I take part in a couple of 'Secret Santas' each year and like to make a small Santa card to enclose with my present - this Mouseloft design is perfect for this year's SS. I had been gifted the chart and left over threads which I matched to some of my own threads to stitch the design.
To make this card I used:
4.5" x 3.5" red tri-fold card with circle aperture
Mouseloft 'Ho Ho Ho' chart
14hpi cream aida
DMC threads
After stitching the design I trimmed around the edge of the fabric and mounted it behind the aperture before folding the card behind the stitching to cover the back of the design. Simple!
I am entering the following challenges:
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
Christmas Kickstart Challenge - Santa in September
Love to Craft - Anything Goes
Merry Little Christmas Challenge - Anything Christmas Goes

What a wonderful card to find with secret Santa gifts
Oh, my goodness, what a very special Santa card! I haven't done a secret Santa since I retired, but what fun while it lasted! Thank you so much for sharing with Jo and me at Christmas Kickstart!
Secret Santa... now that takes me back! Love your cross stitch Santa, so, so cute. Thanks for joining Leslie and me at The Christmas Kickstart Challenge, Jo x
I think this is a splendid Santa and a lovely idea to enclose one of these with the Secret Santa present Kath. x
