You can make an embroidered card with help of sewing machine or hand. Normal embroidery techniques and stitches which are used to create decorative fabrics can be used to make crafty and beautiful cards. Usually one strand thread should be used with medium weight card stock. You should not to tear or crease it.

You should have good understanding about the various card designs. Outlined designs work far better than the dense patterns. You can easily embroider separate piece of card. After embroidering it, you can glue that card to a different folded piece. You can directly use this technique instead of embroidering a card directly. You have to choose your card stitches carefully. The card stalk should not be punctured like fabric and it should not bounce back.

Avoid use of dense stitches like satin stitches which make lots of holes close to each other, as it will make your task harder. Stitches which puncture the card stock at regular intervals are the best ones. Whip stitch and the running stitch are the best stitches you can use for your cards. You can decorate the card with crayons or paint or you can draw the outlines of motif to complete the design details of embroidered card.
