This month's hop features the fun and playful "Back in Plaid" kit. The stamp set includes several sentiments with a fun and whimsical font. Every box is filled with 10 muslin stockings with a buffalo checked cuff and a boat load of product supplies to create the most adorable stockings that are ready to be filled with your favorite candies, beautiful jewelry, or make it a quick and easy gift card holder. The imagination and uses are endless!
Once I saw what this month's kit included, there was no way that I could bring myself to alter those adorable stockings! Mine are going to make the best little gift holders of candy-n-cash for the loved ones on my list. Soooo, what was I to do for an altered project using the supplies in the kit? Well, there is always the stamp set and ink left over after each kits supplies are depleted, so a card it is!
The color combination for this kit is focused on Old Olive, Dapper Denim and Cherry Cobbler, so that's what I used for my card. I kinda like them together...what do you think? Is this a color combination you would try?
I decided to create a shaker card, which is what the October kit was all about. I had purchased the Winter Wonder Textured Embossing Folder a while back, but have never found the project to use it. Well, this was it...I embossed a piece of Window Sheet after it was attached to the back of the Dapper Denim panel so that the extensions of the Winter Wonder snowflake would emboss onto the cardstock. I had leftover sequins from the October kit to use, too.
What do you think? Super cute, right?!! I hope you think so...and, that you'll run and make one for yourself. That would really make my day. If you do, please share with me when you get a chance.
