Santa's 'Stocking' Suit

Just a quick post today!! And another stocking card, of course!

This one uses the stockings as arms.

I love making Santa's suit, always have! I remember as a kid,I would draw Santa and his suit constantly!

the base of this card is a 4 1/4"x 8 1/2" piece of real red card stock. Score from 2 1/8" on the left side and 2 3/8" from the right side.  The right side will actually fold under the left.  Punch out 2 stockings from the Stocking Punch. Spritz with Shimmer Paint Mixture(if you are unsure of this leave me a comment and I will get back to you with how-to) Emboss only the front flaps and stockings(making sure to put opposite,so they are embossed not debossed;)).

Next sponge the embossed suit with some cherry cobbler ink.

To make mittens: use the following punches: word window for thumb,lg oval for hand and stocking punch for cuff. Attach to your 'arm' and then pop using stampin' dimensionals to card base. cut a strip of black card stock 1/2" wide.  You can wrap all around card or just trim strips to front.  Punch the smaller hole with crop-a-dile, line up jewelry punch with edge over hole and Punch a jewelry tag from our white shimmer paper.  Buttons are from our embosslits buttons in basic black.

and HO!Ho!Ho!

 Hope you enjoyed this quick post!!!

Until Next Thought,

Ice Skates...

Thought:...One more Stocking Card

Are you getting sick of them yet?  'Cuz I do have some more ideas for this stocking ;))

So for this card I used rich razzleberry card stok as my base with a layer of whisper white then, wild wasabi card stock.  The wasabi was ran through my big shot and our new letterpress plate "Festive finishes" which is available in our holiday mini. I used versamark ink and sponged with a little platinum shimmer paint.

 I stamped 2 stockings in razzleberry ink with the snowflake stocking image in our 'Stitched Stocking' stamp set.  I punched those 2 images out with our 'stocking builder' punch. Using my mat pack I evenly placed some holes for my laces.  The laces were white bakers twine colored with razzleberry ink.I laced thru the holes and tied in a bow at the top. My origanal thought was to have them hanging from the branch but I did not make my laces long enough, so I just improvised ;)

I added a little of our dazzling details on the snowflakes for a little 'bling'!

The skate blades are actually the branch from out bird builder punch!! I punched out the branch in our silver glimmer paper. I trimmed the leaves off.  Using some of the scraps, I made the thin attachments for the blades.  I don't know-do they have a name??

Attach as shown ;))

I added a little tag with some scraps at the bottom with my modern label punch, word window punch and the sentiment from our 'Got Treats' stamp set.

Finished ;))

Anniversary Stockings

Oh My Goodness!! 

I just cannot get enough of these cute stockings!

Don't worry I will only torture you with a few more cards made with them ;))

Thought:

This is a card I made while thinking that my baby brother celebrated his 1st wedding anniversary!!  Haha I'm saying baby brother and he is really quite a bit bigger than his sissy.  While I am at 5'4", I think he stands over 6" !!  Maybe I am just short?? 

To make these cute stockings, I punched out one in night of navy card stock and one in our 
sparkly:) silver glimmer paper! I embossed the night of navy stockings with the new snowburst impressions embossing folder-LOVE this!!  I then sponged my platinum shimmer paint over my snowburst navy stockings-we can never have too much bling right? Mix and match to make a cute little set ;) I made two little bows with white bakers twine and attached a little jingle bell to 1 stocking.

Now these are just gorgeous enough as they are, so I didn't want to take away any of their sparkle ;)

I used a card base of whisper white, and using our new simply scored tool, I scored 3/4" from all edges. At the two bottom edges, I turned my card on a diagonal and made score marks every 1/8" in a diagonal triangle shape. 

In the lower right hand corner from my Tiny Tags stamp set, in night of navy ink.

Finish!!

Until Next Thought,
