Sweet Stockings Cheer.

Hello everyone: I hope and pray you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

*************************************************************

A couple of months ago I bought a pack of Stampin' Up! DSP called

"Sweet Stockings", I fell in love with these adorable doggies, kitties, and mice, with beautiful Christmas details.

Most of my card-making friends know I really don't like DSP, and that is not because the designs and images are not beautiful, the paper is DOUBLE SIDED and it's precisely, for this reason, I most times don't buy it, I just can't bring myself to put one of these sides under.  In the case of SWEET STOCKINGS, the underside of the DSP is pretty but I feel it's ok to put it under.

So, I've been fussy cutting these adorable little critters, and here's a card I made with them.  These images are from the ends of the sheet and that's why the images are not complete but they are sweet and beautiful nonetheless.

This is the inside.

******************************************************

This is what I used.

The little critters are fussy cut from the Stampin' Up! 

SWEET STOCKINGS DSP

The Christmas Tree is from Memory Box.

The Christmas ornament and sentiment are from Penny Black

The flower on the wall is from a retired SU die set called

"Succulent Framelits"

The border on the inside is from Power Poppy 

GLITTER HOUSE VILLAGE

The sentiment is from an old Flourishes set called

"Sweets of the Season"
