Christmas Stocking Shaped Card


Created this Stocking Shaped Christmas Card/Ornament/Gift last yr. This yr I made this one bigger in size, addded buttons, added faux stitching to it, used a different stamp and did not use felt.
1. Close to My Heart Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge 7" (former was 5 1/2") Stocking used Gypsy to weld stocking together to make shaped card
2. paper: red cardstock & core'dinations Bright White carstock
3. ribbon: American Crafts Christmas 2010 ribbon I had won some time ago - for hanging stocking on tree as ornament
4. stamp: Echo Park Holly Jolly sentiment with Memento Lady Bug ink
5. faux stitching: using a red Sharpie marker
6. buttons: Favorite Findings 10 (mix of red, white, green)
