The Stockings Were Hung by the Chimney

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


These fun stockings are from a NBUS stamp and die set from Hot Off the Press.

I inked them up with Distress inks and markers and actually fussy cut them.
It was quicker to cut than to fiddle with the die to get it lined up well.

The mantel garland was stamped with the new Rustic Wilderness Distress ink.
I love this color!

Challenges:
Christmas Kickstart #43 - Twas the Night Before Christmas
NBUS #21- Never Before Used Schtuff


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

    Cute, cute, CUTE Bonnie!! LOVE the look of those stockings and how looong they are! I hear you too about it sometimes being easier to fussy cut than line up with a die! Love your little fireplace mantle too and the new green color...have it but haven't even opened it yet! One of these days!! Have a wonderful weekend my friend!! Hugs. :0)

    You find the cutest things for Christmas cards...this is adorable. The
    brick EF and all the touches just make this card say "happy". Good to see the new Rustic Wilderness color "in person"...have resisted getting it so far but now may have to re-think that. Have a good weekend!

    Those are some big stockings to fill! I love the fun strips and holly trims. The brick gives the look of a fireplace and the new green is so pretty.

    Too fun, Bonnie, this is just adorable and so fitting on the brick e/f! As for the fussy cut, I'm guessing it was an "older" style solid die... whoever came up with the open "frame" dies needs a medal of valor from us crafters!!!

    Those stockings are awedome! IN fact we were looking for a stocking die just the other day. Love the embossed brick in the background- just perfect. Great card, Bonnie!

    Such a happy color scheme for these socks. Bright and vivid colors are a great contrast to the white background. I love this card, Bonnie.
