Twelve mini Christmas cross stitch patterns, each one a retro postage stamp, Santa, a reindeer, a gingerbread house, hot cocoa, a sleigh and more, every stamp fully stitched right out to its scalloped perforated border.
Each stamp finishes at about 8.9 x 9.1 cm on 14 ct Aida, which is the sweet spot for a hoop ornament, a gift tag or the front of a handmade card. Start with a single stamp, work through all twelve over the season, or frame the whole set together as one Christmas sampler.
Worked in full crosses only, no backstitch, no fractional stitches, no French knots, and no single stamp uses more than a handful of colours, so it suits a first-time stitcher as much as an experienced one who wants easy holiday stitching.
🖼️ WHAT THE DESIGN SHOWS Santa in a holly-trimmed hat · a decorated Christmas tree · a reindeer with a red collar · a stack of wrapped presents · hot cocoa with a candy cane · a "TO SANTA" letter · Santa disappearing down the chimney · a gingerbread house · a sleigh full of gifts · Santa carrying a present · crossed candy canes with a bow · a "NORTH POLE" signpost

- Design size only, please add extra fabric for framing or finishing.
- 🪢 FABRIC SUGGESTION A light natural, cream or antique white Aida is the one to reach for. The scalloped notches around every stamp are unstitched fabric, so a pale ground is what makes each square read as a real perforated postage stamp.

Good to know
You are buying a PDF chart, not a finished piece and not a kit. No fabric, floss or hoop is included. Colors on a screen can look different from real DMC floss. The preview shows how the finished piece could look. Your result depends on fabric count and floss. Files are in English. You need a PDF reader to open the charts. Free ones work fine.
Returns
Because this is an instant download, all sales are final. No refunds, returns or exchanges once the files are available. If a file will not open, the download stops halfway, or you got the wrong item, message me and I will fix it.
- Print it. Hoop it. Stitch it loud.
