Snowy Christmas Mini Cat flatfold and perforated paper cross stitch


Hi everyone, this week I have been playing around with perforated paper and I love it!

I remember using this in primary school, which is a long time ago, but like it was yesterday.

If you have never used perfoarted paper before it is basically thick card with holes in for you to cross stitch onto. I stitched one of my free patterns and made it into a flatfold, I love these as they are so easy to display at Christmas time. I then chose the little parcels and the stocking from within the same pattern and made these little hanging tags, I stitched the design twice, one reverse side around so that I could glue the sides together for a neat back. 

The free pattern for this Snowy Cat cross stitch pattern  is available here on my blog.


This is the reverse side


Hand made with love gift tag

I played around some more and stitched the little teapot and tea tag from my Tea Time Mini cat pattern 





I designed this small card and wrapped it with the home sweet home pillow, it is a gift for someone. 


Until next time, happy stitching!

  5. Very pretty and original, Lynn
    I prefer plastic canvas to perforated paper though... It's durable, can be transparent or white and actually costs much less
