I pulled out one of my pre-made Prima Fairy Flora card bases thinking I could probably make it work for Christmas. Remember a while back I finished off that paper pad by designing 11 card bases. Well, it sure helped. I colored and cut the stocking, stamped the sentiment, hung the stocking with a little glue and a pink rhinestone and it was done!
The stamp set is Power Poppy's Poinsettia from 2014. Still pretty!
Inside I cut a strip from one of the scraps I saved just for this purpose.
Total Christmas cards so far this year: 18
Thank you, CAS Christmas team! Wishing everyone a happy weekend!

What a nice surprise to see another beautiful creation from you first thing this morning. I love it - CAS! Your precut papers worked perfecting, and your stocking is lovely, also love how you added a strip of the paper inside to finish this off. This is one of my favourite Christmas sets from PP. Yikes, I only have 1 Christmas card made, I need to get on this soon. Thanks for inspiring me today. Heading out birding soon, but I have 4 masculine b-day cards needed by first week of June for our family 'guy' June birthday get-together, along with Father's Day! Wishing you a wonderful day & weekend- enjoy your outdoor time :)!
