Love string art on cards......very nice cards.....TFS

[@NancyLynn]

Wow, Sandy....you made your very own string art patterns....I'm totally impressed! Thanks for sharing!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Thanks so much for sharing this release, I especially love your creations using the stitching dies!!! Sending you blessings & hugs always!!!

[@lisadelong1455]

All of these cards are so much fun. It was fun watching you create your own string art designs. The third one you did is so awesome. Love what you did on the piñata card, too cute. String art was so much fun when I was a kid. This brings back happy childhood crafting days with my mom.

[@pambotter365]

Love the string art. I started in middle school math class we did several strung art. Then I started buying the string art with the nails. I did 7 total. One was a free standing ship and the string art was the sails. This video brings back such memories. TFS!

[@georgesgentry5835]

Bravocado Sandy. Fun project, great cards. Love the octopus 🐙❤

[@krembry08kentucky]

Wow these are so cool!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

Oh my goodness... this is just packed with fun. The string art looks super addictive and very cool. I did actual string art as a kid once... even if the holes are evenly spaced, it's difficult to get the nails straight... for me anyway. Such great cards.

[@jancastle77]

cool!

[@aliscraps-allisonbunt]

I loved the string art and the squid, what a crack up! Fantastic art as usual Sandy

[@karenzemko6518]

Ok Sandy, you're gonna make me spend money! I did counted cross stitch for many years, so I love these dies! I still have plenty of floss so I think I will have to get these! I'm always looking for projects for my Crafting for Christ ministry at church and I think these would be easy enough for everyone to do. Thanks for always messing with my brain with new ideas!

[@dlp454]

LOL! Check out my note above.

[@teddiev2720]

Ooooo... I’m going to try this. Love the circle dimensional one.

[@dlp454]

How could you?! Now you've given me the "itch" to pull out my cross-stitch, embroidery supplies and make something. I have a Silhouette Cameo and yesterday I wanted to make a birthday card. It turned out so well and was so fun, now I have THAT itch as well! But seriously, it was really fun watching you work out the design and then see such beautiful results. Well done!

[@pristinabread]

These were beautiful

[@goughlifeisgood4068]

Wow great idea and when to your blog and love those ideas as well..great color combinations...thanks for share over at ellen Hutson's cards too...super informative..

[@created2bless322]

I love these!

[@teddiev2720]

Thank you!

[@BitsOfLifePaperCrafs]

Wow! These are beautiful. Thanks for the inspiration :)

[@RomaBegumArt]

These are so pretty! Lovely work 😍💕

[@lindaedwards1111]

I am very happy to have found your video. I think if you take another look at the oval card, it seems particularly appropriate for Breast Cancer Awareness Month (which is when I'm watching this).🤣 At least that was my first thought. Since I'm a stitcher from way back (punches were made for string art years ago), I noticed on the circle card that were "off", but I couldn't figure out how you made it work. So I didn't buy the dies. But here I am, and I take this is a sign to have even more stitching in my crafty life. Thank you so much for demonstrating. After I finish watching, I'm off to Ellen's! ❤

[@SandyAllnock1]

Even if it’s off a little, few people will notice stitching a hold twice here or there to accommodate it. Just hide it 🥰

[@cheri6905]

Sandy - LOVE your string-art cards (also your other cards)! SO pretty & a nice change of pace! I knitted, sewed & crocheted LONG before I started papercrafting. Embroidery was never my thing (or I just didn't have the patience). But I have always admired embroidery & string-art cards & projects, so your video is very motivating! I definitely would like to try making these & you have shown that using the dies makes sure that the stitch-holes are evenly-spaced. Do these die sets include the dies that hide the stitch-holes, or is that another set that you need to buy? I will look on EH's website.... Thanks for all your tips... I really like your designs, & you have already worked-out the hole & stitch placements for us - YAY!

[@SandyAllnock1]

The ones that cover them are in other die sets.

[@cheri6905]

OK..... thanks, Sandy!!

[@MariaGoncalves-gy8yb]

Lindo lindo. Mas que papel e este

[@kmjobrien62]

Hello I’m just getting into paper piercing I have templates from stamping up But I have no clue where to start Like embroidery strings how many do u use one or 2 strands Please help me

[@SandyAllnock1]

You’ll get a different look from various numbers of strands; just create a test paper to try it on. ❤️

[@jeaninegordon7447]

Love the string art. I may have missed it, but how did you get the dots so evenly spaced?

[@SandyAllnock1]

Dies.

[@Jani6690]

Just received my first EH die set and rewatched the video. Floss comes in six ply. What ply did you use (looks like one)? Loved the video and anxious to get started.

[@SandyAllnock1]

I used two strands from the 6 strands. ❤️
