Stampin' Up! Sweet Little Stockings Christmas Card

+

Hi!  Thanks for visiting my blog today.  I used Stampin' Up's Sweet Little Stockings Bundle to create today's card, along with the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper.  If you love critters, or have people in your life who do, you need this set!  I love the sweet animals, fun stockings and great patterns included in every part of this bundle and the coordinating paper!  The fact that (almost) every image has a coordinating die is a great bonus. :)

MEASUREMENTS

Cherry Cobbler Card Base ~ 8-1/2" x 5-1/2", score at 4-1/4"

Old Olive Cardstock ~ 4-1/8" x 5-3/8", 2" x 3-1/4"

Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper ~ 4" x 5-1/4", 1/2" x 4"

Basic White Cardstock ~ 4" x 5-1/4" (inside) and scraps

• Stamp the puppy, stocking, hat and candy cane on the Basic White CS scraps using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
• Color the images with Stampin' Blends.
• Stamp the sentiment in the center of the small piece of Old Olive CS using Versmark ink.  Cover the stamped sentiment with Black Embossing Powder.  Tap off the excess powder.  Then, set with the Heat Tool.
• Use the smallest die from Scalloped Contours Dies to cut out the sentiment. 
• Cut out the stamped and colored images with the coordinating dies from Stockings Dies
• Adhere the DSP layer to the larger Old Olive CS with your favorite adhesive. 
• Attach each end of the Ribbon behind the Old Olive CS with Glue Dots.  Tie a 'faux bow' around the ribbon.  Secure it to the DSP with another Glue Dot. 
• Glue the puppy to the top of the stocking with just a tiny amount of glue.  Add another tiny strip of glue to the hat before attaching it to the puppy's head. 
• Use Stampin' Dimensionals to attach the DSP & Old Olive layers to the Card Base.
• Attach the sentiment and stocking (with puppy & hat) to the front of the card, as shown. 
• Use a touch of glue to attach the candy cane to the edge of the sentiment piece. 

Attach the strip of DSP to the bottom of the 4" piece of Basic White CS.  Then, stamp the greeting using Cherry Cobbler ink.  Adhere to the inside of your card with your favorite adhesive. 

I hope you enjoyed this card!
