Here are the other cards I've done. The counting for the stitches around the deer was surprisingly difficult. Must not have had my light adjusted properly. All these are for American relatives. 97p for stamps to the US!! 97p !!

Serinde - those cards are absolutely stunning!

I stitched my first ever attampt at a humbug for my tree:

Very pretty cards, Serinde!

Great job Meerkat- I especially the post card!

Wow Serinade your cards turned out terrific....the colors are so unique, the bell is my fav .

Very nice job Kell - I don't think anyone would know it was your 1st try if you hadn't said so .

Serinde, your cards are fantastic!! Love the thread you've used in them--can I ask you what it is?
Kell, your humbug is great!! I am definitely going to try and find time to stitch at least one of these up before Christmas!!!

Your cards look pretty Serinade! It's 98cents for my sent cards over there... I am feeling a little ripped off right now

Nice humbug Kell it looks very cute on your tree.

The cards I made and sent to each of my nieces and nephews cost me $1.29 and they were all inside the US.

Love the Pirate Santa made me laugh! Also, Rose beautful stitching on your projects ! You all are so talented!

Serinde,

I pay $1.00 to mail letters to the U.S. from Canada -- and they're right next door!

Love your cards.

Beautiful work, everyone! I just love coming on here and seeing these projects, it is so inspiring!

Serinde, I would love to know what kind of thread you used in your cards as well, it is beautiful!

Gorgeous on the dark fabric, Serinde!

Kell, very successful humbug! (and such an appropriate sort of ornament for Christmas, a humbug )

The thread is a variegated Caron one, called Pistachio Nut (number 7). Stitched on 28ct navy Brittney, I think.

Thank you They are all from JBW Designs, they are the Christmas Tree Collections 1 - 5 and Christmas Keepsakes 1 and 2. Here is a link to the "Joy, Love, Peace" tree. The models are all stitched with Weeks Dye Works but I just used DMC threads and substituted beads for the charms since I was making so many of them.
