Chic Bauble Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Send luxury Christmas greetings to friends and family - our classy bauble cards are sure to dazzle and delight! Shimmering like a shop window on Christmas Eve, these gorgeous coordinated greeting cards will add a sophisticated touch to any mantelpiece. Ribbons, bows and filigree swirls bring the baubles to life - you could almost reach out and pluck them from the tree! Making your Christmas cards stand out from the crowd has never been easier, thanks to a contemporary palette of magenta pink and lime green, with golden accents and shimmery gold beads. Adding seed beads is a breeze, too, if you've never tried it before (see page 40 for our tips!), and they'll add a touch of glitz that's so welcome at this time of year. Three of Faby's lovely bauble charts feature a fun festive greeting, while the others make an impact on their own, but they all make a perfect card for anyone who brings a bit of sparkle to your life. Patch them onto gold card blanks for an extra-festive finish that's sure to impress.
