Christmas Stocking

Here is a clean and simple Christmas card, using traditional colors and symbols. I divided my card front with score lines and then filled the spaces with designer series paper and stamps. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Hang Your Stocking

   A Cardinal Christmas

Paper:

   Basic White A-2, 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

   Quilted Christmas DSP 2-1/4 x 3/4 (2), 2 x 3/4

Ink:

   Real Red

   Garden Green

   Tuxedo Black Memento

Technique:

   Scored Lines

Accessories:

   Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies

   December 2015 Washi Tape

   Dimensionals

   Adhesive

First, I scored a few lines on the card front. I scored a 1" line on all four sides of the panel. I then scored a 1-1/4" and 1-1/2" score lines from the top and bottom of the panel.

I then stamped a Garden Green tree in all four corners of the panel, as shown above.

Next, I stamped the sentiment in the top center, using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.

I then stamped and die cut the Real Red stocking and attached it to the center of the card front, using dimensionals.

Next, I adhered some Quilted Christmas DSP rectangles on the two sides of the stocking and on the bottom center rectangle. 

Lastly, I added washi tape as shown above and adhered a Basic White panel to the inside of the card.

 I enjoy die cutting and embossing as much as stamping. I like gluing all of the pieces together to make an item whole. These stockings have to be assembled which means you can change them as much as you like! There is no stamping on this card. What are your thoughts?

First, I dry embossed my card front using the Brick Wall Embossing Folder. I sponged it with Crumb Cake to give it some dimension and a realistic appearance.

I then die cut my stockings using the Christmas Stockings Thinlits Dies. If you look closely, the stockings are dry embossed using the Cable Knit Embossing Folder. I then pieced them together using the reverse side for the heel, toe, and top.

I then die cut the NOEL for the mantle. I adhered it using some adhesive. I added a strip of burlap underneath it. I attached it using fast fuse.

I then attached the stockings using dimensionals.

I added the jingle bells and the twine using glue dots.
