Last year I bought some pre-loved Christmas cross stitch charts and kits and this cute robin was amongst them. It had originally been a cover gift with a magazine and is from a design by Lucy Heaton.
To make this card I used:
4" x 4" white matt card blank
Robin cross stitch kit by Lucy Heaton
Lawn Fawn 'Outside In Stitched Square Stackables' dies
Snippet of dark red matt card
The kit gave instructions to patch the finished design onto the card blank that had been in the kit, but I chose to make my own card blank. After finishing the stitching I attached it to the rear of a frame that had been die cut from dark red card and then attached it to the front of the card blank. The kit also contained a small bell for the top of the tree and a small bow for the bottom of the tree, but I chose to leave them off to make the card design simpler and also also to make it easier and cheaper to post the card.
