May Rudolph Day

It's time for another Rudolph Day and another cross stitch Christmas card - which is my theme this year.  This card uses a 'preloved' Anchor Momentos cross stitch kit I found in a charity shop and stitched whilst in our campervan last week.


To make this card I used:
     4" x 4" cream hammer card blank
     Anchor Momentos 'Bell' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things ' Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
     Snippet of cream hammer card

After finishing the stitching I mounted it behind a stitched circle aperture that had been die cut in the front of the card blank.  I attached a piece of the same card behind the stitching to cover the fabric.

I am entering the following challenges:

Glamour Lady

I made this card for a friend's birthday using a Kanban topper from my 'oddments' drawer, plus snippets of coordinating card.

To make this card I used:
     DL white matt card blank
     Kanban 'Glamour Ladies' topper
     Snippets of gold mirri and purple/gold foiled card

I trimmed the snippet of purple foiled card, layered it onto a snippet of gold mirri and attached it to the card blank.  The topper had got a gold edge, but I trimmed around the edge and layered it onto a snippet of gold mirri so it would match the backing layer.  The topper was then attached to the centre of the card.

I am entering the following challenges:

     Love to Craft - Anything Goes
