Start with an Old Olive cs card base. Dry emboss the front panel of the card base with the Macramé 3D embossing folder. Cut a Cherry Cobbler cs panel & a Sweet Stockings DSP panel and glue them to the card front. Die cut an Old Olive cs stitched scalloped rectangle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies, dry emboss it with the Macramé 3D embossing folder, and then glue it to the center of the card front.
Cut a Basic White cs sentiment panel and a Cherry Cobbler cs sentiment layer panel. Stamp the sentiment from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set in Memento Black ink. Glue the stamped Basic White cs sentiment panel to the Cherry Cobbler cs sentiment layer panel and then use Stampin' Dimensionals to add them to the card front overlapping the top of the embossed Old Olive cs stitched scalloped rectangle.
Stamp the hat and puppy head from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. Color the images with Stampin' Blends. Use glue and a Mini Stampin' Dimensional to add the hat to the puppy head and the card front slightly overlapping the sentiment panels. Fussy cut out a stocking & a mouse with present from the Sweet Stockings DSP. Use Stampin' Dimensionals to add the stocking (tuck it under the puppy head) and the mouse to the card front. Use Wink of Stella to add extra sparkle to the mouse, puppy, and stocking. Add Shimmery Crystal Effects to the brim and ball puff on the hat for texture & shine (be sure to let it dry completely). Add Champagne Rhinestones to the card front.
Don't forget to add a Basic White cs inside panel to write your message. Stamp the sentiment and the hat from the Sweet Little Stockings stamp set in Memento Black ink, color the hat with Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends & the White Stampin' Chalk Marker, and add a strip of embossed Old Olive cs to the inside and back of the card to pull the theme through.
