I’ve used the Sweet Little Stockings bundle together with the gorgeous Gingerbread and Peppermint DSP for my week 1 Christmas Countdown project. My aim is for you to use the payout and ideas from the card rather than copying it directly. For example, you can use any DSP and match the colours, and any Christmas stamp set with small images and make a card based on this one. Experiment and enjoy!

Mark the strip of DSP at 12cm then in half at 2.5cm as shown in the video. Cut from each point to the centre mark to produce the pointed base. Add adhesive strip to the back around 1cm down from the top and add the ribbon, Turn over, add another adhesive strip t hold the ribbon in place and tie a knot. Stick the completed piece to the centre of your card base.
Stick the square of DSP to the real red square. Emboss the white circle if wanted and stick to the red circle. Stick both to the card base as shown.
Stamp the images you want in Memento onto scrap card – I used the dog head and two presents. Colour using Stampin’ blends or Stampin’ Write markers and die cut or cut out by hand.
Emboss your sentiment in white onto red card and trim as desired. I used a corner rounder on three or four sides.
Add images and sentiment to card as wanted using dimensionals.
Add rhinestones as desired.
Don’t forget to stamp the inside of your card and decorate your envelope!
