Make your cards stand out from the rest by stitching them yourself. Simple motifs don't have to take hours so you can whip up a small stack in an evening and send them to your nearest and dearest - a great way of letting those people who live far away know that you love them, without splashing out on extravagant gifts. Cross stitch can be quite addictive, so be sure to stock up on supplies while you make your way down your Christmas card list!
Christmas Tree
Cut a 9cm square of red 14 count aida and find the centre point. Referring to the chart, stitch the tree design using an assortment of cross stitch and long stitch with two strands of gold, pale green and dark green thread.
Use a single strand of metallic gold combined with a single strand of plain gold thread to sew the star at the top of the tree. Stitch red seed beads in between each dark green cross stitch using red thread to look like baubles.
Cut an 8cm diameter circle in the middle of a 15cm square cream card blank and place the picture behind this. C
