March Rudolph Day

It's time for another Rudolph Day and another cross stitch Christmas card (cross stitch cards are my RD theme this year).  Lynne (Lynne's Craft Haven) contacted me after I posted my February RD card to offer me some Christmas cross stitch magazines.  Not only did Lynne post me several magazines, but she also sent me some cross stitch kits - this cute 'Merry Christmas from Boofle' kit was one of them.  Thank you Lynne!

To make this card I used:
     5" x 5" cream hammer card blank
     Cross Stitch Card Shop 'Merry Christmas from Boofle' cross stitch kit
     My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Square STAX Die-namics' die
     Snippet of cream hammer card

The kit contained a patterned card for the cross stitch to be patched.  However, I wanted to place the design behind an aperture so I used the patterned card for another project and die cut a stitched square aperture in the centre of the card blank.  The completed stitching was fastened to the rear of the aperture and a snippet of cream card inserted inside the card to cover the back of the stitching.

I am entering the following challenges:
     Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Wrapped Up for Christmas
     Love to Craft - Anything Goes   
     Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes
     Rudolph Day- March challenge
     The Cutie Pie Challenge - Something beginning with B (I have chosen Boofle)
