It is hot and muggy outside, but my card today is cool. I am continuing to try to get these Christmas cards done early. One day, I will actually count how many I have to know if I am making good progress or not!
I paper pieced my stockings with scraps of patterned paper. I colored the ribbon and holly leaves with pencils. All that was left was to stamp the sentiment and add it all to the embossed background. I used a sketch so the design came together quickly!
Supplies: Kaisercraft Stocking Mini Stamp, Tim Holtz Holiday Magic stamp set, Versafine Onyx Black ink, Darcie Snowflake embossing folder, papers are scraps from my stash.
I would love to play along with these challenges. Thanks for helping inspire us to create!

Lovely pattern and texture and it's nice to make Christmas cards in hot weather to cool you down.
Heidi, this is a darling card. I love those cute paper pieced stockings with their holly and ribbon hangers.
I just love those paper pieced stockings and how you put this card together! The embossed background is perfect and I really like that sentiment panel too! Thanks for playing along with our Tuesday Morning Sketch challenge and good luck! Stay cool - it's too hot to do much of anything outside!
Hi Heidi, I love the tiny stocking stamp and they look fabulous paper pieced and coloured, I hope you are all keeping cool. Have a wonderful week... Megan
Nice with the embossing and love your take on the sketch.xx
Such a lovely Christmas card. I love the paper piecing. You have made me think of a similar stamp that I own that would look good paper pieced as well...perhaps you shall inspire me!
