Hi there Petaloo peeps, Maggi here and I am so excited that the Petaloo team is blog hoppin' with Graphic 45 and Xyron this week.  We've had the beautiful St Nicholas collection from Graphic 45 and some wonderful sticky products from Xyron to work with!

My sweet poodle Nika needed a Christmas stocking so I made this one for her!  I used Graphic45's new Christmas collection, St Nicholas, to cut out the cuff and toe pieces for the stocking and added a tag & banner from the collection at the cuff and heel. 

 

Xyron sent us some great sticker makers and tape runners to use that are the perfect solution for those tiny parts that you need to adhere.  I fussy cut tiny holly clusters and a a Santa hat and ran them through the 1 1/2" sticker maker and adhered to my diecut poodle.  Loved it!  I didn't get glue all over everything like I usually do and it stayed stuck.  Now that's the perfect adhesive for me.

 

I made my cuff by first cutting a piece of St Nicholas plaid for the cuff and toe.  Then I added a Santa tag and banners from the Graphic 45 St Nicholas collection.  The letters actually came from another G45 collection, Raining Cats and Dogs but over those letters I added some banners from the St Nicholas collection.  I used my Xyron sticker maker to turn those banners into little stickers too. Petaloo crocheted lace was perfect to accentuate the cuff before adding my floral cluster.  Ohhh I totally love Petaloo's pinecone & berry picks that I tucked under those beautiful burlap poinsettias and briar roses.

That sweet poodle is a diecut. I used Ranger Antiquities Weathered White embossing powder to make the curly look on the poodles body. That is a great product when you want a grainy textured look.

Love this gorgeous stocking! I saw some burlap stockings for sale and thought the burlap was so beautiful! But not decorated as nearly beautiful as Maggi's.
