Stitched Christmas

 Yes I am late getting my Christmas cards for October posted, I have been working on them all month long and I finally got them done. The Challenge for this month in our group was to do stitching on cards, just so happened that I had purchased last years Stitched Advent Calendar from Spellbinders, since they were on sale cheap, plus I got 20% off.

• Recollections - Gingerbread Forest Paper 6x6 

On this snowman I attached it to the card using removable tape so that they can hang it on their tree if they want to.

• My mind's eye - O Christmas tree paper
• Poppystamps - Snowscape die
• Recollections - Sticker book sentiment

Michaels this year had some new dies and the stocking was a new one for me so my hubby picked it up for me and surprised me with it.  I cut the die twice and cut the top with foam sparkle. The borders were washi tape they had and the papers too.  The Santa's beard was to be stitched with just straight lines but I added a few more stitches so his beard would be a little fuller.

On HSN's Craft Day they had these Crystal Art Card kits, they were so cute, I had to pick them up, not realizing half of them are Square, so I decided that I am going to use those ones for the people that I hand deliver cards too.

I love how this company does different sizes of their crystals, makes it even more sparkle and interesting.

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by today,
