I have set up and online shop - CRAFT MAGIC ONLINE SHOP- on my blog (top right corner). You can now purchase many crafting supplies right here. The shop is powered by Amazon, so you would be making the purchase through Amazon. I have just selected (and sorted into various categories) crafting products that Amazon sells. My blog's shop is divided into 2 parts; one offers paper crafting and scrapbooking supplies and the other one is for crafty kids and offers variety of beautiful crafty kits and products designed for children. 



Instructions:

Take white card 15cm x 30cm and fold it in half. Take a dark red card paper (size 15cm x 15cm) and using double sided tape attach it to the white card. Stamp an image of a xmas stocking on the pale mocha-cream card (9 x 9cm) and colour it in using letraset promarkers. 
Take a pale mocha-cream card (9 x 9 cm) and attach it to the white card (10 x 10 cm) using double sided tape. Attach the white-mocha-cream card to the middle of the red card using foam pads.

Attach the adhesive gems to the stocking.

If you like, attach a "Merry Christmas" outline sticker to the card.


You can use different colour paper to stamp the xmas stoking on. Here are some examples:


Use sage green card paper instead of the mocha-cream paper







Or just stamp the xmas stocking onto a white card paper (size 9 x 9 cm) and attach it to a green card (10 x 10cm) instead.
