Noel Hang Your Stocking Trio Cards
The second card from the Hang Your Stocking class features fun stamped stocking patterns and some awesome die-cutting details! I wanted this card design to feature a mix of wintery colors, so I selected Mint Macaron, Emerald Envy & Island Indigo. If you like a more traditional palette, you could easily swap out the Indigo shade for Real Red.
CASEd from Sandy Mott at The Scrap n' Stamp Shop.
Background Basics—The 5" x 3-3/4" Whisper White layer is embossed with the Brick Wall Texture Impressions Folder to give the look of a fireplace. Next, I added a 5" x 1/4" strip of Crumb Cake to create the fireplace mantle. Both layers are matted to a 5-1/8" x 3-5/8" layer if Island Indigo, then adhered to a Mint Macaron card base.
Silver Noel—I decorated the top of the mantle with the Silver Foil "NOEL" die-cut from the Christmas Stocking Thinlits, adhered with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen.
Stocking Trio—Next, I stamped three different Hang Your Stocking stockings, one each in Island Indigo, Mint Macaron & Emerald Envy. TIP: Since these images are very solid, and the stamps are photopolymer, I recommend using a Piercing Mat or catalog as your stamping surface for a firm cushion. Without that extra give, you may find that the center of your images do not stamp well.
Stocking Trim—I die-cut and stamped the heel, toe & cuff trim in the matching color for each stocking and adhered them with SNAIL.
TIP: I die-cut all the pieces for all four of my cards first, die-cutting all three parts with one pass through the Big Shot, then stamped on them afterward. It's a lot faster to stamp over them than line up those small framelits and keep them straight as they go through the die-cutting machine.
Sparkly Details—I added a Silver Glimmer die-cut snowflake to the center of the solid stocking. Then I added Rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes on each stocking. You'll receive a whole package of Rhinestones in your kit, so you can bling it up the way you want!
Finishing Bow—I topped my stockings with a simple Whisper White Baker's Twine bow, attached with a Glue Dot.
Two Cool—For the rest of the cards, I stamped the stocking designs in different colors and switched up the order, just for fun!
I think I like this combination best!
