Retro Cross-stitch Cards

Look at these adorable cross-stitch cards available in the current mini catalog from Stampin' Up! - how great are these.   It is the Sweet Threads Simply Sent kit - item #126924.   I remember doing cross-stitch cards similar to this the 70's and I loved them.  These kits come with the bases pre-printed in pink and green, white envelopes, 8 die-cut pattern pieces (4 flowers, 4 cupcakes), embroidery floss, needles and dimensionals.  You can also purchase a coordinating stamp set with the words "Thank  You" and "Happy Birthday", but I opted to use a "thanks" that I had on hand.  I also added the Regal Rose Taffeta Ribbon for a little added touch - but they were pretty even before.

I really love how they turn out and they are soooo fast to complete.
