***WARNING*** LOTS of photos!

Today I am sharing a shadowbox, featuring LJD Darling Dots stamp set and is FULL of MFT goodness and Die-namics dies along with sweet photos of my family :)

I made a paper patchwork stocking using Darling Dots and Die-namics Jumbo Christmas Stocking. I stamped a fun sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments using MFT Wild Cherry ink on a die cut label made using Die-namics Layered Label Die.

This panel features die cut numbers made using Die-namics High Rise numbers and Darling Dots stamped/embossed patterned paper along with the month of DECEMBER from LL Journal It - Calendar Basics that was stamped using MFT Wild Cherry ink on a die cut label made using Die-namics LJD Howdy Frames.

Next is a gorgeous shimmery Sno Cone snowflake that was made using Die-namics Jumbo Snowflake along with a smaller snowflake made using Die-namics Let It Snowflake die:

Couldn't resist adding a few various size Poinsettias made using Die-namics Poinsettia and a flourish made using Die-namics Medium Fancy Flourish:

and last but not least is a fun Santa sleigh made using Die-namics Santa Sleigh topped off with a Sno Cone snowflake and a Whip Cream button.

I also made a Christmas card featuring Darling Dots. I stamped a sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments on a die cut label made using Die-namics Framed Greetings. I completed the card with a die cut flourish made using Die-namics Medium Fancy Flourish and a Wild Cherry cardstock Poinsettia made using Die-namics Poinsettia

Here's a short tutorial showing how I created the cute die cut Darling Dots stocking:

Stamp 1/2" W x 6" L strips of Berrylicious and Sno Cone cardstock. Stamp image using larger dots from Darling Dots using VersaMark ink, heat emboss using fine white embossing powder then cut into 1/2" squares.

Adhere squares to a piece of cardstock, alternating every other square with the various colored cardstock.

Using Die-namics Jumbo Christmas Stocking die cut stocking then stitch around perimeter:

Die cut stocking topper, adhere in place and stitch across horizontal edge. Apply Distress ink around edges:

Die cut Sour Apple felt Holly leaves, adhere to stocking then stitch 3 Wild Cherry buttons to stocking:

Shown below are the Die-namics included in the November release that I used on my projects today:
