Animal Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Stay toasty on chilly winter evenings and cosy up under a blanket with these heartwarming all-occasion cards. Could anything be cuter than an owl bundled up in a chunky knit? How about a giraffe keeping his long neck nice and warm? Or maybe a smart kitty enjoying his new stripy scarf? This set of six cards is so handy to keep in your stash, be it for a winter birthday, last-minute Christmas greeting, or even a thank you for those festive gifts you'll receive. And you can easily finish a design over a couple of evenings. Just because these cards are quick and easy to stitch, doesn't mean they're not filled with details, though. Using whole cross stitches, fractionals for the shaping and backstitch for definition, there's still enough technique within each mini make to keep your needle busy from the first stitch to the last. Decorate your cards with sequins like ours, for a touch of seasonal sparkle, and adapt the thread shades in the borders and scarves to suit your recipient, use up your stash, or add even more yuletide glitz!
