This card is made with more of my holiday stitching using a chart from Cross Stitch Favourites magazine. I thought it would perfect as a New Home card for a friend who is moving to the coast.

To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
Spellbinders Nestabilitites 'Classic Squares Large' dies
Poppy Brenner's 'Happy Homes' chart
White 14 count aida
DMC threads
Snippet of white matt card
I trimmed a snippet of white matt card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank. I die cut and embossed a square aperture which was the same size at the stitched area. I then realised the squares on the aida were not true squares as the stitching was a perfect fit across the width aperture but it was one row short from top to bottom, so I had to stitch another row across the bottom! The stitching was then attached behind the aperture and the panel attached to the front of the card blank.
