Stocking Shaped Card

Today I'm sharing the 12th edition to my monthly series "Shaped Cards".  This was a fun series and I will be making more shaped cards in 2024 as well!

For this one I used the Stocking Fold-its dies from The Stamps of Life, which I have had for several years. In fact, when I bought it, Stephanie was still designing for Sizzix ... now it's available on her own website TSOL.  I used an embossing folder on the burgundy piece to give it some texture, and rainbow holographic card stock behind the bow. The sentiment is one of the Simple Strips from Taylored Expressions and there is glittery washi tape (also old) on the envelope flap.

Below you can see the sentiment stamped inside. The candy cane die was included with the Stocking Fold-Its set.

Having been asked how many cards I make I thought it would be fun to keep track this year. Many of my posts include more than a single card or project and below is my tally.

I decided to cancel the subscription that provided linked thumbnails to what products I used on my cards. It was costing me out of pocket each month, so I’m back to listing what I used.
