I stitched this design when we were away earlier this year - the cute Santa is perfect for the current Christmas Kickstart Challenge 'Santa in September' challenge.

To make this card I used:
5" x 5" white matt card blank
Durene Jones 'Santa' cross stitch chart from Cross Stitch Favourites magazine
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
14hpi white aida
DMC threads
Snippet of green textured card
After completing the stitching I set it aside to make the card. I didn't have a snippet of red card large enough to make the front of the card, so chose green instead. I trimmed the card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut a stitched aperture from the centre. I attached the stitching to the back of the aperture and then the panel to the front of the card.
I am entering the following challenges:
