It's time for the sixth Rudolph Day of the year and another cross stitch Christmas card (cross stitch is my RD theme this year). This is the second design from the Vervaco cross stitch kit I purchased earlier in the year (Rudolph was the first card I made from the kit).

Vervaco Christmas card kit (PN-0154080)
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Rectangle STAX Die-namics' die
Snippet of white hammer card
I made my own card aperture card blank for this card as the ones in the kit were too flimsy. As I didn't have the right size die to cut the aperture, I used a rectangle die that was the correct width but a little too short. I cut three quarters of the aperture, then moved the die down the card to elongate the aperture and cut the remainder. I trimmed around the edge of the panel so it was slightly smaller than the card blank. After completing the stitching I fastened it behind the frame and then attached it to the card.
I am entering the following challenges:

Beautifully done and I know what you mean about the card blanks that sometimes come with these kits, and a great idea to cut your own Kath to give it a better finished look as it rightly deserves. x
