Winter Cards

14 ct, stitched over 1

Stitch these picture-perfect seasonal cards, ideal for birthdays and all-occasion celebrations. These greeting cards may be small, but designer Jenny has packed each mini scene full of detail. We love how each design features a different wintry landscape, from the quaint cottage to the cheery snowman and country church. Each charming chart makes for a relaxing and quick-to-finish stitch - and they'd be perfect for all levels of stitchers, for so many different occasions. Stitch to celebrate a winter birthday or anniversary, a thank you, or even just to let a loved one know you're thinking of them. Worked in a soft palette of frosty colours, you'll achieve the painterly effect of these landscapes using mainly whole cross stitches, some in two strands, some in one, for a real sense of 3D depth, then a little backstitch to bring out the details. Each fits neatly in a circular aperture card blank, too, excellently colour-matched for a perfect finish. Stitch them for your stash, ready to have handy to send to your loved ones!
