cross stitch greeting card kit

Kits specify a suggested age of 14 years and up and include a CPSC choking-hazard warning for small parts.

Descriptions say cross-stitching is meditative and relaxing and that the kits are suitable for beginners, appropriate for both children and adults after some initial practice.

Kits include either an embellished or a blank card plus an envelope so you can finish the stitched design as a greeting card.

Descriptions note the plastic mesh canvas is small and easy to carry, making the kits portable. The finished card measures about 10.5 x 15 cm (3.94 x 5.91 in), which supports compact on-the-go stitching.

Kits generally include a printed Aida canvas, 6-ply stranded cotton (mouline) thread, an embellished or blank card plus an envelope, a chart/instruction sheet, and a needle.

Kits use a printed Aida canvas and 6-ply stranded cotton (mouline) thread.

Thread color counts vary by kit and include 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 23, and 29 colors.

Patterns are printed directly on the included Aida canvas, and most kits also include a chart/instruction sheet and a needle to support stitching.
