitched for 30 yrs. I just ordered the first stitching die, excited to receive it. Now I must get the other 2 dies. Love them. I am thrilled to be able to add cross stitch to my card making. You are Awesome for sharing!!!

[@janebrogli5046]

I am so excited to see more cross-stitch projects. You have me hooked since watching your first video. I can’t wait to try some of these ideas. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@amyinpa]

These are so pretty! I immediately went and purchased all the dies. I have all of my moms cross stitch thread from when she did it. I am off to watch your stitching tutorial now. Tfs

[@melissamorales2070]

Jeninfer you are amazing! I alway learn something new from you. Thank you for loving this craft. You have a real gift.

[@sharonnesvog4269]

Another wonderful paper-crafting video!!! Thank you Jennifer!! My mind gets boggled by all the card-making possibilities out there!!! ☺ Thanks for sharing these beautiful cards with us!!

[@bdbear10]

The square one with all the flower sequins is definitely my favorite! It's really beautiful!

[@Sandra-zu4ff]

I’ve been neglecting watching my favorite crafters and I’m sad to say I haven’t seen a video of yours in a few months. But you sound so much happier and confident than before and I’m so excited to hear your genuinely passionate voice. Wonderful video as always!

[@tammyhubley2910]

Great Job Lila! Jennifer I am seriously considering cross stitching again! it looks like "sew" much fun!😊❤

[@Debbie2721]

I do embroidery all the time. I never thought to put it in card making. Awesome.

[@deb1623]

Rewatching. Have decided to use your heart idea 3 times across a slim line card. Can’t believe how much time has passed( it’s 2023)! I’m still stitching on cards-even at airports…

[@sylviasmith12]

Great tips! I have an hours train journey each way to work and have been looking for something crafty to do on the train that doesnt take up too much space in my bag. This might be just the thing!

[@bamagirlinozshannony5535]

These are great! I have carpal tunnel so don't break out my cross stitch anymore. 🙁 These dies are a great way to incorporate two crafts that I enjoy! 👌🏻

[@NancyLynn]

Awww, you are just 'the best' Jennifer! I would have never guessed that someone as young as Lila would be into this OR could do it...that was the best news for me as I'm now going to share this with my granddaughter, who is 7. THANK U SEW MUCH!

[@stacyhstamps]

That heart and hoop stitch is ADORABLE! You amaze me, Jennifer. Thank you for the videos ❤️

[@gabrielamachadosalesalonso5765]

I love cross stitch and I love paper work, and now I can join both!! I love this video and the ideas!

[@mslmh47]

Terrific video and a nice new take on a very old technique - stitching on perforated paper. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@jennifermaddock4382]

Great ideas and maybe you'll get people to take up stitching again. My daughter is at University studying Medicinal Chemistry and she doesn't really like any other crafts but she loves to cross stitch and create her own patterns. I think it works well with her scientific mind. It's great relaxation for her and she's taught a lot of other girls from her dorm too. Happy New Year.

[@sandycooper3188]

I loved the diagonal card!! Very cute and different. I am going to have to try this. Looks like so much fun. Thanks so much.

[@conniesmith4771]

Lovely, beautiful, gorgeous, great designs and instructions! Thank you 💜

[@terridean4784]

You could put two round ones back to back and create Christmas ornaments.

[@aprilh5186]

Terri Dean What a great idea!

[@gabbyfranks2875]

Just as wonderful as the previous video. Thanks for all the great info and inspiration!

[@megbreiter6314]

Thanks Jennifer 😘, I have a friend who cross stitches and I think she will love this!

[@dudelessranch802]

You're designs are gorgeous. Thanks for sharing all of this wonderful information.

[@christymalone5191]

I love this! I was inspired by your video last summer to get the cross stitch tag die from MFT and make a bunch of tags for some Christmas gifts. My friends and family loved them. My 7 & 9 year old nieces watched me working on them sometimes and asked me to teach them how, too. Thanks so much!!

[@beverleesagon1843]

Sew Gorgeous... I think I might give this a try. I have watched all your videos and this one really spoke to me. Something fun to take with you on the go. Again Thank You for your knowledge and sharing your ideas. I always copy them at first til I get the hang of it to venture out on my own.

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Love all your stitching projects. I did counted thread embroidery years ago and this is a fun reminder of all the hours I enjoyed stitching. I will be sure to do this for some of my cards. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year.

[@rubytuesday7225]

Really lovely technique Jennifer. Thank you. Deb x

[@vagirl5297]

I used to love to cross stitch and I love it on your cards! So pretty! Tfs!

[@elainesandysanderson6940]

Hey Jennifer! Thank you for all your awesome videos, I can watch you for hours. .....I gave my great niece a cross stitch card kit for Christmas. She is 8 years old and her Mimi (my sister-in-law) cross stitched back in the day, so I thought it would be neat for her to teach her and she could make the cards for her parents and grandparents. I too cross stitched back in the day and can't wait to do some of theses myself. I think I'm going to do my Christmas cards for next year. We'll see how that goes. 😉 Love you, God bless.

[@fphandmade]

So pretty! Takes me back to my cross stitch days.

[@theOmega989]

Great job, Lila! Beautiful colors!

[@yungzubass9648]

Always beautiful card. Thank you for sharing.

[@bettyhall9777]

All of these are gorgeous , thanks so much for sharing , hope your new year is great and prosperous

[@sherriejohnson9250]

Oh Jennifer...what a wonderful idea...and video...showing us how to use our love for cross stitch...along with our love for making cards! I love, love this video. Your other one demonstrating this was a great intro to this video. You truly amaze me with all your creative ideas. I especially love the square with all the small cross stitch squares in different colors on it. I'm gonna have to be sure to get me some of those adorable flower sequins! Thanks so much for sharing your ideas. And...very happy New Year prayers are being sent your way!

[@maryjaneblahnik5767]

Awesome. New dies to xstitch. Thanks for sharing

[@brendahall2018]

Square one with the little squares is my favorite!

[@kathrynd6779]

I saw you post a stitched card on your Instagram story yesterday and hoped I'd see some more from you soon and here they are!! Yay!

[@cardmakingwithcraftconfect9786]

Great video. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this and fabulous tips as well.

[@GIL3969]

You’re videos are the best! Can’t wait to try this out! Just love watching your videos!

[@denisem1632]

Thanks Jennifer, really enjoyed watching and learning in the video.

[@handmadebymirella]

So cute, I love the addition of sequins and beads... And to think that the first cards I made years ago had cross-stitched elements on them! I was a trend setter ;-)

[@lindaedwards3377]

Dental floss threaders are a great way to thread your needles. And you can't beat the portability!

[@globalhikingcr]

Adorable! Thank you for taking the time to share your creativity with us 🌺

[@CraftyMax]

Can’t wait to watch all your 8 new videos- you really outdid yourself!

[@theramblincrafter]

Thanks so much for sharing, these are absolutely beautiful! Hope your year is going great as well! Hugs

[@erinfirst1406]

You could also cut plastic canvas down or use the shaped canvas as a template.

[@Ebbie08]

Here’s a tip on how to add a knot at the end of your thread when adding sequins or beads: once you threaded your thread, go to the end of your thread and loop it around your needle couple of times, run your finger down the loops and needle, all the way to the end of the thread and once there, a knot will form on its own. You can search for tutorial on how to do this on KZbin if my description is confusing. I found it to be so useful since I use needle and thread often. 👍🏼

[@24jessejames]

Pretty soon Lila will need her own channel! great video.

[@lorraineturner2817]

Hi Jennifer, I love cross-stitching but never thought of creating my cross-stitching on card stock rather than Aida. I must look into these dies as I have been a cross-stitcher a long time but have only a fairly new crafter. I thank you for all your time and effort in making these video tutorials for us crafters. :O)

[@carlocu]

Verdaderamente eres una profesional tienes unas tarjetas diferentes e increíbles,te felicito!,

[@verblu8507]

Never seen this techniique that have dies. I like this!

[@maggiebaxter610]

Beautiful cards and fabulous dies. It's funny.....as a lefty, when I x-stitch, I work from left to right and as a righty I see you working from right to left. Either way, they always turn out beautifully. Great for Lila too and her eye-hand coordination! My 7 year old "faux" granddaughter Alex loves to test her hand at hand-stitching too. Thanks for sharing and I was so happy to see your video pop up in my feed tonight. Selfishly I've missed seeing more videos but am glad you've been able to take some extended time with your family. ~HUGS~ #kindnessmatters

[@traciepond9105]

Hi Maggie. I am right handed and stitch from left to right too. My Mom, who is left-handed, taught me how to cross-stitch when I was Lila's age.

[@maggiebaxter610]

That's funny Tracie. I use my right hand for many things (like scissors....can't cut lefty to save my life!) because I learned from my parents or older siblings. Makes us flexible!! Thanks for sharing. ~HUGS~

[@sylviasmith12]

My daughter is a lefty but bats and golfs right handed. When she was little and set the table with our knives and forks we all got set left handed and her right handed brother eats left handed. I swapped my knife and fork for being right handed.

[@jeannetrumbull5561]

Nifty idea! Thanks for sharing.

[@karens9257]

Love your cards!! Love your videos as well.

[@thelastwin]

I hope for next Christmas they release some of these dies in mittens and sweaters, ugly sweaters for all!

[@StampNStitch]

There is an easier way to start stitching. Cut a long piece of floss, 30" or longer. If 2 threads are needed, just use one strand and fold in half. Next, thread both ends into eye, this will create a loop. When you start your first stitch, pull far enough to bring your needle through the loop, pull ti complete the stitch. With doing this, no waste knot or running under required at the beginning. When doing this method, it will only work when even number of strands are required. I hope this helps.

[@shelly49]

StampNStitch I was just coming here to post this lol

[@reginahay5211]

Good idea. I learned to start from the front, leaving a very short tail, and doing a back stitch to hold the first stitch in place. On the second row, go over the tail to hide it under the next couple of stitches. Then you can cut it short and it is gone. Very similar to working threads into crochet or bead embroidery. My mother was taught that the back should look as good as the front. Lol. I'm 67 but not THAT persnickety.

[@zook717]

Gaaaw! You're making me want to pull out my cross stitching now!

[@elizetedearaujo5429]

Fico aqui no Brasil(Rio de Janeiro),babando ,vendo ,os seus trabalhos que são lindos e bem feitos!

[@WithKhawla]

Wonderful😍 Now I want the dies 😆

[@debbiesue84]

These are so fun, thanks for sharing! Would you share your nail color, too?! I love it!

[@jennifermcguireink]

ilnp deja vu

[@cathyconey3273]

I bought that die and love it

[@wendyodell356]

Beautiful and creative ❤

[@Loveyourselfchalleng]

This is a completely random question. If you had to pick 3 items to mass produce for a fund raiser, what would you create?

[@TheAmy172]

Very beautiful!

[@nicolewooldridge9683]

Hi bam! First one. Clever cards😘

[@katebird7026]

Jennifer I have used microspore tape to hold my dues to my paper but when put through my big shot it becomes impossible to remove without tearing the paper, and yes I have tried sticking it to my clothes first? Thanks for the good ideas Kate (England)

[@jennifermcguireink]

hmmmmmm... do you use the same brand i do? i can easily pull the tape off - i just do it slowly or 'roll' it off wtih my finger.

[@katebird7026]

Jennifer McGuire Ink Thanks

[@Ebbie08]

Frog tape works well too. The sensitive/low tac one.

[@leenewton5872]

Like doesn't say it; LOVE!

[@potsiefighter]

These are gorgeous Jennifer! :) xo Lisa

[@ruthjames715]

How do I find your downloads for the cross stitch cards, please? I looked at your blog and can't seem to locate them. Ruth down under

[@dawnspengler9357]

JUST LOVELY!

[@lymaricabrera7525]

Sorry, Im new in making cards... can I use the cricut Explorer instead of the die to do the same??

[@jennifermcguireink]

sorry, i don't have a cricut

[@BreAnnloveland]

Have you had any trouble with the 3m foam tape sticking to your stitching? Mine keeps coming apart. 😧

[@jennifermcguireink]

no, but if it does, just squirt some strong liquid adhesive in there to secure it :)

[@Kat-fg3qw]

Great thank Jennifer

[@crystal13l]

THANKS SEW MUCH!

[@ritamariacastillo8812]

Hi! Second! Beautiful projects!

[@gabr0901]

I bet a lint roller could grab those dots out of the paper quickly.

[@Ness1279]

I like the cards without the sequins. 🙂

[@rubikian3036]

your channel is so... educative.... i appreciate that a lot.?¿ thankyou.

[@adibakhan701]

Plz make scrape book tutorial for birthday event plz simple and beautiful

[@barbaraharrold5361]

Very cute:)

[@luv3pugs]

I don’t know cross stitching but I know embroidery. I’ve never stitched those small x’s. Looks kind of the same.

[@sylviasmith12]

Lucy Valles Orta Its easy! Just do one diagonal stitch in a row in one direction and then to finish the stitch return over the stitches you have already made diagonally again to form a cross. It doesnt matter which diagonal you use as long as they are all going the same in the direction and not mixed. Plenty of tutorials on youtube. Fun and simple to do.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

It’s sad to go to sew much work on a card and most people just throw them away!
