STAMPIN' UP! HOLIDAY ORDERING DEADLINES...

Stampin' Up! recommends you place your holiday orders by Wednesday, December 14, 2011, by 11:50 PM MT to receive your orders before Christmas.  Delivery times will vary depending on where you live.  If your personal experience indicates that it takes longer for packages to reach you, you will want to allow a little extra time for shipping during the holidays. Call or email me (meljbuss@gmail.com) your orders until 10:00 PM (ET) or place your orders on my Online Store.

All orders received by December 14, 2011, will be picked, packaged, and delivered to our courier in plenty of time to arrive by December 24, 2011.  However, we cannot control delivery times; holiday mail volumes are high, and our delivery services encourage you to ship as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Stitched Stocking Christmas!

Christmas is just around the corner! You know what that means! Christmas card time!

I put together this cute card using the Stitched Stocking stamp set, Contempo Christmas stamp set, Lucky Limeade card stock, and our Red Glimmer Paper!

IMG_1470

I used the Simply Scored tool to emboss the lines around the outside at 1/4”. Stamped the middle stocking using Lucky Limeade ink and punched it out using the Stocking Builder punch. I also stamped the stocking pieces using Lucky Limeade ink and punched them out as well.

Punched out 2 stockings of the Red Glimmer paper, and 1 set of stocking pieces. I then used a 1” square punch for the corner pieces also in the red glimmer paper.

Stamped the Merry Christmas in Cherry Cobbler on the Whisper White. Put dimensionals on the back of the stockings and adhered them to the white card stock and glued everything else down!

Paper: Red Glimmer Paper, Lucky Limeade card stock, Whisper White card stock.

Stamps: Contempo Christmas, Stitched Stockings

Tools: Simply Scored, Stampin’ Dimensionals, 1” square punch, Stocking Builder punch, Tombow Multi-Use Glue.
