Bust out the deco foil and gel prints to make a holiday stocking card that really WOWS!
Our designer Lisa had a leftover stocking from creating the shaker in her earlier post this month and of course she just couldn’t just throw it away so she made another card with some of the same elements from that card and we love how this one turned out! Follow along as Lisa shows us how to recreate this holiday stocking card.
- I started by cutting the white parts of the 5721D Large Stocking With Bow Die … the stocking trim and toe and heel pieces and putting together my stocking. I like to pop up the trim just a bit with foam tape for dimension.
- Then I deco foiled a green gel print and cut the 5416-06d Holly 2 Die multiple times and then laid the berry strip over some red foiled scraps multiple times.
- Once all of the pieces were cut, I die cut a white panel with the largest die of the 5013d Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set and splattered it with red and green paint.
- Next I arranged the holly over the white panel… I laid them out before adhering them making sure I had space between them (I used a triangle pattern) and also making sure that they were turned different ways and left some hanging over the edge to be trimmed after the adhesive dried.
- The pieces cut from the edges were then used to fill in blank areas along the edges and the green “berries” were scattered over the background again to fill in blank areas.
- Then the 5829-01d Ho-Ho-Ho Script Die word was cut from white cardstock and the shadow was cut from deco foiled gel print, adhered together and popped up over the top with thin foam tape.
- Finally my assembled stocking was added to the front and the bow popped up onto it.
So festive and fun! We love love love the shimmer on her stocking and holly and think this card is beyond magical.
