I've seen the Stitched Stocking stamp set made into so many different things now, and one of my favorite involves a little paper surgery to turn one of the stocking images into a set of baby booties for a cute baby card. I used Pretty in Pink and the matching Stocking Builder Punch makes quick work of punching out the stocking images.
Here's a photo of the "surgery" you need to do on each -- just discard that little center section and then reattach the cuff at bootie length (I like to use a Two-Way Glue pen to reattach the cuff.)
I attached the altered booties over a simple white doily cut using the Perfect Pennant BIGZ die from Stampin' Up. The pink background mat was embossed with the polka dot Textured Impressions folder and the Punking Hearts Corner Punch nips that pretty little upper right corner. The greeting comes from Petite Pairs -- my new favorite Stampin' Up greeting set.
Here's amother version with a slightly different focal point that I did using a white doily cut from our Flirtatious Designer Series Paper. There are two sheets of doilies in the paper pack -- they're orange or pink on one side but white on the other and easy to trim apart for a use like this one.
All of these items are available in my online store. This card was my contribution for a shoebox swap I took part in last weekend at the wonderful Stampcation event. I'll be sharing some wonderful displays from that event in the coming days (plus a cute baby boy stocking card) so be sure to check back.
Thanks for posting these ideas! I really like how different they are from the stamps intended use!
