Easy Christmas Cards SAL - December

Welcome to the twelfth and last part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I used two colours of perforated paper - the pattern this month is so small I could use scraps from other projects and I didn't have enough of the same colour to do the three I wanted to do. As this month is the busiest time of year I decided to keep the pattern small and only use cross stitch. At 208 stitches in four colours it's a quick stitch and fun to do at that. It took me an evening to stitch all three and a short time to make the card.

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - November

Welcome to the eleventh part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I'm afraid this is a bit late - I'd fallen asleep on the sofa after dinner and didn't wake up till shortly before this had to go up. This month I used plain white perforated paper to make an ornament the exact same size and shape as the ornament on the March card - In fact you could stitch this month's one on perforated plastic too and make a matching card!

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - October

 

Welcome to the tenth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I used a perforated paper bauble shape to make my card, but you could also use normal perforated paper or plastic Aida to make yours. If you are lucky you might even find wooden ones in your local crafty shop!

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - September

Welcome to the ninth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I used perforated paper to stitch the elements for the card - I didn't fully finish the card as I want to make a couple more elements but stitching hasn't been easy lately and I only managed three.

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - August

Welcome to the eighth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I used a pre-cut perforated paper Christmas tree shape I bought earlier this year thinking it would be fun to use. Obviously not everyone can get hold of this as I'm not sure how widely spread the sale is nor if shops would even stock something like this in August. However the pattern can be stitched on perforated paper, plastic Aida or on plain fabric as well so find something to stitch on and go for it!

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - July

Welcome to the seventh part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I pulled the bit of plastic Aida I have out and used a small bit of it to make the stitched part of this month's card. I also used some leftover threads from old kits I'd completed, a bit of paper from an old sketchbook and some leftover green card from some crafty project the kids did way back when.

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - June

Welcome to the sixth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! This month I decided to use a bit of perforated paper, a scrap of felt, the ribbon (pressed) and bell of a Lindt Christmas deer, and some of the DMC Light Effects thread that's been lurking in a thread box not getting used as I usually grab Kreinik for sparkly stitching. No photo of the "ingredients" this time as it sort of happened as I was making it rather than a planned thing.

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - May

Welcome to the fifth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I had a bit of fun with the stitching this time. I decided to challenge myself and see what I could make with what I could find on my desk... which turned out to be a lot more than anticipated! I *may* need to clear my desk up... just maybe though!

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - April

Welcome to the fourth part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I'm running a bit later than planned. It's been one of those days where you start and everything looks like it's going to go smoothly and then one thing after another happens to slow you down. However I did get the stitching done for this SAL before it was time to post this but there is so much to show in this post that as I didn't start writing it when I should have I will be late - I'm sorry. Please note that there are LOADS of photos on this page, only load if you are on Wi-Fi if viewing my blog on a mobile device.

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - March

Welcome to the third part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I hope you are all well! If you haven't been seeing all my recent posts you may have missed that I have started a 14 day Mini Magical Mystery SAL yesterday - you can read all about it here. I thought I'd mention it just in case you wanted to join in - catching up should take about 10 minutes at this stage of things. Now back to this month's Easy Christmas Card SAL! This month I used perforated plastic to stitch an ornament that you can fix to the card but as usual you can always stitch it on perforated paper or fabric (fabric may need a bit more work depending on how you decide to finish it).

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - February

Welcome to the second part of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I'm running late again, as seems to be the norm lately - hopefully I'll be able to get back on schedule more frequently now that my fiancé is off back to his job abroad -  I waved him off to the airport earlier and then realised I still had a card to stitch and make! Good thing this card is a quick one to make!

Easy Christmas Cards SAL - January

Welcome to the first of the Easy Christmas Cards SAL! I'm running late again - sorry! This month to start things off I have stitched on perforated paper as it gives you lots of options of how to use it next. If you don't have perforated paper that's fine, just use fabric instead.

Stitching Christmas cards is something I always plan on doing but never really get round to doing. This is mostly because of all of the stitching I do for the blog - there's often not much time left when I've finished so I thought that for 2020 I'd not only make sure I try to stitch a card every month but to also keep it nice and easy too so it's a nice quick stitch.
