    Love the “new” way to use string art on cards. Years ago we used punches to create geometric shapes around which you could string thread, floss, etc. Looking forward to trying this method.

  28. Catherine L says:

    Beautiful! My daughter has done some string art. She would love these cards!

  29. Carol Daigle says:

    FYI facts: An English woman named Everest Boole was one of the first to “invent” string art. Born in 1832, she was self-taught in mathematics and married a fellow math expert, George. She suggested that string art could help teach math to children. Some of us know it as Spirelli. I haven’t done it in years, but your video looked so inspiring, I want to get out my floss and needles again. I like the way you popped it up with foam tape. Hero Arts has products for loads of fun projects. TY once again Jennifer for you great ideas.

  30. Donna Wyant says:

    The cards are beautiful and can’t wait to try them. You make it all look so easy. Have watched you do and use cross stitch on your cards and you have me doing that now too. so my next step will have to be string art. Looking forward to trying it.

  31. Esther Ogozaly says:

    I love doing paper embroidery. You have given me new ideas for my creations. I have to try these out. Thank you for the chance of winning.

  32. Claudia says:

    Awesome cards and great technique. I love cross stitching so i am going to try this with some of my varigated floss.

  35. janesprando says:

    Thanks for airing this technique… and for the tips on layering stamps and new stamps.

  36. SherylH says:

    Such a cool technique — and also a way to use my collection of odd threads that were only needed for one cross stitch project.

  37. Barbara says:

    Love the look of the string art on these cards. I’m making some jr. legal pad covers and think this technique will be great on them. Thanks, as always, for showing us a fun, “new” concept.

  38. grammasuzi says:

    I have not bounced back well after 2 major back surgeries this past summer. My biggest complaint is that I haven’t been able to craft!!! You keep filling my head with ideas. I want to try them all! This looks like so much fun! I have helped granddaughter Sequoia make a few things, but we both need so papertherapy! I will pin this, too, to remind me to come back. Thank you, dear one!

  39. lilbit54 says:

    These are great cards!! I needed some ideas for general use type cards. Love these!!!

  41. Becky Moore says:

    Wow! I loved the cards! I haven’t stitched on cards for awhile and the dies (and graph paper) made the technique seem much easier. Time to try it again! I really liked the leaf stamp – especially with the embossed dot layer on top!
