This is a fun a Christmas card idea that is “stuffed” full of cutesy animals and holiday joy!
This card mixes stencils, die cuts, and pre-colored animals from our “Winter Animal” paper pad, to create a festive card that’s sure to impress. Follow along with Lisa as she shows us how she created this Merry and Bright stocking stuffed with winter animals.
- Cut a rectangle panel from white cardstock.
- Used the layered Holly and Berries stencil to create a fun background with blending brushes and Color Fuse Inks. When you do the holly leave veins layer, you’re also adding the dots for the berries. I didn’t worry about coloring over that part with the green since I knew I’d be coloring the dots with a dark color. It was great to have the detail brushes for that part!
- Adhered the stenciled panel to red cardstock cut to 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and then adhered that to a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ piece of white cardstock.
- I cut the fuzzy stocking pieces from Plush Papers. I wanted a design on my stocking, so I cut a chunk of the green Plush Paper using the Lattice die in a chunk large enough to cut out the stocking shape and added it to the red stocking with glue.
- Cut the bow from gold foiled toner paper and added to the stocking.
- Popped the stocking onto the stenciled panel.
- Pulled out the Winter Animals pad of paper and die cut some of the images with the coordinating dies.
- Added the images so some were coming out of the stocking top and a couple near the bottom too using foam tape.
- Stamped the sentiment from the new Deer Friend stamp set and die cut it out using one of the Nested Tag dies.
- Cut the same shaped tag but one larger from green and adhered the stamped tag to the front of the green tag and added that to the card front.
- Die cut the holly shapes from the Stocking die and added them to the sentiment piece.
- Finally a few sequins.
