This is my first time joining the Papertrey Ink’s Monthly Blog Hop! I have wanted to for a long time, but my monthly order never gets to me in time — however, this time I decided to simply use my current items because I just couldn’t pass up the Annual Holiday Blog Hop; I guarantee that this is going to be great!
I am a huge fan of traditional Christmas colors. I always see other’s using fun and new colors for their Christmas projects, but whenever I try, I just get frustrated and never like the result. So here I am again, using my favorite traditional Christmas colors on all of my projects and I have to say… I love the result!
This year we are going super simple. Decided to fill this little stocking with candies and some fun gift cards for our nephews who are 7 and 4 (and recently discovered how ‘fun’ picking your own gifts out with a gift card is!). I used Papertrey Ink’s FREE Timeless Template: Stocking Stuffer. This template is probably the easiest template I have ever used and I was finished with this stocking in no time! I also created a mini card to match and while I was at it, I used my Slice to make some cute gift tags. (Supplies Used below) I hope you enjoy my photos and I am looking forward to all of the inspiring creations from everyone else this month too!!
Supplies Used:
Colors: CTMH Cranberry, Topiary, Cream and PTI Kraft
Stamps: PTI Polka Dot Basics, PTI Fancy Flourishes, CTMH Victorian Snowflake
Accessories: Buttons, Cream Ribbon (gift tags)
Tools: Fiskars Crimper and my Slice

These are great. Love the red and green. While I like the non-trad colour combos it’s nice to see some red and green projects too!

I love the buttons on the stocking, and the tags are so cute. I would never have thought to make tags out of the curvy label!!

Great gift tags!!! I love the crimped paper on top of the stocking as well as the yummy row of buttons! And while I like using and seeing non-traditional color combos, it’s always refreshing to see good old red and green, too!
