Cross-stitch is a form of sewing and a popular form of counted-thread embroidery in which X-shaped stitches in a tiled, raster-like pattern are used to form a picture.

The stitcher counts the threads on a piece of evenweave fabric (such as linen) in each direction so that the stitches are of uniform size and appearance.

This form of cross-stitch is also called counted cross-stitch in order to distinguish it from other forms of cross-stitch.

Sometimes cross-stitch is done on designs printed on the fabric (stamped cross-stitch); the stitcher simply stitches over the printed pattern.

Cross-stitch is also executed on easily countable fabric called aida cloth but the threads are not actually counted.

Embroidery thread is yarn that is manufactured or hand-spun specifically for embroidery and other forms of needlework.

Rubber stamping, also called stamping, is a craft in which some type of ink made of dye or pigment is applied to an image or pattern that has been , molded, laser engraved or vulcanized, onto a sheet of rubber.

The rubber is often mounted onto a more stable object such as a wood, brick or an acrylic block.

Increasingly the vulcanized rubber image with an adhesive foam backing is attached to a cling vinyl sheet which allows it to be used with an acrylic handle for support.

These cling rubber stamps can be stored in a smaller amount of space and typically cost less than the wood mounted versions.

They can also be positioned with a greater amount of accuracy due to the stamper's ability to see through the handle being used.

Temporary stamps with simple designs can be carved from a potato.
