I have used this design by Emy van Schaik to make 2 different greeting cards, one is a Christmas card and the other a pink themed card is a friendship hello greeting.

To complete the traditionally coloured red, green and gold Christmas themed stitching and beading topper, using white 180gsm satin finished card cut at 13cm wide x12.5cm high to copy the design, I completed all the swirls stitching first using a single thread of dark green embroidery floss using the recommended 1-5 spacing and then double thread red embroidery floss for the 6 short bars.

To complete the beading, I have used double thread red embroidery floss. I have used 60 beads in the combination of 22 tiny red metallic round seed beads, 14 red 6mm metallic rice beads, and 24 gold metallic 3mm metallic seed beads.

In addition, I have used 10 gold metallic sequins instead of the indicated spacers.

Before attaching the completed work onto the satin finished 14.5x14cm gold backing sheet, I have used white copy paper cut at, 12.5 x 12cm, and a glue runner tape to attach to the back of the work to secure the stitching, then the red ribbon across the back 6mm down from the top edge of the white topper.

The main card is A4 Crafty Bob 200gsm, scored, folded and trimmed to measure 15cm high. I have secured the red ribbon tails at the back of the gold backing sheet, and attached the topper using D.S. red power tape.

To complete the embellishment, I have attached the delightful image Winter from Sassy Cheryl pack 9, cup345686_1519, I had received as part of the Free Clip Art with the order I had made on Sept 2019.

I printed the image onto 170gsm card, cut it out and used silicone glue to attach it then added the tiny gold stars, the gold fine line and gold decorative peel off strips and corners.

I have used cup834580_1398, Incert with Verse, a design by Ceredwyn Mcrae, to print twice onto copy paper and attach one full copy on the right of the insert and using the second copy cut away the verse, leaving the central section blank to attach the Merry Christmas, Sentiment.

The pink themed card is worked on 13cm square soft green satin finished 180gsm card using three different shades of pink single thread embroidery floss.

I have used 74 beads in the combination of 40 pink pearl finished sed beads, 18 pink glass tube beads, 16 of which each have a very tiny pink glass seed bead attached.

In addition, I have used pink pearl finished sequins in place of the recommended spacers. I have attached a backing to secure the stitching as above and attached the finished topper to the card front using D.S. red power tape.

The pink tiny white spot is printed onto both sides of the scored and folded 28x 14cm card. To complete the insert, I have used Pink Chantilly lace, cup1106589_21027 to cut and fold to fit as the feature insert and verse I have chosen from the friendship Floral free section of verses, and 2 images from Red Rosed Two, cup410288_43 a design by Tom Curtis.

To complete the card front embellishment I have attached fine line pink peel off strips around the edge of the main green backing sheet and attached a central image with the sentiment from, cup1105417_659, 4 pink rose verse toppers by Stephen Poore, which I had printed 8 to an A4 sheet to achieve this size, and the ivory ribbon to keep within the nostalgic verse theme.

Being able to choose the resulting shades and thematic style and occasion of the greeting card using this delightfully designed topper, gives the crafter the ability to use the design many times without it ever appearing as the same design.

Thank you Emy, I love this design, Pamela Horton.
