Hi Crafty Friends, back with more socks from the newest release over at Pixi Dust Designs! How cute are all these adorable Santa and Snowman Socks Dies. I love that with the one die you can make two different images!

Let’s start off with the Santa Socks, I grabbed a panel of grey card stock and a brick stencil from my stash. Place them on my grip mat and with the Distress Grit Paste Opaque and a spatula smeared it on. I didn’t want complete coverage. Set it to the side to dry.

Next, I die cut out the Santa dies for the whites I used the Velvet Luxury Snow White Card stock. It gave it the texture or fuzziness that I wanted. On the edges of the red card stock I did some ink blending with a dark brown red ink from SSS inks. Assembled the sock and added White highlights with a gel pen and popped it up with foam squares.

The panel is now dry, so I trimmed off 1/8 inch on all sides. This helps take any of the rough edges off from the paste. Matted it onto a black card stock.

The sentiment is from Comfort and Joy Sentiments from Spellbinders, but it might be discontinued right now. Popped it up and add liquid glue as well to make sure it adheres to the paste.

Now the Snowman Sock I used a glitter paste for the background as well. So with a light teal card stock and a Snowflake stencil from my stash, I placed it on my grip mat. Applying the glitter paste with a spatula and set it to the side to dry.

I die cut out the Snowman from the white and did some very light gray ink blending on the edges. The polka dot pattern paper is from DoodleBug Dots and Strips. For the hat I used the Brushed Black card stock from Spellbinders. This card stock is so yummy!!

I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment from the set onto black and trimmed it down to fit and the bottom of the panel popping it up as well.

The panel is dry now so I trimmed off 1/8 inch on all sides as well.

Adhered it all together then I realized I wanted a little more. So from the There’s Snow-one like You Dies, there is a snow flake. I die cut them from Pixie Dust Glitter card stock from Lawn Fawn. Doing enough to add to the centers of the panel of glitter snow flakes.
