Hang Your Stocking Silver Solo Stocking Cards
One of the card designs in my Hang Your Stocking Countdown To Christmas class features the gorgeous, intricately-cut patterned stockings in beautiful Silver Glimmer Paper. We'll be stamping a stack of 4 of these cards. Let's take a closer look…
CASEd from Tracie St. Louis at For The Love of Stamping.
Background Basics—I started by embossing a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White card stock with the Holly Texture Impressions Folder. It's the perfect pattern to coordinate with the holly leaves accent on the stocking! It's mounted onto a Cherry Cobbler card base.
Oval Medallion—I created a foundation for the stocking with the Layering Ovals Framelits using Whisper White for the plain oval layer over a Cherry Cobbler scalloped oval. It's adhered to the card front with Dimensionals.
Silver Stocking—I used the Christmas Stocking Thinlits to die-cut both a solid Cherry Cobbler stocking and a swirly patterned Silver Glimmer Paper stocking. The layers are adhered together with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen, then adhered with SNAIL onto the oval.
TIP—Use the Precision Base Plate along with the Big Shot Die Brush for clean cuts & to easily remove the paper bits.
I also die-cut the stocking trim in Whisper White and adhered it with Glue Dots. TIP—The Glue Dot doesn't stick well to the Glimmer Paper, so it will help to trim down the silver stocking just a bit, so the Glue Dot will have the bottom Cherry Cobbler layer to stick to.
Jingle Bell & Holly—I stamped the holly leaves from the Hang Your Stocking stamp set in Emerald Envy ink onto Whisper White, then die-cut them with the Christmas Stocking Thinlits. It's adhered with Glue Dot. My favorite part of this card is the adorable Mini Jingle Bell…that really jingles! It's attached with another Glue Dot.
TIP—This card is too thick to mail in a standard envelope if it has a jingle bell attached. You will either need to send it in a bubble mailer, or you could use a Rhinestone Jewels in it's place.
Too Cool—I tried out one of the other Christmas Stockings die-cuts on my second version.
I also used a silver jingle bell.
Inside The Card—I added a phrase from the Hang Your Stocking set in Emerald Envy on the 3-3/4" x 5" Whisper White inside layer. I also stamped some holly in Emerald Envy & Cherry Cobbler. What a sweet detail!
Bundle It & Save—Purchase the Hang Your Stocking stamp set and Christmas Stocking Thinlits together in a bundle to save 10% off the cost of purchasing them separately.
