Help with slim line cards

Hello and good afternoon to everyone. Came across the new type of cards called slim line cards.
I came across some at the design store. Got some and they are good. However i tried to make own design with stitching around the layer. This was fine. Then i tried to put stitching in a frame and cut out border of squares and circles but the stitching disappeared.Tried and tried. Just wondering if someone would point me in the right direction please.
These new frames are popular now on varies sites and tv. Keep well and safe to everyone.:thanks:

Just had a look in the store and they look like they're DL card's. Can you upload a screenshot of what you're wanting to do

Thanks Doreen. I started searching again.I am almost getting there. i would like small squares and circles around my frame.Can only use the dash line on the frames. I shall do my best to do snap shot.

Here are the frames i am trying to make. Would like make ones with small squares,small ovals faux stitching etc.
Not sure how to post the picture of frames.

Sorry but attachment wont load to my reply. Thanks everyone and good morning.

Do you mean something like this Ruth ? If so one way to do it is by using the replicate tool. Re attaching files when you have browsed for the file are you then clicking on upload file ?

I would need to see what you want as I can't visualise it Ruth. I hope what Shirley has suggested helps .....you could always use a pen to draw the faux stitching

Hello everyone thanks for your help. Yes Shirley that's what i mean. Shall try this. Thanks Doreen shall try the pen too. Have not thought about using pens to draw the circles. Happy crafting everyone.:thanks:

Hello tried uploading again and it worked. Shall be adding this to my note book how to attach files to threads. Thanks again. I am grateful.:thanks:

Hi there. I have made lots of the squares and circles with faux stitching. Make your 3 squares (or circles) the sizes you want them - outer, inner and middle one. Get them all to "centre on page" then select the middle one and change the solid line to dashed lines - TADAH! Hope I have got what you want right.

Thank you Yiayia. just don't understand. Shirley Anne is there a tutorial somewhere on video as i don't really understand what i am doing. Sorry it is just me.Did not even know about the replicate. thanks everyone

I used the replicate to path function Ruth , this might help you. Basically you would draw the oblong ( make a copy) and the circle then open the replicate panel and with your circle selected choose the object on path tool, click on show grab handle then drag your circle on to the rectangle and choose how many repeats you want. When you are happy with it select release copies then go back to your copy rectangle and do an interal and external offset to the width of the border you want then just centre align everything - sorry I'm better at doing than expalining !

Hello Shirley Anne thanks for explaining this and the image. I shall watch this video.Thanks everyone for your help.:)

Hello Shirley Anne and everyone who have helped me. Well watched the videos yesterday evening just could not understand.
Watched video again and again this morning and it clicked. I was able to make a frame with stars. Thank you all so much for your kindness and patience.
Happy crafting.:thanks:

Pleased you managed it in the end Ruth

Glad you got there in the end Ruth

Good morning everyone. Yes Shirley Anne and Doreen i am so pleased thank you so much. Yiayia , i tried your way of making faux stitch lines on a square or circle, it worked for me yesterday. But when i changed shape in the middle to Faux Stitching, i moved the faux stitch shape to the center of the frame there the stitching was dragged to right position in the frame,.Rembmber to send the frame to the back so the faux stitching is at the front of frame.
