The design has been kept delibrately simple with wider spaced holes and more detailed stitching instructions. This should make it quick and easy to stitch.

These can be added to your greetings card where you require the words. Prick out the words and stitch them using the supplied illustration as a guide.

I have reduced the pattern to 120 x 120 mm (4¾ x 4¾ inches). There are a number of manufacturers who produce single fold greetings card blanks that a stitched panel of this size could be mounted on.

You will have to download the original full size flower corners pattern to get the stitching instructions.

The reduction of about 20% means that the holes are a bit closer together but the spacing should still be adequate.

I do like the larger size as it gives me more scope to develop the pattern. What I have in mind for future Pinbroidery patterns is that I could supply the pricking pattern in two sizes: 144 mm square and a reduced size to be decided. Your feedback will help me come to a decision on this.

Please let me have your feedback on the smaller pattern as a comment to this article or on the Pinbroidery blog.

The corner hearts are stitched in pink thread. The stitched rectangle of white card is cut out with rounded corners and mounted on a sheet of dark pink card. The pink rectangle is then cut with rounded to form a narrow border.

The resulting picture is mounted on a two tone pink striped background. Silver corner stickers add the finishing touch to this stunning card.

The stitching pattern for the hearts can be downloaded from my earlier article entitled Free Valentine Hearts easy embroidery on paper pattern.

I have made an example card from the pattern and you can see it on the right. The two vertical columns of snowflakes are stitched in Kreinik confetti pink thread and the words are stitched in red thread. I have added some vintage Christmas clipart of bells and holly to show the possibilities. You could add 3D decoupage, tea bag folding, a photograph or whatever takes your fancy.
