#8 ‘Tis the Season for More Stockings

Xmas3

All Stampin’ Up!: Stitched Stockings and It’s a Wrap Holidays stamp sets
Very Vanilla and Poppy Parade cardstock; Scallop Border Punch
Island Indigo, Poppy Parade, and Lucky Limeade inks;
Lucky Limeade and Island Indigo Ruffled ribbons; 5/16” Chocolate Chip brads

This color combination is one of my favorites this Christmas. It’s so joyful and evokes memories of all those Christmas-y things…holly berries, candy canes, frosty nights, and margaritas. Well, I had to think of something for the green. I like this shade’s edginess. Yes, that’s a thing.

The Very Merry stamp is from the It’s a Wrap Holidays set. It’s really designed to be a wrapper for Hershey’s Nuggets, and it’s very cute that way. Put several of them in a little cellophane bag, top it with a tag and ribbons and you have a nifty neighbor or teacher gift. But I wanted to show it’s versatility. The stockings coordinate with the Stocking Builder Punch, but I thought they looked fine just stamped, as well. Each panel is popped out with dimensionals, for a little interest.

Now go have a margarita and get in the holiday spirit!
