Step 5
To turn your cross stitches into greeting cards, place your card face down and stick strips of double-sided tape closely around the aperture edge. Trim the edges of your fabric to fit the aperture.
Step 6
Place your stitching face up and turn the card over to position underneath. Keep the fabric grain square to the card edge for an even more professional finish.
Step 7
Smooth out fabric creases and press down firmly. Place double-sided tape on the edge of the left-hand panel. For colored cards add a piece of white paper.
Step 8
Fold the left panel over to line up with the central panel. Press down firmly to flatten the card, fold the third side over and your card is complete!
