Hi crafters, is everyone ready for Thanksgiving this week?  I’m just having a small get together with my family.

For today, I have a card using the Build a Stocking die set.  This is such a fun and versatile die set.

I started by die cutting the pieces of the stocking – red card stock for the stocking, chevron pattern paper for the body of the stocking, blue glitter card stock for the opening of the stocking, and white glitter paper for the snowflake.  After putting the stocking together, I added sequins from the Retro Christmas sequin mix to the stocking.  I added glitter on the edges by using a glue pen and loose glitter.

I used the largest Cross Stitched Rectangle die to cut out a rectangle from white card stock.  I used a snowflake stencil and mermaid lagoon distress ink to create the inked background.  I used more ink at the top of the card then gradually faded the ink toward the bottom.

I stamped Merry Christmas from the Merry Critters stamp set on the inked panel, adhered it to my card base, and attached my stocking using foam adhesive.
