Print it. Prick it. Stitch it. Give it.
A stitched card is a greeting card embroidered with thread. Needle & Note gives you the pattern with the work already done: four steps, one evening.
1Print
Pick the card for the occasion and print its page on your own cardstock.
2Prick
Lay the template on the card and push a pin through every dot. The holes land exactly where they belong.
3Stitch
Up at 2, down at 1, up at 3. Follow the numbers and the picture appears.
4Give
Slide in the printed insert, seal the matching envelope, and give a card they'll keep.
One download. Everything you need, for every card you'll ever send.
Six things come in the download. The patterns, the help to stitch them, and everything that turns a card into a gift.
Three Pattern Guides
Every design in three sizes, with the template at true size and the stitch guide enlarged and numbered. Vol. 1: birthdays, weddings, new babies. Vol. 2: Christmas, Easter and the seasons. Vol. 3: thank you, get well, sympathy, pet memorial.
The 12-Project Skill Ladder included
Twelve real cards, one new skill each, from a single heart to a full floral spray. Most people finish it in two weekends.
30 Stitch-Along Videos included
Watch the thread move hole by hole while a slow voice counts with you: one video for every Ladder card, every core stitch and every common slip.
The Stitch Studio included
Reusable pricking templates (rings, hearts, rulers, grids) and four stitch reference cards to keep at the table.
The Year of Cards Planner included
Every birthday in one place, the card to stitch each month, and a gentle two-cards-a-week rhythm, so no card is ever late again.
The Gift-Ready Finishing Kit included
A made-to-measure envelope, a liner, six stitchable gift tags and eight sheets of printed sentiment inserts: Happy Birthday, Thank You, With Deepest Sympathy and more.
One payment. Instant download. Print any pattern as many times as you like, for as long as you like.
It was never your stitches.
If your stitched cards ever came out crooked, or you never finished one, it probably wasn't you. The hard part happens before the needle touches the paper: where each hole goes, how far apart, and which stitch comes first. One of those wrong and a heart leans, a curve goes flat, the card tears.
Needle & Note has that part done. Every hole is already marked where it belongs, at true size. Every stitch is numbered in the order it goes. Your hands only do the part you love.
The dots say where. The numbers say what's next. Printed on every one of the 321 patterns, with the thread color, the number of strands and a hint from the designer.
"But I'm just not creative."
You don't have to be. The design is decided, the holes are marked and the order is numbered. What's left is the part that was always yours: the thread, the colors, the person you're making it for, and the words inside.
See the real pages before you buy.
Fourteen pages from the system, exactly as you'll print them. Tap any page to read it full size.
There are two kinds of birthday card.
Both say happy birthday. Only one of them is still there a year later.
From the shop
- Read once, then into a drawer
- Costs more every year and says less
- The same card everyone else sends
- Nothing of you in it but the signature
Stitched by you
- On the fridge, on the mantel, in the keepsake box
- One evening of your time, a few cents of thread
- Made for one person, in the color they love
- Your hand in every stitch, your words inside
Women who've made them, in their own words.
A Gift That Feels Personal
"I gave my daughter a handmade birthday card, and she actually got emotional! She told me it meant more than any store-bought gift. I never thought something so simple could make someone feel so special."
A Relaxing Evening Ritual
"Instead of scrolling through my phone every evening, I've started making these little embroidered cards. It's become my favorite way to relax after a long day. I genuinely look forward to it!"
Compliments From Everyone
"I brought a few handmade cards to a family gathering, and everyone kept asking where I bought them! Their faces when I said I'd made them myself were priceless."
A Hobby to Share With Grandchildren
"My granddaughter and I made our first cards together last weekend. We laughed, chatted, and spent the whole afternoon creating something beautiful. She's already asking when we can do it again!"
Thoughtful Gifts Without Spending Much
"I used to spend so much money on greeting cards for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays. Now I can make something much more personal at home. And people appreciate them so much more!"
Rediscovering Creativity in Retirement
"Since retiring, I've been looking for something meaningful to fill my afternoons. Needle & Note has given me a lovely creative hobby, and I feel such a sense of accomplishment every time I finish a card."
Making Every Occasion Special
"I started making cards just for birthdays, but now I make them for everything! Thank-you notes, little surprises, even just to cheer someone up. It's such a lovely feeling to brighten someone's day with something handmade."
Finally Just the Stitching
"I always loved the idea of making handmade cards, but I never knew what to put on them. Needle & Note made everything so much easier. I can finally focus on the embroidery instead of worrying about drawing!"
What I Really Needed Was Guidance
"I've spent so much money on crafting tools and dies, thinking they would make my cards look better. Turns out, what I really needed was some guidance. My cards finally look the way I always imagined!"
I Actually Enjoy Making Cards Now
"The best part is that I don't have to figure everything out myself. The designs are beautiful and easy to follow, and I actually enjoy making cards now instead of feeling frustrated."
Something I Am Proud to Give
"I used to spend hours trying to come up with something creative, only to give up before even starting. Now I can sit down, pick a design, and make something I'm genuinely proud to give someone."
Even the Words Inside Are Done
"I absolutely love that even the messages inside the cards are already taken care of! I always struggled with finding the right words, so having everything ready makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable."

Everything you might be wondering
I haven't stitched in years (or ever). Is this really for beginners?
Yes. Beginner kits are hard because they leave the planning to you: where the holes go and what comes next. Here every hole is already marked and every stitch is numbered, and the first video counts the 34 holes of the Big Heart with you. If you can find a dot and the number beside it, you can do this.
What do I need?
Cardstock, embroidery thread, a needle and a pin: the things that are probably already in a drawer. Pick the card you want, print that one page at home, and start the same evening.
My eyes aren't what they were. Will I see the numbers?
There are no squares to count and no chart to follow across a grid: you look for one dot and the number beside it, and every stitch guide is shown enlarged. Work in good light and take your time. If it turns out too hard for your eyes, you get your money back.
How do I get it?
Right after checkout, on your phone, tablet or computer. No app and no account: everything opens with a tap, and it stays yours.
Is it only Christmas?
No. Volume 1 is birthdays and milestones, weddings and new babies; Volume 2 is Christmas, Easter and the seasons; Volume 3 is thank you, get well, sympathy, pet memorial, love and friendship.
Can I sell the cards I make?
Yes. The patterns are for your personal use and for handmade cards you gift or sell individually, at a craft fair, a church sale or to friends. What you can't do is share or resell the pattern files themselves.
What if it's not for me?
Email us within 30 days for a full refund. Nothing to send back, and you keep the files.
