I have used kiwi embroidery paper that I got at http://www.Allstitch.net to make embroidered cards. It also worked great with their acrylic embroidery blanks

I also layer my cards. I love to put a creamy, rich piece on top of a colored card. I found that watercolor paper makes beautiful stitching paper. You can buy it at almost any craft store or artist supply store. The sheets are huge and you can cut to any size you want. You can cut the paper or tear very slowly and expose the fibre of the paper. Rich and beautiful.

I tend to stitch on single sheets of card rather than on tri card. I like to mat and layer mine which you cant do with using a tri card.

I buy embossed white or cream card and cut it myself to suit what I am stitching. All the small pieces of card I keep and can often use them with small patterns on. Used up ever such a lot with christmas cards.

As the old saying goes a good crafter never wastes anything.

I have been making my own double fold cards.
I buy a 12″X12″ scrapbooking sheet, (Bazzill cardstock) cut it in half and fold at 4″ and 8″.
Here in Australia, the sheets are about $1:00 each.
Hope this helps.

I buy most of my card and craft items from Craft Creations (www.craftcreations.co.uk). They have a wide range of different items and offer discounts on multiple buys. Their range of different card is amazing, and you can buy different colours/styles and still get the discount. They also have a brilliant quarterly magazine.
