The Stockings Were Hung by the Chimney with Care

Hi crafty friends!  I hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Does your family hang stockings?  When I was growing up, stockings were a BIG deal in my family.  My dad traveled a lot for work conferences, and he would fill our stockings with all the silly doo-dads that he brought back, generally office supplies and such, and my brother and I loved it!  As an adult, my grandmother carried on the tradition.  She did a stocking for each of the kids and grandkids and filled them with all of the things that we love! 

When I saw the Stocking 2 Clear Stamp Set, I knew that I needed to create with it.  The stockings themselves are just beautiful, and they were so much fun to color up.  As a matter of fact, I couldn't stop at just one card, so I am sharing this beautiful pair of cards today.

I colored the stockings with Copic markers and I embellished them with a gold get pen and a white Postca Paint pen.  Once they were dry, I cut them out and set them aside.  I heat embossed the sentiments and trimmed the panels down before backing them with glitter cardstock.  I dry embossed white cardstock panels, and backed them with the same glitter cardstock and adhered them to my card bases.  I added the sentiment panels, stockings, and added some loopy bows.  To complete the cards, I added some bling. 



These cards bring up so many happy memories.  I would love to hear what your favorite holiday tradition is!  Please be sure to leave us a comment and share!  Don't forget to stop by the shop and check out the Stocking 1 and Stocking 2 Clear Stamp Sets! 
Thanks so much for spending a few minutes of your day with me! 
Xoxo, Kim
