I AM CURRENTLY MAKING CHANGES TO MY BLOG. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. "ADD TO CART" BUTTONS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY REMOVED. FILE FORMATS ARE BEING UPGRADED. THE .SCUT FORMAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE.

PLEASE READ REGARDING HOW FILES ARE SENT...

I do not have an automated system for sending the requested cut files. I do, however, check my emails at least three times during daylight hours and orders are placed accordingly. If you are ordering from overseas, be forewarned that this process may take longer than a few hours.

INFORMATION YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF BEFORE PURCHASING:

One of my favorite pastimes as a child was sewing on perforated nursery rhyme cards using a shoe string. Embroidery on paper is a "grown-up" version of the same concept...an enjoyable pastime re-visited. My particular method was developed because of limited resources and I have two die cutting machines and very little money...so one thing lead to another...and this method evolved. Now I want to share this method with you.

Using my cut files and a die cutting machine, the pattern is cut out on cardstock. The cut leaves a trail of "dimples" that must be fine tuned by hand pricking with a Pergamano pricking/piercing tool. This trail of dimples is the pattern you will need to do the hand embroidery over.

No supplies are included with the instructions/cut file/files. You must locate and purchase supplies separately. There is a list of tools and supplies in the Beginner's Embroidery Packet instruction manual. The manual also includes useful tips, tricks and instructions.

If you have one of the Cricut die cutting machines, as I understand current information, the newer versions of SCAL (Sure Cuts Alot) and the new MTC (Make the Cut) no longer allow you to use the Cricut for your die cutting machine. The .svg files will only work for those who still have the original SCAL versions.

THEREFORE, DUE TO THE ABOVE CHANGES, FILES WILL BE OFFERED ONLY IN .SVG FORMAT. OVER TIME I HOPE TO BE ABLE TO CONVERT THESE TO OTHER FILE FORMATS AS WELL.

Instructions will come in a PDF format so you will also need Adobe Reader in order to open these. Adobe Reader is a free download from the internet. Click HERE to go directly to the Adobe web site to download. On the Adobe web page, on the right side of the screen, under "Readers and Players", you will need to click on "Get Adobe Reader"..

Whether you are new to embroidery on paper or an old hat at doing it, my method in the beginning is very different from what others offer. If money restraints limit you from being able to purchase the full beginner package, I can't express enough the need for you to at least purchase the Partial Manual and one cut file when you are first starting out. I have worked very hard to make the manual as clear and concise as I can and it is the best tutorial I can offer. It has many tips, tricks, and instructions to help you along the way.

It would be great if my time constraints would allow me to tutor each and every one of you, but it isn’t. Purchasing a cut file, and not purchasing the Partial Manual, does not entitle you to the resource of my time. If you email me with questions and the issue has already been covered in the manual, I will more than likely ask if you have purchased the Partial Manual. If you haven’t, then I will again express the need for you to do so. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

SELECT YOUR FORMAT WISELY. STORE YOUR FILES SECURELY. NO REFUNDS. NO RE-SENDS.

YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL WHEN PLACING AN ORDER. I will not share your email address with anyone.The cut files and instructions are delivered in a zipped file by download to your computer.

I did a lace` embellishment for the front face of the card. It is included in the cut file package.

Eas09 Tri-Fold Card Topper


Note: Wait until you have finished the hand embroidery before folding the topper.

After finishing the hand embroidery, I glued the first folded section to the second folded section. This covers the back of the stitching on the first fold. You will need to keep your thread ends close in to the embroidery design so when you glue these sections together no thread will show on the inside of the card. I then cut a mat every so slightly larger than the finished topper and glued this to the back to make the completed card.

The package includes the following:
  • Cut file for the topper.
  • Cut file for the blank topper.
  • PDF file of specifics and information including the stitching chart and pricking template.
Completed topper measures approximately 5.25" x 5.25".
