    I remember string art and had never thought of putting it with a card. But I love the look. Also thank you for consistently using your Misti. I have the Tim Holtz Stamping Platform and I take turns going in and out of using it. But you keep showing me how I need to use it consistently every time for beautiful looks. And I really liked the ombré effect in this video. I can’t wait to try it out. Thanks

  14. Carol Koniecki says:

    Jennifer, when I saw the dies for stitching, I instantly thought of you. I’m not surprised that you’re first in the list. And I’m excited by your projects. They are all wonderful. Thanks for sharing your talents.

  15. Shawn Quinn says:

    I really enjoy your stamping style! I designed some cards for a service project for our church with this string art idea. I used a heart, a candle and a cross. I traced the image onto a cardstock and stacked a few underneath and stitched with a long stitch length with my sewing machine and a #90 needle. This made it easy for everyone to follow along. Even the kids were stitching along with us!

  16. Nora Noll says:

    Oh my word!! These are SO FUN!! I could see me doing this in front of the TV in bunches or on some of the long car rides we take to see my daughter at college. Your cards are FABULOUS, as always!!!

  17. Pam says:

    Wow, these are beautiful!!

  18. Marilynn says:

    Thanks for bringing this age old technique with a modern spin. I did this technique about 20 years ago and had forgotten about. It was known as embroidering on paper. Your cards are absolutely beautiful.

  19. Tammy Hanson says:

    Love your techniques. Always looking for something new to try. This is fantastic. FYI it seems your pin button isn’t working. It says their is an error in the parameters. Love to keep them on my boards so that when I need inspiration I can find them. Otherwise I go to your blog and spend glorious hours looking at all types of things and loose track of what I was trying to find. Easily distracted by all the beauty!! Thanks again for sharing.
