Beaded card – Stitching on paper with beads

Hi friends,

Excited to share this card with you today. I’ve been working with beads a lot lately and in keeping true to form I had to find a way to incorporate them into my Cardmaking.

Watch this video on my Instagram profile to see a step by step tutorial on how I did this.

I used a tracing wheel ruler and paper piercer to draw and pierce a line at the vertical and horizontal midpoints of the card and also diagonally

I threaded a needle and knot the thread before pushing through my first hole from the back of the card panel to the front. I then added beads to the needle and thread and pushed the needle back through the same hole to secure the beads.

I Continued adding single or multiple beads until all your holes are beaded.

I cut a small circle from acetate and used transparent mounting tape to adhere it to the centre of the card. I then cut the sentiment die from Erin Lee creative in gold mirror cardstock and foam adhering both to give the sentiment dimension. I then adhered the sentiment to the acetate circle on the card.

I placed random beads and sequins around the sentiment using glue.

And that’s it!

Hope this inspires you to incorporate some stitching with beads in your cards.
