Hang Your Stocking Hobby Horse

I love when a stamp set or framelit can be used in a way that isn’t what you expect.  I received this swap card which used the Christmas Stocking framelit and it’s not used to make a stocking.

Isn’t this adorable?  She turned the stocking upside down and made it a hobby horse.  Do you remember “riding” this all over the house as a kid?  We played for hours with one of these.
She made the door open up like a barn door and stamped the greeting inside.

Country Livin’ Happy Birthday

I just came across this card from a swap I participated in a while back — I don’t think I shared it before (if I did — it is that good to share again).  I love this card, it is simple but pops so well.  This card makes me think of my friend Rorie.  The stamp is Country Livin’ — one I thought I would never own but I love it.  It also features the Hardwood background stamp.

I think this card was created by Cathy — she did a great job water coloring — such great highlights on the boots.  I need to pull this stamp set out and make some more of these.

The Copper Foil Sheet is inside the fireplace which is cut from Basic Gray cardstock using the Hearth & Home framelit.  The fireplace brick is the Halloween Night designer paper — I love when designer papers can be used for more than one holiday.  See Santa's Hat coming down the chimney.
