Hand Embroidery: Easy Guide on Embroidering Beautiful Cards

Hello and welcome to my second embroidery course!

My name is Vesna and I have been studying different embroidery techniques for a few years now. I am really passionate about colours and the diversity of textures that can be made with thread and a simple needle.

I am currently experimenting with embroidery on paper and I really enjoy the process - I hope you will learn even more in my SECOND hand embroidery class - An Easy Guide on Embroidering Beautiful Cards.

What is Embroidery on Paper?

It is just that. We will be using techniques from hand embroidery and adjusting them in a way, that will enable us to embroider on paper.

My first course has focused on Christmas Theme Cards and so I have added new motives for my 2nd embroidery course.

I truly believe anyone can embroider on paper - so you are welcome to join the course if you wish to try something new or to experience embroidery on new media. The only limit is your imagination :)

What Will I Learn in This Course?

In this course, you will learn four stitches that you can use on paper. You will also learn how to design your own pattern for Hand Embroidery Card on three different embroidery projects. All necessary patterns are available in PDF form in the Resource section.

I will share with you useful tips for materials and tools that you need for embroidery on paper. You can use these techniques to create Embroidery paper cards or you can even frame your finished works and turn them into wall hanging pictures or add a new embroidery panel on your favourite notebook.

What supplies do you Need Supplies to Complete This Course?

You need:

-  threads (ANY!),

Why Should I Choose This Course?

My life drastically changed after I had my knee injury. After COVID-19 my life drastically changed again. I have decided to upgrade my other skills and offer my rich knowledge through online courses.

I am grateful for all that has happened to me because now I am living and working with my passion - embroidery - every day.

My goal is to share my passion for embroidery with other people and inspire them to try it and learn something new.

I want to display techniques clearly so anyone can learn from my videos.

Do You Provide Freebies, Additional Embroidery Patterns and Embroidery How-To(s) Elsewhere?
Yes! I have an embroidery blog:   myembroiderypassions  dot com  - here you will find my Free Patterns, Step-By-Step Tutorials for Beginners, and several Upcycling Ideas. I also write articles about Embroidery Bussines.   

I hope this course is will provide you with new skills and fresh ideas for your future projects!

Stay creative,

Vesna
