New Year's Embroidered Cards **New Card Added**

[Gumption]

I have embroidered on paper only a couple of times before, for postcards, and I really liked it.  I thought I could make a few Happy New Year's Cards this year, because I never get around to doing things in time for Christmas.  I find that the week between Christmas and New Year's is my most productive time each year.  So, I made 3 cards, sitting in front of the fire, listening to an audiobook ("The Elegance of the Hedgehog," if you care to know).

All 3 together:

My favorite, the Bird:

The Owl:

The Year:

Moustachioed Popsicle (Inside reads:  Be cool in 2011) It's an orangey color, hard to see here.


Hope you like these!  I truly enjoyed making them.  They will be hard to part with!

They're all so sweet, but I think the birdie is my favorite as well!

These cards are great! I love the texture that is added to a card with embroidery!

These cards are very heartwarming!   Did you draw out the design or free hand it?  Your stitching is very neat.  I like the bird one too.
