It's time for another Rudolph Day challenge and another card I've made with a magazine cover gift (which is my RD theme this year). This cute teddy was a cover gift with Cross Stitch Card Shop magazine. I had previously stitched the design but kept the pattern to stitch again with snippets of fabric and threads.
I stitched the teddy using oddments of thread left over from other projects onto a small piece of 14hpi white aida. I attached a snippet of 'Merry Christmas' paper onto white card and trimmed it so it was slightly smaller than the card blank before rounding the corners. I die cut a stitched circle from the centre of the panel and glued the fabric to the rear of the frame before attaching it to the front of the card blank.
To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
Cross Stitch Card Shop cover gift pattern
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
Woodware corner rounder punch
Snippets of Lili of the Valley 'Classic Christmas' paper, white card, 14hpi aida, DMC threads
I am entering the following challenges:
