This week’s challenge for the Daring Cardmakers Countdown to Christmas doesn’t need to be a card, it could be any craft project.

But it must feature trees!

I recently made some stitched Christmas tree projects and shared them here.

Here’s one as a reminder:

They use a die by The Stamp Market that adds a pattern of dots ready to stitch your design.

Well, I have an upcoming crop that I wanted to pack light for and thought this would be a good project for that evening.

I decided to start by cutting lots of trees from various left-over cardstock pieces that I thought would work on a card.

And here are the first three that I stitched one evening:

Ready to appear on Christmas cards next year! 😀

After that experiment, I’ve ordered more embroidery thread online in mixed colours ready to stitch some more trees at the crop. 🙂

Check out the lovely tree projects from the rest of the design team here!

Happy crafting!

    Great card! I recently purchased this die set so your card caught my eye. Wish I could create with those…
