I was interested in these answs. also. I've been brave enough to buy some card stock but not bold enough to try. Thanks for asking the ques. Crowe I'm always wanting to try something new but scared.

crowe , I have done several with no problems, If you are unsure. do as Loretta suggested , on fabric but, the cardstock works well if you don't make to dense. A flower for you.

crowe, I have made many of them, especally at Christmas and birthday's. No trouble except with to dense of a design, but they do have designs that are made for cards, too. You could purchase those and hopefully not have trouble. *4U

crowe, if you are worried about stitching on card stock, do you work on a piece of cotton and then paste it on the card stock. But a design that isn't too dense would work well on card stock, something like redwork, toile or an outline. A flower for you.

I saw a great tip that said to do your test sewouts and use them as your cards. You wouldn't actually sew on card stock, but would insert the test design. I thought it was a good idea. (I use mine in a notebook to sell from) ;)

Haven't tryed doing so yet. But have seen some real nice one done at a craft fair. Just don't use the real dense design cause they will make a hole like, cut tham self out where the design was. good luck!! warm hugs and flowers to you both

I have not done this, but go into projects and look at some of the ones that have been posted by others. I download the directions from Emblibrary and have plans to try this.
