Stocking full of Love. 





Cut a piece of card stock in green card, 12  inches by 5 3/4 fold in half length ways and crease with a knife.  Choose scraps of paper and cut 1 1/4 inch allow  them to layer one on top of each other.  The two out side strips are the same, then their are two alternative pieces of card stock.  in a contrast colour the middle strip is in another colour.  The middle strip is 2 inches.  Using your double side tape place your pieces together, checking with your card for size.  Place ribbon on your work for the stripped effect put this on before you put your card onto your card, .

With your border maker cut two rows of scallop border one in white and one in a contrasting colour.  Stick on with double sided tape.  Stitch around the card and across the border with your sewing machine.

Cut two contrasting pieces of scrap paper 3 1/8 by 3 3/4 stick the green one on with double sided tape and stitch on machine.  Cut the other one out and stick, I did not stitch this one, just taped it down.

Cut out four bows and place on corners.  Decorate with bling.  Stamp a circle xmas stamp and cut out.  Use your creative memories Circle punches, these are great.  Decorate as I have.  Have fun..
