Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge 459 – include a stocking

This week at Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge we are looking for stocking. I think of tockings and automatically think of the stocking were hung by the fire with care…. I used my Cricut and a lovely Fireplace 3D box card by My Scrap Chick. I cut it out using various cardstock from my stash and embossed the fireplace with a brick-patterned embossing folder.

Join us each week for a new inspiring challenge!

Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge 458 – sentiment as the focal point

This week the Crafty Hazelnut’s Christmas Challenge Design Team challenges you to make a card with the sentiment as the focal point. I used a number of different elements to this card. I started with a debossed background. Next, I used smooshed technique and die cut a frame. I used a Joy sentiment with a nativity design as the “O”. The final detail was adding a ribbon to bring the overall design together

I look forward to seeing everyone’s designs.
