Inspired by Faith Christmas Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Delight in the real meaning of Christmas, with these richly colourful card designs. With December just around the corner, 'tis the season to be stitching! And, if you're on the lookout for unique cards to cross stitch with a special message of peace and love for your nearest and dearest, we think that these classic, timeless greetings would be ideal. From the starlit Bethlehem scene to the richly robed three wise men, it'll be a real treat to stitch the sweet details in each of these little designs. There's a chance for you to try out a few fractionals and French knots too. We love how the bright colour palette gives this set of cards a lovely contemporary twist. Display them by patching each stitched piece onto deckled-edge card blanks in festive golds and reds, and decorate with a matching thread bow to finish. So what are you waiting for? Thread up your needle today and spread some Christmas joy with designer Jane's meaningful little cards - we think they perfectly capture the true reason for the season.
