Christmas in July Day 10

 Hi there friends! I hope your Friday has gone great. Although the calendar and clock says it is Saturday, I'm still on Friday. Today's Christmas in July card is a stocking shaped gift card holder x 2. 

My supply list is below.

Instruction:

1. Use paper big enough to cut the 2 stocking out. I used 2 pieces of scrap paper. Don't cut them yet though.
   
   
   
2. I put my two pieces side-by-side on my surface.
3. Stencil each layer of the set. You most likely will need to use the stencil whole and a little more to get enough space.
   
   
   
4.  Cut the stocking out of the stenciled paper twice.
   
   
   
5. Cut two more white stocking pieces for the back.
6. Using a gift card as a guide -- lay the gift card so it sticks out the top a little. Draw a border with a thin line of glue around the card. Lay the white stocking down. Do this for both stockings. Let dry. 
   
   
   
7. Decorate the front of the stockings. I did the top cuffs in white paper. I cut a heel and toe for one stocking but let the stencil design be the whole stocking on the other. The heel and toe dies are just the curve. I cut those out and a little extra. Glue to stocking and trimmed the excess paper. For the holly berries, I used red sequins instead of cutting berries. 
   
   
   
8. You can add a sentiment or a name to the cuff. I will do that when I know who is getting them. 

I hope you really love this project.

Day 23: 31 Days of Hallowween Cards

 Hi there friends! 

Today I am working this cute die set from Simon Says Stamp. 

 I chose a patterned paper for a background and cut the die out 3 times slightly tilted each time. I then cut the hat dies out 3 ties in different colors. The background is black, just like the cats, but with some silver paint splattered.
