It's time for another fun challenge here at Christmas Kickstart! It's less than six months to Christmas, people!
I'm delighted to be joined this month by the very talented Cindy C from Escape to Stamping. If you're not familiar with Cindy's work please head on over to her blog and take a look as her style is so pretty and feminine.
Our theme for this month is:
Challenge #51 - The Christmas Stockings
were hung by the Chimney with Care
Yes, it's all about Christmas Stockings - the chimney or fireplace is purely optional!
I kept things really simple for my first card with a piece of Tim Holtz Christmas paper plus some die cuts and a teeny stocking stamp from a magazine freebie.
To be honest I'm just not sure about card #2.
I used a Sue Wilson die called Stocking Gift Card Holder but was really disappointed that the bell detail at the end of the stocking didn't cut. I rescued things with some snowflakes and stars, but it's just not doing it for me.
Rudolph has been shopping again and has a gorgeous festive stamp set as the prize for his Random Raffle.
Cindy and I really hope you'll feel inspired by this them and look forward to seeing your festive creations in the gallery!

I am sure it's more than 6 months to xmas!! I hope so anyway, my cucumbers are only just germinating bwahahahaahaa. I actually like the second card very much. Fab colours and very blingy. Hugz
Jo, I have had dies that didn't cut well, too - so frustrating! But you conquered the issue, beautifully! and I adore that teensy stocking, and every other thing about your first card!

Two cute cards Jo. I hard it when dies don't cut properly. You made it look beautiful.
Sweet stocking cards, Jo - looks like a fun challenge!!
Fab Christmas cards Jo, it's so annoying when dies don't cooperate, especially when they're not cheap to buy! I really need to get started, I don't think I've a single Xmas card made this year.
Wonderful twofers, Jo. The first is adorable and CAS-tacular. In contrast, your second is big and screams STOCKING… didn’t even miss the bell detail, so great save!
