This week it was Ann's turn for a workshop during Scrapmania. Scrapmania takes place every other month and the girls usually invite me to demo a workshop during that time period. I also started the girls on a Shoebox Swap last time and they had a great turnout for their event.

For Ann's workshop, I demo'd the Stocking Builder Punch and the coordinating Stitched Stockings Stamp Set. I wanted to show the girls how versatile both of these items are. Not just for Christmas! Here is the first card I demo'd:

Turn the stocking upside-down and you have a reindeer! Remember last week when I made a rocking horse with the punch? Well, this is kinda the same idea. Add a red nose for Rudolph and some antlers made with the Snowflake Punch! I also added reins using the Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine:

Card #2:

I had a hard time capturing the Pink Pirouette that I used on this card but for this card I turned the stocking into baby booties! Stamp the stocking images, cut them out with the Stocking Builder Punch, snip off the cuff and set aside, trim off a little bit off the stocking to make it shorter and re-attach the cuff:

Aren't the booties adorable? I also used the Designer Frames Textured Impressions Folder and used my Square Punch to knock out the middle part. Makes a nice frame for my booties doesn't it?

Cardstock: Pink Pirouette, Whisper White
Stamp Sets: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Stitched Stockings
Inks: Pretty In Pink, Pink Pirouette
Tools: Word Window Punch, Designer Frames Textured Impressions Folder, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Folder, Stocking Builder Punch, Square Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Corner Rounder Punch

Make & Take Project:

This is the card everyone created to take home with them. The background layer is cut at 5.5" x 6.5" and scored in the middle at 3.25" for a shorter fold. When you glue the second panel, I make sure it is the exact size of a regular card once glued to the first layer so that it will fit in a card envelope. As you can see in the photo, I measured down 2 1/2 scallops and glued the 2nd panel in place after both layers were created to my liking:

Card Supplies:

Cardstock: Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Basic Gray
DSP: Neutrals Paper Pack
Stamp Sets: Four the Holidays, Stitched Stockings
Inks: Basic Gray, Tempting Turquoise
Tools: Scallop Squares Duo Die, Lace Ribbon Punch, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Folder, Stocking Builder Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals
