"Northwoods Santa" Embroidered Artwork Home Decor Wall Hanging

This was originally a kit from Astor Place Heirloom Santas Entitled: Northwoods Santas published by Willmaur Crafts Corp. It is embroidery floss stitched on Perforated paper which is a card stock or heavier weight paper with a counted cross stitch grid of wholes. I've never used this type of foundation before. It takes longer than fabric as it uses a stab or stick method of stitching. You can't pull it through two wholes at once.
Each Santa is carefully trimmed out, mounted on Stampin' Up Black cardstock and inserted into a 4" x 6" opening in an 11" x 22" frame. The frame is black and each opening is bordered by a metal copper lace trim that was painted brown to antique it. The frame has two openings on the back to hang it on the wall.

Trimming the Artic Santa: I found it easier to use an exacto knife. (Yes, I know mine is a little rusted, but the blade is still super sharp.)
