Shaped Snowman Card with Beth

Good morning to all my crafty friends!  Beth from Beth's Beauties here today.  I have some thank you cards to send out after the holiday season, so this is one of those cards that I will be mailing.  The card file is from SVG Attic's Winter Illuminations kit.

This card was very easy to assemble!  I opted to use the front panel without the stitching holes.  I used patterned papers from DCWV's Blue Noel stack and a ribbon for the scarf.  Adhesives used include Scotch Tacky Glue and Glue Dots Glue Lines (for the ribbon).  I also stamped a sentiment from APB Let It Snow stamp set in black in the lower left corner.

I hope you have a wonderfully crafty day!

Dimensional Ornaments

Happy 2nd December - YAY.....we're officially in the month of Christmas and counting down to the big day/night. And on top of that - it's 1st Sunday in Advent. Lighting the first candle today.

Yeah - I'm still like a kid (in oh so many ways) that gets all excited about Christmas. My decorations were up by mid November, we've startet on our Advent Calendars (me and the kids) and today is present day. The kids get a present each in their "Stocking" - usually money cause that's all they want (yes I have big kids now).

I have been busy all week making myself some new Christmas Ornaments from SVG Attic and as I'm a nut for Graphic 45 paper, I found all the Christmas collections I had in store and chose out some patterns that would work for this project.

All of these ornaments are made double sided so it can be seen from all sides.

Ok - let's get started! First one is the Patchwork 3D Star Ornament from the Just Be Claus kit:

For this I used AC Cardstock in Vanilla and several patterned paper from Graphic 45's "St. Nicholas" Then I inked the edges with Distress Ink.

I also downsized the ornament to 75% of the original so it won't be too big for our tree.

Then I made the Snowflake 3D Six Point Star Ornament from the Winter illuminations kit:

I also used AC Cardstock for this one in Cranberry and patterned paper from Graphic 45's "Winter Wonderland." This too is inked with Distress Ink and downsized to 75%

Next is the Poinsettia 3D Slice Form Ornament:

This is made from AC Cardstock in Cranberry, Tim Holtz Metallic Paper in Gold, White Glitter paper from Best Creation and patterned paper from Graphic 45's "A Christmas Carol"

This is downsized by 50% and inked with Distress Ink. I also added a gem to the flower center on both sides.

Then I made the 3D Snowflake with Triangle Points:

I used AC Cardstock in White and White Glitter Paper from Best Creation.

I then added two glass snowflakes from my stash and glued two snowflake sequins onto those for a little extra.

This one is made in the original size.

Finally I made the Snowflake 3D Slot Form also from the Winter Illuminations kit:

It is, like the previous ornament, made from AC Cardstock in White and White Glitter paper from Best Creation.

This one is also downsized to 75%

Wow - that was a bit long - sorry about that. Hope you like them despite this and if you do, please leave a little love in a comment below.

Until next time - have a wonderful 1st Sunday in Advent.

Christmas in July - Part II ~ with Cyndy G

Happy Friday crafters!  Today I am sharing a fun project using the Six Point Star Snowflake from the Winter Illuminations Kit.  I love this file.  I loved the snowflakes just as they are but I wanted to take them to the next level.

I used Graphic 45 - Nutcracker Sweet and did a lot of fussy cutting.  The base of the snowflake has three layers, two cut out of patterned paper and one out of thin chipboard.  I used Mod Podge on each individual layer and added the dimensional diamonds to the center.  I used Mod Podge to glue all three layers together and let them dry overnight.  This made the ornament very sturdy.  

 While the base was drying I cut multiples of the same image and layered them with foam tape for dimension.  I inked all the edges and used Mod Podge on all the individual pieces.  While the pieces were still wet I molded them, adding waves in the banners, ripples in the ballerina skirts and molded the page cut out to make it look more like a book.  These were also left to dry overnight.

The next day everything was ready to assemble.  This is one of my favorite paper collections and I am very please with how my ornaments turned out. 

  Thank you for stopping by.
