Long slim Christmas Card – Sweet Little Stockings

Welcome to Week 2 of my Christmas Countdown series which is a long, slim Christmas card with Sweet Little Stockings. This is from the Sweet Stockings Suite on page 30-31 of the July/December 2021 Mini.

Where do you hang your stocking? I thought – mantlepiece, so here it is!

I only used a selection of items from the Suite.

  • Sweet Little Stockings Stamp set (used the little stars stamp for inside of card)
  • Stockings dies
  • Jolly Felt
  • Sweet Stockings 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5) Designer Series Papers.

The Designer Series papers have images you can die cut with the Stockings dies set. Among them is a sheet of stockings. Although you can use the stamps to stamp your own, I opted to die cut the ones in the patterned paper. They are so pretty!

I also die cut some Holly Leaves and berries out of the Jolly felt pieces and couldn’t resist die cutting the toe, heel, and cuff of the stocking as well. Only one of the stockings had this extra element to make it “pop”. Can you make out which one
