Today I want to highlight the Sweet Stockings Suite from the July-December 2021 Mini catalog. The suite includes the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set and coordinating Stockings Dies, plus the playful Sweet Stockings 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper, and Matte Decorative Dots. The cards I'm showing you today were all swaps I received from other Demonstrators, and I couldn't have been more impressed by the wonderful work by these individuals. And don't forget, until 30 September, for each $50 or $100 order you place (less tax and shipping), you'll earn FREE Sale-A-Bration selections.

This first card was created by Tammy DeWitt She used Pool Party Cardstock with the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper, and stamped two of the sentiments from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set in Old Olive Ink at the top and bottom of the card. The little pup was colored with Crumb Cate with a Cherry Cobbler hat. the stocking stripes are Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive. She added three Matt Decorative Dots to complete this sweet card.

This next card (below) is from Ann Quattrin. She used a Thick Basic White basecard, and added layers of Cherry Cobbler and Bumblebee. She added accents of different prints from the Sweet Stockings12 X 12 Designer Series Paper. Then she colored her pup with a Soft Suede Blends Marker, and added a Cherry Cobbler Hat. The stocking is striped with Cherry Cobbler. For accents, she added stars die cut from the Brushed Metallic 12 X 2 Cardstock and added a Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2" Ribbon to the top. The sentiment is stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento, and the sentiment is from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set.

This third card (below), created by Mary Hoover, used a completely different set of element from the Sweet Little Stockings Stamp Set. She used three gift packaging images as the focal point for her card. Her basecard is Cherry Cobbler, and then she used two different prints from the Sweet stockings 12" X 12" Designer Series Paper to create her image layer. She stamped the packages in Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive and mounted them on Old Olive shapes. The Christmas Greetings sentiment is stamped in Old Olive on Basic White, and matted with a rectangle of Old Olive. To add bling to the card, she included a piece of Cherry Cobbler and Gold Old Olive 1/2 Ribbon. Another great idea for using the Sweet Stockings Suite.

To extend the possibilities of this set, you'll have fun cutting images from the Designer series Paper to create even more possible scenes for your cards, like I did for this card I posted previously.
