a hand-made CHRISTMAS STOCKING {susan k. weckesser inc.}

hello crafty friends!

it's time for the 5th annual CHRISTMAS LOVE CAMPAIGN with SUSAN K WECKESSER INC.


this is such a special cause and i hope you will participate with us this year!

to jump-start everyone with some inspiration, we, the designers at SUSAN K WECKESSER INC are celebrating a HANDMADE CHRISTMAS from november 2-16, and sharing projects handmade in honor of this campaign. we were provided a great selection of products to work with by some amazingly generous sponsors. a HUGE THANK YOU to our sponsors!

 here are the wonderful sponsors for the 2013 SUSAN K. WECKESSER INC. handmade christmas:












for my base i used CANVAS CORP raw canvas stockings. i decided to add the star pattern using TATTERED ANGELS "ferrari red" glimmer mist chalkboard and PRIMA marketing "stars" masking template.


i decorated the edge of the stocking with a decorative stitch made with a golden threat.

after the glimmer mist was dry, i sewed two stripes of MAY ARTS RIBBON to the top part of my stocking. the large golden one i folded in a pattern to give a more festive look to my project.


then, i tied a bow, where i wanted my tags to hang, using two different types of MAY ARTS RIBBON.


for my tags i used the special CHRISTMAS CAMPAIGN SNOWMAN stamp from SUSAN K. WECKESSER INC. 

each purchase of this stamp will donate $3 toward the CHRISTMAS LOVE CAMPAIGN. here is a direct link so you can buy your one of a kind winter at unity stamp co.


i decided to color the snowman with different embossing powders from SPARKLE N SPRINKLE. i used the following embossing powders: gold detail [EP168], golden sparkle [EP106] and firecracker red [EP291]. then i adhered it with mounting double sided tape to the tag base.


to create my tags i used 7GYPSIES santa's journey gift tags. i fussy cut some of the images and adhered them to the base tags with a 3d tape.

here are some more close ups from the finished project:
