Festive Jolly Stockings

Hello, Gemma here today with a card using one of my favourites from the October release – the Build a Stocking die set.

I love that there are so many different looks that can be created with the Build a Stocking die set. Change the colours, add some sparkle, switch the stocking toppers….so many possibilities! I decided on a colour palette of pink and navy, with gold sparkle accents.

There are backing layer dies for each of the size stockings, then decorative layers to add over the top. As it’s difficult to adhere anything on top of glitter card, for the spotty stocking I cut it from both navy and gold glitter card, so I could inlay the gold glitter spots. You could skip this step if layering over something non-glitter.

To add glitter stripes to the light pink stocking, I first adhered some double sided tape to the stocking, then covered with gold glitter.

On a 5.25” square card base, I adhered a piece of ivory speckled card, slightly smaller than the card base to give a border. On this, I stamped a sentiment from the new Holiday Stockings stamp set, using a brown ink. Next, I added some white glitter foliage, cut using the previously released Pine Sprigs die set.

Finally, I added the three stockings using some foam tape for dimension.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.
