Trio of Christmas Stocking Gift Card Holders - JB dt

Happy Monday my crafty friends!!

Today is my turn to share some crafty inspiration on the Jaded Blossom Blog.  

I decided to jump on the "Christmas in July" bandwagon and try

and complete a few Christmas projects ahead of the game.

Do you do this?? I always think it sounds like a great idea so thought I would give it a go.

For today's project, I have a trio set of Christmas gift card holders.

I used the Jaded Blossom "Stocking Gift Card Die" and cut three out with white cardstock.

Then I used the "Buffalo Plaid Stencil" and some red hybrid ink to create the pattern on my stockings.

I pulled out my very neglected embossing folders and used one for parts of the stocking to add some texture.  I cut the bows out using the "Bow Dies" and some gold foil paper.

Lastly I used the "Christmas Dies" and cut out the holly leaves and berries and jazzed them up a bit with a couple of different stickles colors.

Here's a closeup of one of the stockings -

 Thanks so much for stopping by today!!
