Ways to use faux cross stitch cards
- Junk journals: tuck a folded card into a pocket, or glue one panel in as a page.
- Journaling cards: cut the blank framed panel and write notes, quotes or dates.
- Greeting cards: print on cardstock, fold, and write your message inside the frame.
- Scrapbooks and gift tags: cut out the flower motif and layer it on a layout or tag.
- Seasonal themes: the bee, hyacinths and iris suit spring journals; sunflowers and poppy suit summer.
Printing tips
- Print the faux cross stitch cards at 100% (actual size) on A4. On US Letter, choose “Fit to page” – you lose only a thin edge.
- Use matte paper or cardstock (200–250 gsm / 80–90 lb) for cards that stand up.
- Score the centre line with a bone folder before folding for a clean crease.
- For a fabric feel, print on canvas paper or fabric printer sheets.
