A simple design, but I like it!
This is the 'you're leaving to have a baby' card (I'm guessing they're just called maternity cards) I made for my manager recently. The cross stitch design looks simple, but it was surprisingly fiddly. It was stitched on 32 count aida so I was a bit cross-eyed by the end. It also has metallic thread which is notorious for tangling.
You can't see it very well, but the gold
embellishment is a baby's bottle embossed
on gold vellum.
I'm not sure why my photos of cards keep coming out rubbish. I think I need to explore my camera settings a bit more. More examples of poorly photographed cards are below. The first was a birthday card for my mother-in-law, and the second was for my neice's 3rd birthday. Not that I'm trying to catch up on craft blogging in one post or anything.
Another simple card. I think it works
ok, but I feel there is something
missing.
A very girly card! I can't say I'm a fan of the
design,but it seemed perfect for a 3 year old girl.
I messed up the French knots used for the eyes too,
so the bear looks like she's stroking out.

Your cards are brilliant, I especially like the anniversary one. My card was lovely as well and I didn`t feel it had anything missing.
Love Lynn
I'm glad you liked your card. I think that's the nature of any crafter; you always see what you could have done better!
They are lovely Lainey. Your manager must have been thrilled with her card.
I love the design on Emma's card. I don't know if you noticed, but I still have it on the mantlepiece in the lounge and it was her birthday 3 months ago!
I had noticed; it was a nice boost for my ego!
