Here’s what the kit contained:

My alternative idea is super simple, mostly because I like the idea of having this little stockings as mini gifts to give to the ‘grown up’ friends and family this Christmas.

Alternative-ish
The directions suggested turning the sock so that the stitching was on the inside, I simple did not do that.  This made the sock flatter and allowed me to stamp the snowflakes easily.  This simple alternative-ish idea also gave me more room inside so I could include a gift card, small gift item (jewelry for her, rolled necktie for him) as well as some fun candy treats!  I admit, this isn’t an over the top alternative idea.  But the kit is adorable as is.  This time I thought I would keep it simple – it’s a busy time of year for all of us.  Simple is a good thing.

GSF Blog Hop - Festive Celbrations



Festive Celebrations

This month’s Global Stampin’ Friends Blog Hop is all about sharing ideas for Festive Celebrations.  For my sample I am using the Merry Labels Bundle to create a special ‘card’ to send to my kids. 

Card Front Above
Fold Out Inside Below

To recreate this idea, you will need 9 Note Cards (7”x5” folded to 3.5” x 5”).  Trim 4 of the Note Cards ¼” off each end, so the folded card is 3.25” x 5”.  You will want a strong adhesive to adhere to cards together, I recommend Tear & Tape or Fast Fuse.  You will fit the cards inside the full cards.

After the Note Cards are connected you can begin to decorate.  I kept it simple by attaching Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper Stack 3.75” x 4.75 pieces.  From there the design is up to you.  You can see what I used in the product list below.  I recommend the Large Letter Framelits for your word.

Fancy doesn’t always have to be a lot of work.  Here are some individual photos so you can see how simple this project can be.
