A Holly Jolly Christmas Book Cover

We have a super fun project to share today from Deb Felts. Recycling thin chipboard packaging, she created a binding for Christmas book pages she plans to make throughout the month. What she is making and how she will attach them is currently a mystery, so we'll have to keep watching throughout the month to see what she creates. Will they be scrapbook type pages, junk journal type pages, or will it be a binder for cards? Your guess is as good as mine, and I truly am so curious to see what she does!

Today is the LAST DAY you can grab our Christmas Stockings & Mittens at 20% OFF! A NEW Product of the Week surfaces each Sunday, so if these stockings and mittens speak to you, grab them while on sale! Sale details are at the end of this post.

This was made exactly like a card except with a thicker spine rather than merely a fold.

This beautiful design would be perfect for a card, too!

Christmas Stockings & Mittens (mittens, sentiment, snowflakes)

Snowflake Blessings Border Strip (snowflakes on spine)

Holiday Greens Mini (die for greenery)

A Wonderful Christmas (designer papers throughout)

Lovely detail!

This is the book cover opened and laid flat.

The chipboard was cut 4.5" high x 8.5" wide, then scored at 3.5" in from each end, leaving you with a 1.5" spine. The folded book cover is 4.5" high and 3.5" wide.

Gosh, loving all that plaid!

And this is the inside of the book cover opened up and laid flat.

The plaid as well as all the other prints used and fun cutouts are all in the same paper pad:

Now, we have to wait to see how Deb fills this fun book cover!

Deck the Halls with Christmas Stockings

Good morning to all. This week we focus on stockings and mittens in prep for the coming Christmas and winter seasons. And nothing is more fun than decorating with stockings and even mittens!  We are loving this set and know you will, too! Esther Asbury is sharing a very easy and quick to make card today in a wonderfully homespun, country style.

The set Esther used is our current Product of the Week - Christmas Stockings and Mittens - at 20% OFF through Saturday. Be sure to check it out at the end of this post.

Loving that old-fashioned country homespun feel!

Adding to that feel are the stockings die cut from felt, buttons with string and heavily distressed edges.

Card Samples

I'll start with this project as it truly got me at hello! I love matchy-matchy things so when I saw this it instantly spoke to me.

Deb is knitting a pair of socks and she created this card to gift with the socks. Now, I know most of us are not knitting our own socks, but think of purchasing a pair of fun socks or mittens and creating a personalized card by making the card match the socks or mitts - super fun!

To create her matching stocking, Deb first die cut the stocking from white paper and then used a ruler and Copic markers to recreate the pattern on the stockings! So much fun!!!

Additional products used are:

Fishtail Sentiment Banners (to cut sentiment)

1" Grosgrain w/Satin Edge
