Versatile Stockings

Playing around with the Stitched Stocking set & punch has been a lot of fun.   And I'm sure you're all dying to be able to buy it come Dec 1st.    Here's a sneak peek at some of the cute things you can use it for:

Now I can use this stamp set & punch all year round....woohoo!  I stamped the stockings in Pretty in Pink on Whisper White then cut about a third off the top.   Trimming the little scallop tops was easy then I stuck then back onto the stocking base with snail.  The Striped embossing folder looks great with Flirtatious DSP layered on top.    Hello Baby came from Teeny Tiny Sentiments and the rhinestones......shhhhhh....are covering up a mistake!

Rudolph is made by using the stocking upside down.   The antlers came from the Bird Builder punch and the nose is from the Owl builder.  His ears are the heel of stocking punch.

Timeless Portrait DSP gives this a non-traditional look for Christmas.  The stockings make great "L's" and I've used the Timeless Type alphabet Sizzlits for the other letters.  This is a slightly different shaped Joy fold card with the width of the fold out piece rather long, but necessary because of the length of the word.  Tip - make it bit deeper so that the card can stand up when open....oops!   Triple layer Doily Punch used for the closer and the Cherry Cobbler stamping on the background piece is from Season of Joy.

 Now, go play with your punches!!

Season of Joy

Christmas is coming yet again, far too quickly!   I am really struggling with my own card design this year, but maybe the mist will clear once the cards for the troops are finished.  Anyway, this is what I have for you today:

It's in the style I like with the squares and the set is a particular favourite of mine.
Supplies Used:
Stamp Set - Season of Joy & Heard from the Heart
Cardstock - Whisper White, Always Artichoke & Cherry Cobbler (love that red!)
Ink - Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive & Real Red
The brad I've used for the star is from the Styled Silver Hodgepodge.   And the rhinestone is from the new Jewels range.
I've edged everything with Dazzling Diamonds glitter and also put a few dabs of glitter on the tree and in the centre of the poinsettias.   To get the edging, I used a Zig Two Way glue pen - they're great because they have that flat tip so you can run it along the edge of a ruler to get the straight line that's an even width.  Then just sprinkle on your glitter and away you go!

Happy Stampin"
