Create unique Christmas greetings using decorative papers with a charming homespun look
Card & Tag
1 Take a card blank and cover with patterned paper. Trim a slightly smaller rectangle in contrasting toasty dotty paper. Attach a strip of ribbon down the left side of the card. You now have your complete background.
2 Cut a stocking shape out of card and select some ribbon. Trim into strips, then mount onto the stocking, using the red spot fabric for the toe. Trim the strips to create a smooth edge, attach stocking to card front at an angle.
3 Finally place the buttons so they look like they are tumbling out of the stocking top. Position a green heart button on the stocking toe.
