Back In Plaid Holiday Stockings - DIY


I just LOVE the way these stockings came out!! Above is one of the place settings from our Christmas dinner.  From time to time Stampin' Up! offers past Paper Pumpkin kits at a discount.  When I recently saw this kit (Back in Plaid - November 2017)  I just had to get it.


This is what your finished kit would look like if you don't emboss the stockings.
I love how these came out!


Everything you need is in your kit.


I decided to "kick it up a notch" and add texture to the stockings by applying starch and
running them through the Big Shot with the Cable Knit embossing folder (page 222 of the annual catalog).

After embossing the stockings I turned down the top cuff.

To You & Yours Card Step By Step Tutorial & Video


A few weeks ago we were on a cruise with our family and of course I had to bring my November 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit "To You & Yours" to finish my Christmas cards whenever I had a moment.  It is so easy to travel with and everything you need is in the box!

Below are some photos I took while assembling these beautiful cards.  There's also a video at the bottom of the page.

Everything you need is in your kit.


Adhere the woodgrain stickers to the card panels.


Adhere the pine die cuts and vellum pieces to the card base.


Wrap the ribbon around the card panels and tie a bow.

Tip When Using Thinlits Dies

I am in the middle of creating 60+ cards for our team card swap at the Stampin' Up! Convention coming up soon.  Members of our team will be meeting to swap cards that we have made.  I used my Tropical Thinlits Dies so many times that the card stock was beginning to stick to the dies. If this ever happens to you, here's a tip:
Although our Thinlits Dies come designed with tiny holes through which to poke a die pick, helping to release the shapes, sometimes the card stock become difficult to remove from the dies. In order to free the dies after cutting, place a piece of wax paper or a dryer sheet between the die and the card stock before cutting. You'll be amazed how quickly and easily the card stock will release from the die.
