Dec 21, 2011 | Big Shot, cards, Christmas
I love the Big Shot Stocking Die that Stampin' Up! carries – so perfect for this time of year! This is a card made with that die. I cut out two Cherry Cobbler stockings (at the same time), then embossed the Whisper White cardstock using the Petals-A-Plenty Embossing Folder. I then cut out the toe and heel with the die and the cuff as well. For the cuff, I folded the cardstock in half, then made sure that the fold was inside the cutting area for the cuff, so it didn't get cut off. With the fold intact, it holds this card together! One hint if you're going to re-create this card – if you fold the embossed cardstock with the good (puffy) side in before die cutting, it won't "crack" along the fold line as it may if you fold the other way. Ask me how I figured this one out…LOL.
Hope these last few days of preparation for Christmas aren't too crazy for you! Today's the last mailing for the 12 Weeks of Christmas for those on my email list so see you in your inbox a little later today.

I’m working behind the scenes getting the Inbox Inspiration Program ready to launch in the new year. My Inbox Inspiration program will be a paid subscription format, and subscribers will receive weekly emails featuring a project, with complete instructions, and may also include tutorials. It’s similar to the Twelve Weeks of Christmas program, but it’s going to be offered year round! If you’d like to be informed of the launch of the program, please add your name to the information mailing list. This is NOT the program itself, just a personal notification of the program launch. Your email address will not be shared. Please contact me if you have any questions!

Seems like there's technical issues with Stampin' Up!'s Demonstrator Business Websites (that's the fancy term for the site where you can online shop with me!). Just to let you know that you can still access online shopping through this link HERE in the meantime. Don't forget that you can also purchase Canadian gift certificates for merchandise or class fees by contacting me directly. In the new year, I will be offering the Inbox Inspiration program – weekly mailings of crafty projects, and also online classes, and will be revealing details over the next while.
In the meantime….back to my Christmas cards!! (yes, I'm still making them…hopefully they'll get mailed before 2012).
