Question: Hand stitiching on paper

Looking for sites with embroidery on paper patterns.

I've seen all the books on Amazon.com and have used several patterns I found on these three sites. Wondering if there are any more out there to continue this hobby.

Since the idea seems to have originated in Europe, maybe foreign language sites exist?

I've always heard them referred to as "sewing cards" so I put that term into Google and got some results. Maybe there will be some sites in that list that you haven't seen before.

I've heard this called "card embroidery." Have you seen this site yet? Is this "string art" style what you're primarily interested in? Because there's also Victorian punched paper embroidery. You might try Googling that term as well.
