Special Delivery from the North Pole

Today’s card comes straight from the North Pole.  You could write a letter from Santa inside — how fun would that be.  It is a pretty quick card to make — cut out some ovals with the Layering Ovals Framelits, stamp the message, add some Merry Little Christmas designer paper and finish up with some Silver Metallic Thread loops.

Christmas Stockings Are Hung

Is everyone in your house getting ready to hang the Christmas Stockings?  My husband’s family didn’t hang stockings until Christmas Eve so that has been our tradition as our kids grew up.  I have a fun stocking for you and you can even hang it on your Christmas tree with a little gift or gift card in it.

I used the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits to turn the stocking into a pillow box.  The cuff, heal and toe are cut from Quilted Christmas designer paper for a little pop of color.

After making the stocking with the pillow box on the back, I decided to make a fancy pillow box.  It was so much fun to add little embellishments and they are just the right size for just a little treat.
