Stitched Stockings Make and Take

Last night I held a workshop for some very special customers of mine (Hi Lynda, Hi Sharron).  These ladies were my very first Hostesses and they are still very loyal customers, but more than that they are my good friends.

I wanted everyone to be able to play with the Stitched Stockings stampset and the matching Stocking Tag Punch.  Lynda was lucky enough to earn this for Free simply by hosting a qualifying workshop.

The base card is real red and we added a layer of Whisper White card stock which is embossed on the top section using the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder.   We added a strip of Garden Green card stock which has been embossed using the Stripes Embossing Folder.  We embossed another piece of Whisper White card stock using the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and wrapped it across the top with a piece of Real Red 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon.  This was then attached to a mat of Real Red card stock and attached to the card front using dimensionals.  We stamped one stocking from the Stitched Stockings stampset onto Whisper White card stock using Garden Green ink and the other stocking using Real Red ink.  We used the matching Stocking Tag punch to punch them out.  We attached them to the card front and then added a small Basic Rhinestone to the Real Red stocking.    We stamped “very merry” from the Short and Sweet stampset using Real Red ink onto Whisper White card and punched it out using the Word Window Punch and attached it to a Real Red Modern Label.  The greeting is attached to the card front using dimensionals.  Lastly we tied a bow and added it to the card front above the stockings.

Actually I forgot to take my Short and Sweet stampset with me but luckily Lynda has almost as much Stampin’ Up! stock as I do and we used one of her stampsets, so their greeting is not quite the same.  So thanks Lynda for being such a great customer and having something we could use!

The card itself has lots of bits and pieces but because we used the Big Shot and the Embossing Folders it came together very quickly.

Bye for now, Kris.
