Ho Ho Ho

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

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!

I think this is a splendid Santa and a lovely idea to enclose one of these with the Secret Santa present Kath. x
