The Stockings are Hung...

Hi y'all!  Today in the 2013 Chirstmas Countdown, 

I'm featuring a cute card I made last year at one of the

Christmas Card Stamp Camps I held.  

It's one of my favorites as it features stockings. 

Stockings in our family bring such a joy each Christmas...each person 

is filled with excitement of giving and receiving as they 

place secret gifts into each other's stockings.

I think the textures created with the 

various embossing folders make the card...and about 

two years ago I really began to utilize the 

glimmer papers in various shades 

to make my designs "pop"!

Here you see the glimmer paper in silver 

at the top, heel and toe of the stocking.

The card foundation is in Cherry Cobbler

and match the seam binding ribbon behind the 

stamped and punched sentiment.  

Share what your favorite Christmas decor is in the 

comments below to be entered into my October Drawing.

Thanks for stopping by my blog this Wednesday 

and stay tuned for more creative ideas from my 

2013 Christmas Countdown.

Enjoy!

Merry Christmas

I hope you all are enjoying the Christmas Countdown for 2013.  

We have only 78 more days until Christmas and I am 

so excited to share a variety of creative ideas with you.

This card is simple and quick to create.

The layer was partially embossed with the 

Stripes Textured Impressions Folder from Stampin' Up! 

with a ribbon tied at the stopping point.

The Merry Christmas image was then stamped in Old Olive 

to match the ribbon and a stocking punched from the DSP 

and topped with Silver Glimmer paper.

The layer was added to the Whisper White card foundation 

with dimensionals...and a sweet and simple card was born!

Perhaps your hand penned message for the inside could be:

"May your Christmas be Merry and filled with His Joy!"

Stay tuned for more 2013 Christmas Countdown to come...

Enjoy your day!
