Today, Sabrina Alery is sharing an adorable hand stitched stocking mini album with you: 

Sabrina Alery here with you today to share some brand new Clearsnap product via a stocking shaped mini album that will look great hanging on the tree to hold all those special Christmas memories.

I was inspired by the cute Stocking Stuffer die cut from Imaginesce's Christmas line - Santa's Little Helper - and started cutting the papers into a stocking shape from there.

To fancy up the stocking shape, I inked both the front and back side edges with the Memory Essentials Terrific Tool, a foam tip and Colorbox and Graphic 45's Decades Ink in Triumphant Red, followed by a light coating of Smooch Spritz in Gold Glow for just a hint of shimmer.


For the stocking fold, I used our new Scentz Scented Embossing Powder in Snickerdoodle to emboss the Rollagraph design Floral Frenzy and adhered it to the stocking top. Why shouldn't your projects smell as good as they look?! Genius! The golden color of Snickerdoodle looks so great against the traditional colors of the paper too.


And because the page needed just a little something else, I embossed the little reindeer image with the Scentz powder as well. Of course he has to have a red nose! The brand new Smooch Glitz in Firecracker does just the trick.

On the cover, I whipstitched several, folded layers of embossed kraft paper and patterned paper as the base. The title and die cut images are very cute but are made ever cuter when accented with a coating of Smooch Glitz in Firecracker and Goldrush.

Let's not forget the Sparkle Fibers! To create the red tinsel trim, I simply attached a layer of Scor Tape  to the felt and pressed the Sparkle Fibers in Lipstick against the tape. It's so easy to add a little sparkle to all your holiday projects with products from Clearsnap!
