I made this card for our new neighbours and have used a lovely design by Durene Jones, using a free chart on her Facebook page.
To make this card I used:
6" x 6" white linen card blank
Durene Jones 'Home Sweet Home' chart
14 count white aida
DMC threads
My Favorite Things 'Inside & Out Stitched Circle STAX Die-namics' die
Snippet of white linen card
After stitching the design I set it aside to make the frame for the card blank. I trimmed a snippet of white card so it was slightly smaller than the card blank and die cut the largest stitched circle from the centre. I trimmed the fabric so it was a little smaller than the frame and attached it with strong tape. The panel was then attached to the centre of the card blank.
I am entering the following challenges:
Allsorts - Anything Goes
Ally's Angels - Anything Goes
Little Red Wagon - Stitches (my card used both cross stitch and a stitched die
Love to Craft - Anything Goes
