The stockings were hung

When I was struggling with crafting a couple of months ago,
a few people suggested that making Christmas cards might help.
Well, they were right. Thank you   :-)
Even though my cards are much more CAS, I really feel as though I'm getting somewhere now.

Here's my latest card for the pile.


I'll definitely make this design again, it's quick to do and great for using up those snippets of Christmas paper.
I used a little, Christmas stocking die and cut the shape 3 times.
The dp was lined up with the die cuts and stuck onto the card base.
Then, I attach my die-cut card with foam pads - I really like the depth and shadow that this gives you.

All that's left, is to add a simple sentiment strip and a little gem heart.


Challenges.
Pixie's Snippet's Playground - Use snippets
Winter Wonderland - Anything Goes (2nd entry)

Supplies.
WPlus9 Heartfelt Holidays Stamps and Dies
DP - Dovecraft - Christmas Fancy

So pleased you seems back on track - I bet the Addicted to CAS win was a lovely, and really well deserved boost! Oh I do get excited when playmates win challenges based on their wonderful abilities.
