Stitching embroidery designs on card stock is fun. The secret is to choose a design with a light stitch count and running stitches. Find the center on the card front, align the embroidery design, and stitch the card. After the design stitches trim away the excess stabilizer and glue the second card to the inside to hide the underside of the stitching.
Step 1:
Gather the materials and read through the instructions before beginning. Find card stock that has perforations to separate each sheet into two sections and also scored lines for folding each half. Look in stationary or office supply stores to find the card stock.

Step 2:
To make the card, one sheet of card stock is needed. Fold the sheet along the perforation and then along the scored lines.
