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.

Such gorgeous work - I cannot stitch to save my life and am always in awe of those who can. I live near a lovely town in Wales called Llandeilo and the houses in our town are all prettily coloured like the ones in your card. Thanks for sharing with us at Love to Craft
