Embroidery on paper is a simple technique, but the effect is elegant and sophisticated. This book contains numerous lovely patterns designed especially for the holiday season. Many of the patterns also lend themselves to other types of cards such as birthday, sympathy and get well. If you vary the threads and background colors used, you can create a surprisingly different effect! Card designs include angel, snowman, Santa with sleigh, teddy bear, church window, cross, ornaments, candles, church, snowflakes, trees, "Merry Christmas" in several languages, and many more.
