Happy November 1st! Time to make an Advent Calendar in time for December 1st! I opted not to do any stamping, and just used the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits to make mine, but of course you can decorate and embellish yours whichever way you want. I hope mine inspires you to make your own and I’d love to see yours if you’d like to share on my Stamp With Elaine Facebook page.
Here are the 5 different ways I embellished mine. You’ll find some notes and the die cuts you’ll need for decorating the 24 stockings below, as promised on my video.
Notes: * Pattern #1 – Old Olive and black checkerboard ** Pattern #2 – Black and White Snowflake *** Pattern #3 – Black and white checkerboard **** Pattern #4 (Reverse of Pattern #1) – Black background with snowflake *****Trimmings: Top, heel and toe

Did you know that if you click on the pictures, it will take you direct to the item in my online store which will give you more detail on the product and you can place an order if you wish. It would be very much appreciated.
These are great! What adhesive did you use? I find curves surfaces abd foil troublesome.
I used Fast Fuse on the trims, glue dots for the smaller elements and on the tabs on the pillow box, I used tear and tape.
