Handmade "instant" wow!
If you have never made your own cards before - this is the place to start. But most especially, if you want to hear friends go "wow" when you give them a card. Then this is the right place for you.

Paper embroidery is a very simple and easy craft to learn, but the finished effect is sensational.

With the simple instructions contained within this book, you will astound even yourself.

Choose a pattern. Get some metallic threads for extra sparkle.

A needle and a blank card. And in just a small amount of time, you will have made a very impressive card. All for very little time and almost no cost.

With this book containing over 150 designs, I doubt you will ever find a pattern book that is better value.

Don't wait, you know this is a great deal, so order it today.

A GREAT Book for paper embroidery
This is my VERY favorite book for paper embroidery....it will work for the beginner up to an advanced project as there are about 160 pages of projects - a pricking template and a colored picture of a finished project. The pricking template will need to be photocopied, which is okay per the author.

The hardest part is trying to decide which ones to stitch first!
