Welcome to week twenty-eight of our Art With Heart 2024-25 Colour Creations blog hop!
This week we’re featuring Granny Apple Green, a vibrant, fresh green from the Brights family. My card tonight has also been created for the 30 Day Christmas Card making challenge and today’s challenge is Day Six, “Stocking Stuffer”.
As I don’t own a current Christmas stocking stamp, once again, the die cuts from the A Little Bit Festive DSP come to the rescue!
Luckily, the four stockings die cut piece are coloured with Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green and a touch of Pecan Pie.
To make these four stockings look like they are hanging on a mantlepiece I’ve added a layer of Basic White cardstock embossed using the Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder, bordered with the Granny Apple Green glimmer paper. from the Festive 12″ x 12″ (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Glimmer Paper.
This outdoor photo shows how shimmery the Granny Apple Green glimmer paper is!
To add texture and interest to the four stockings I’ve added Granny Apple Green and Garden Green die cut fronds using dies from the Winterly Tree Top dies. I’ve used a sponge dauber to add more Granny Apple Green to the edges of the foliage.
The red embellishments are from the Cherry Cobbler & Pearl Adhesive-Backed Berries and the Real Red stamped sentiment is from the Decorative Trees stamp set.
Now it’s time to hop in over to our next participant, the lovely Andrea Sargent. I can’t wait to see what Andrea has made this week!

Love this. You are so good. I would like to buy a Christmas stamp set from you. I particularly loved the birds Christmas card you did.
Love this card. It has everything that says Christmas.
Utterly delightful, Cath! Great choice of embossing folder to emulate a fireplace/mantel, and I love the little stockings. The foliage looks beautiful, with extra inking.
