I wish I had time to make my Christmas cards but I always leave it too late and I haven't even done any Christmas shopping yet this year so it's not really going too well!

Someone gave me a very unusual birthday present last year, a pack of ten cross stitch Christmas cards they had made, for me to give away. All beautifully made, all different, and as I also do cross stitch, I know that they took days and days to make. As you say, it's the finishing on them isn't it, so much more work involved than playing with card and glue and glitter and stamps etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-90895696133222010242010-12-11T10:38:19.309+00:002010-12-11T10:38:19.309+00:00Once I start cross-stitching I just can't stop...Once I start cross-stitching I just can't stop.

I made and wrote all my cards at the end of November - now I can't bloody find where I put them! So I am writing another (bought) batch - in the hope that I do eventually find them, and I wont have any to do next year!

I did once make all my cards using 3D decoupage - that was fun, and relatively quick... and I have been known to make some with rubber stamps (gift tags usually are done that way), but I always justify it by thinking that my Christmas cards are always contributing to charity, and that some of the presents are handmade, instead!Ruthcraftshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230573205788753441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-31906888862837502442010-12-10T21:12:56.192+00:002010-12-10T21:12:56.192+00:00The snowman card is absolutely gorgeous!

If you are interested in cross stitch.<br />If you visit my Flickr site.<br />www.flickr.com/photos/sues_favourite_things, <br />go towards the end of the slide show, you will see a Friendship Quilt I made years ago with the help of my 'old fashioned pen friends' in those days! You might like to see.<br />Rather like my Blankets I collected 6 x 4 cross stitch squares and made a hanging.<br />love to you and thank you for the Square for the project in America. I only require ONE from each person. I am sending a parcel of 80 different squares from 80 different people.<br />Thanks alot, have a good weekend, love suexMrs Twinshttp://www.suesfavouritethings.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4530190092034193112.post-26046855086833317592010-12-10T16:37:07.209+00:002010-12-10T16:37:07.209+00:00Remind me again... which bit of this fabulous disp...Remind me again... which bit of this fabulous display of card craftery is the failure????<br /><br />I only send three christmas cards. And this year I bought them from Paperchase.<br /><br />Yep. <br /><br />Even worse, I have a completed The Snowman cross stitch that I finished aout18 months ago that I've been too lazy to make into anything. Oh, and I have sesame street cross stitched tree decoration.
