Hang Your Stocking

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care!  The Real Red stockings remind me of the stockings I have purchased for my family. The base of my card is Real Red card stock.  I used the Brick Wall for the Whisper White  background of my card.   The new Cable Knit Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder to create my stockings using Real Red cardstock.  The top trim is Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper.  The Noel at the top if also Real Red.  All of them were cut out with the Christmas Stockings Thinlet Dies in the Big Shot.  The hangers are attached with Glue Dots and the stockings have Dimensionals on the back to hold them in place.

Home for Christmas

Santa is waving to us from inside the window!  This card was made using the Hearth & Home Thinlets and Festival Fireside Framelits, but the Santa, tree, and presents are from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper that I cut out each one with the Paper Snips.  The colors are Real Red, Mossy Meadow and Whisper White.  The "Home for Christmas" is from the Jingle All the Way stamp set.  The punch is the Washi punch, but extended it and layered on Real Red cardstock.  I colored in the pinecones with Soft Suede marker.  I brayered the Brick Wall Embossing Folder with Real Red ink to give a little more dimension.
