Christmas in July is in full swing in my craft room! I’ve been busy playing with Stampin’ Up!’s new Stitched Stocking Bundle. It pairs classic Christmas sentiments with quilting-inspired designs like holly and pine trees for a warm, nostalgic look in card making and scrapbooking. It’s now available as an Online Exclusive. This newest Online Exclusive release is robust, offering paper crafting products for Halloween, fall, Christmas, and more. Click here to see the online store. Click here to view the PDF.
The fun part about this card is the little tag that peeks out from the top of the stocking. Here’s another look at it:
Measurements and Details
Real Red cardstock base measuring 8 1/2 x 5 1/2, scored and folded at 4 1/4
Regals Painted Patterns 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (Old Olive) measuring 5 1/4 x 4
Stocking die cut with Real Red card stock and embossed with the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder. Note: When you attach the stocking to the card front, don’t put adhesive at the top of the stocking. You want to make sure you have room for your tag.
Stocking cuff die cut with Shimmering Stripes 12 x 12 Specialty Paper
Holly and berries die cut with Old Olive and Real Red card stock
Sentiment stamped in Real Red and die cut with coordinating label
Real Red & White Baker’s Twine

Stay tuned the rest of the month as I share more cards for Christmas in July. I hope this inspires you to start your holiday crafting with whatever products you have in your stash!
Please let me know if you have questions. I’m happy to help you in your paper crafting journey.
