Cupcake Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Turn your needle to this vibrant array of delicious sweet treats, and send with love to your lucky recipients! There's something so irresistible about beautifully decorated cupcakes, especially when they're as colourful and elaborate as these ones! Buttercream piled high, and decorate with cherries, sprinkles and the sweetest little flowers, we think these stitchy versions look just as good as the real thing. And, just the thought of recreating these indulgent treats in stitches is enough to make our mouths start watering... With backstitched sentiments that are perfect for so many occasions, this sweet set is oh-so-versatile. Cross stitch to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, a special milestone or even to wish someone good luck! Framed by a simple, scalloped-edge border, each chart is worked using whole stitches, fractionals for shaping - and there's also a scattering of French knots for added interest. Finish by mounting in brightly coloured, oblong aperture cards... they're sure to go down a treat!
