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 :)!
Just beautiful! Such a sweet image and awesome layout---I love things in threes!
Wow, Leslie! It's gorgeous! Love the stocking and your card base is perfect for it! Awesome design!
Look at you! 18 and it’s only May! Such a cute design and I love the colours...I loved that pad of paper too.
Your pretty poinsettia coloring caught my eye right off the bat! 18 cards already! You will definitely be happy when December rolls around! :D
What a great CAS design and I love the stocking design and the paper you chose for it.
Eighteen cards already! That's fantastic, Leslie! It's beautifully colored, of course, and so sweet with the snowflake magic happening in the panel trio behind - love CAS! hugs, de

I wouldn't have thought to use those colors on a Christmas stocking but it is GORGEOUS! Love your design too ... very inspirational! Well done!
Simply gorgeous! What great colors. Fun that you already had that card base done.
I would say your premade background was just perfect for this Christmas card, your coloring of the stocking worked perfectly with it, and like how you added it to the inside too! Beautiful!
What a great idea making all those card bases. I love the stocking in those colors. WOW - #18!! Good for you!! Have a great weekend!
I am such a fan of pink and vintage for Christmas, and this card has both. Such gorgeous patterns and the stocking with the sweet flowers is so pretty. You are on such a roll with your cards, all of them, but especially for Christmas. Good for you!
It sure is pretty, Leslie! Great idea to get card bases ready ahead of time! This beautiful pink stocking looks perfect with this paper! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Christmas!
Your stocking is SO pretty..love the 3 panels...what a great design!I love the non traditional colors too, beautiful!
I'm beginning to wonder why I'm not thinking Christmas cards, too? I could certainly stand to make some now. Your stocking is so dimensional...it looks almost 3-dimensional! Beautiful colors...and the panels really work.
Leslie, I love that little stocking with the poinsettia Leslie. Beautiful card, thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas
Fabulous card, Leslie! Love the feminine non-traditional colours with beautiful colouring. Great use of pattern paper and a very cool design. Thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas. x
LOVE that patterned paper along with your stocking in matching colours. What a great way to use up your last bit of that pad of paper, Leslie. I love the non-traditional colours. Awesome Christmas card! Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Christmas! xx
I absolutely love this card, Leslie, and I hope I remember to case it! Beautiful colors, paper and stamps! And the coloring, too, of course!!
Super clean feeling, great idea with smaller piece of designer paper. Stocking look great! And yet you are ahead of me on Christmas cards still. GASP!!! :-)
