Card blank: 5" x 5" dark red hammer
Dies: Spellbinders Nestabilities Standard Circles Large and Classic Scalloped Circles Large
Punch: Woodware squared corner
Embossing: Kars tan embossing mat
Other: Upcycled cross stitch Christmas card
Snippets: Dark red hammer card, gold swirl paper
I trimmed a piece of gold swirl paper slightly smaller than the card blank, punched the corners and attached it to the card. I made a frame with the circle and scalloped circle dies and attached this to the cross stitched candle. I then attached the topper to the card with foam tape - simple!

This is gorgous Kath. Love the way you've framed that super cross-stitched candle xx
Wonderful! Your candle is beautifully stitched and I love the frame and elegant papers. Beautiful!
Lovely card! I've not done any cross stitch for years, and hadn't realised how well it works with papercrafting

C'est charmant Kath, j'aime comment tu as interprété ce sujet, tout en finesse, merci de jouer avec nous chez 52cct, biz
So pretty! Such a lovely piece of cross stitching, beautifully complemented by your frame and patterned paper. Thanks for joining us at 52CCT, April x
Kath, the xstitch candle is so very pretty used as you've done it on this lovely card. So delicate, and yet the colors just shine out. The embossing around the felt circle looked like stitching until I enlarged to see it was embossed. This is one of the best cards I think you have shared, and a perfect Rudolph Day entry! TFS & Hugs.
WOW what an amazing creation...such fabulous stitching
Your creations are gorgeous .So glad I dropped in via the Rudolph Challenge
Would love to have you drop in for a visit
Cheers

A lovely card and a clever idea to upcycle the embroidery. I never want to throw things like that away - I need to think differently about how to use things. I love the background paper.
Your card looks so pretty Kath. The cross stitch candle looks so pretty framed. Barbxx
Cute card Kath, reminds me I have loads of little cross stitch designs which would be perfect for cards : )
