Holiday Mini Sneak Peek!

Pin It Now! Now that the kiddos are back in school I feel like the holidays are right around the corner. I suppose the fact that I have all my pre-order goodies from the new Holiday Mini already kind of helped me get in the mood too :) I want everything in this new mini! There are TONS of amazing stamps, designer series paper, embellishments, etc. that you're just going to love. For my first Holiday Mini Sneak Peek I'm going to share with you the card we'll be doing at a HUGE stamping event a demo friend of mine is hosting in October. It's a CASE (copy & share everything) of the card shown in the mini. Are you ready?

 
How fantastic is this!? This new stamp set called "Stitched Stockings" coordinates with a new builder punch (Stocking Builder Punch). Two of the stockings were stamped using Lucky Limeade  & the other was stamped using Cherry Cobbler. I punched each of these out with the new punch. I then inked up the cuff, heel, & toe stamp & stamped it in Cherry Cobbler twice & the third time I inked it with Lucky Limeade. I used the new punch again to punch out these pieces & then used Snail to adhere them to the stockings. I stamped the sentiment from another new stamp set, "Hand-Penned Holidays", at the bottom of the Whisper White card stock using Early Espresso ink. At the top of the Whisper White layer I stamped the "loop" image using Early Espresso ink. I "hung" each stocking on the loop using dimensionals. I used Snail to adhere the white layer to the Lucky Limeade card base. Can you see I used a few new embellishments? Aren't those tiny jingle bells cute!? And they work! :) I threaded some Cherry Cobbler baker's twine through each bell & tied a bow before adhering each one to a stocking with a mini glue dot. For a finishing touch I did faux stitching around the panel using the small tip on my Cherry Cobbler marker.

I am having too much fun playing around with all the new goodies! I have more coming so be sure to check back in :) Hope you have an amazing week!
