I am doing some Christmas cards using some of my old cross stitch patterns. After I'm finished with th stitching I plan on making them into cards.

Since this is a pegboard die, I of course use it to make father's day cards with little die-cut tools placed all over it. (And a mother's day card for a friend who stores her craft tools on a pegboard!) But I also use it to make perforated paper from heavy cardstock for cross stitching and beaded cross stitch. It also makes an instant polka dot stencil if you use your tiniest detail brush. And you can use all the leftover paper bits from all those tiny holes in your shaker cards. My only wish is that this die was twice the size so I could make bigger perforated paper. I love this die!

The Cross Stitch doesn't ACTUALLY make see thru holes and the Pegboard's holes are just a TAD too big. I do NOT want to cross stitch with. I want to stencil on them and use them for backgrounds. And I will. Well, already have. I love them both. I was just hoping that the Cross Stitch holes were a micro bit bigger.

This is another simple, but oh so versatile die. It looks great with or without the holes open. You can use the diecut as is or you can embroider it. I've seen some amazing embroidered samples. You can even use a pen to draw x or slash marks to look like embroidery. Highly recommend!

Initial die was non-functional, but was beautifully replaced by one that works much better! Thank you Altenew!
