Last week we had some fun designing cards to be stamped in repeat using Cute Halloween and the Stamparatus! This week I wanted to keep the fun going with the Sweet Stockings Suite.
The idea here is to be able to stamp the stocking and animals in repeat either together or separately depending on how you want your card layout.
On my Facebook Live, I asked if people preferred the line on the top of the stocking even if it went through the paws of the animals peeking out. The majority said, "without the line," so I masked off the top line of each stocking with a Post It.
If you are making multiple cards in this layout with the three stockings and three animals peeking out you can color the images yourself with Stampin' Blends or Watercolor Pencils. You can die cut stockings from the Designer Series Paper pattern that has the same exact sizing as the stamp stockings. I kow this because the stocking dies will cut both the stamped stocking and the Designer Series Paper stockings perfectly.
I chose the easier option of replacing the stamped stocking with a die cut stocking that was already colored and ready to go from the Designer Series Paper. The benefit to this is the stamped stocking image can act as a guide for where to line up your die cut stocking so it's aligned with your stamped animals. I chose to color the animals faces with Stampin' Blends and then adhere the stocking die cut. When choosing this option for the card layout, it looks like the paws are tucked into the stocking.
You can either stamp the paws onto the die cut and color them (but some of stocking colors are dark) or you could fussy cut your animal so the paws peek out over top of the stocking.
So several options for card layouts using the Stamparatus and Sweet Stockings Suite or Bundle.
