This is so extremely awesome. I really want to make one. I always make cards by hand and this is a perfect idea. I don't have cardstocks or ribbons though. (I might have the ribbons but I am not sure.). By the way where can I buy/get the cardstocks?

[cyberseams]

I purchased mine at an office supply store. I used Avery Inkjet Textured Half-Fold cards for the video - but any card stock should work fine, it just needs to be a thick paper so it doesn't tear when you put the needle through it.

[saja1010]

Ok thanks. So will construction paper work if its thick enough

[cyberseams]

Hmm. It might be good to double or even triple the construction paper, unless it's a very thick stock. But as long as you can get it thick enough to avoid tearing, I imagine it would work just fine.

very nice! I love it! did you use cardstock?

[cyberseams]

Yes, the actual paper I used is the Avery Inkjet Textured Half-Fold cards - but any card stock should work fine.
