Christmas Time

Hello - Helle from www.mycreativehideout.com has seized control of the blog this fine 3. Sunday in Advent.

I want to show you what I've been up to this past week. It involves these:

I fell in love with them instantly and knew exactly what I wanted to used them for.

Christmas Tags for this years presents!

I used the Tag Thanks Latte and stripped away everything but the scalloped base and the inside circle.

I didn't feel like making a very detailed tag because I felt the dome, the glitter and the small image inside the dome was details enough.

I used DCWV "Christmas Plaid" paper and Tim Holtz Ideaology Gold Kraft-Stock for the tag.

Inside the dome is a print and cut motive of pinecones with branches from Carta Bella's "Let it Snow" collection along with Diamond Sugar Dust from Craft Décor.

I embossed and sanded the gold paper for effect and used gold twine to tie it unto the presents.

And I didn't stop here…..

I was on a roll with these domes and decided to use them for this years place cards for the Christmas Table:

The place cards are the JGW Snowflake Placecards.

They are made from Kraft Cardstock, Ideaology Gold Paper, white pearl paper and Best Creation White Glitter Paper.

Inside the dome is a print and cut from Carta Bella's "Christmas Delivery" collection and Diamond Sugar Dust from Craft Décor. I also wrote "Merry Christmas" in Danish.

Instead of using a candy inside the tag, I used snowflake printed vellum to write the names and decorated with a border of a snowflake circle (design ID #34350) I found in the Silhouette Design Store.

Then, for a fun detail, I placed a small led light inside the tag:

It's a bit hard to see in the picture, but it really lights up the name nicely.

As a final detail, I tied some gold tinsel on top of the place card.

And there….I'm all set for Christmas now.

Thanks for joining me today. I'm back again next Sunday for a final Christmas project.

Snowflake Ornament ~ with Cyndy G

Good morning crafters.  Today I have a fun little ornament using the Snowflake Stick Ornament that can be found in the JGW Snowflake Stars from SVG Attic.  I reduced the size of this ornament to a 4" circle.  Everything cut out perfectly at this size however I did decide not to use the "sticks" on this one.  I did cut them out but I just decided not to use them.

I used some of my Doodlebug paper and a few of their cut files for the center of my snowflakes.  At this small size it was easier to cut files that had just a few pieces, so I used pieces of candy.  I used Watermelon Taffy Trendy Bakers Twine from Annie's Paper Boutique, my personal favorite.

These little ornament look so yummy.  I love the bright colors.  Thank you for stopping by today.

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.

Belongs to Frosty

Hello and happy 3rd Sunday in Advent.

 

Today I want to show you the cute Christmas decoration I made using the hat from the JGW Frosty Topper kit.

 

 

This was both a challenge and so much fun to make.

 

I used AC Cardstock in Black and Charcoal for the hat and added the snowflake made from double-sided adhesive sprinkled with glitter to make it look frosty.

 

 

Then I went to town with Fir Sprigs in Forrest AC Cardstock and Leafy Sprigs in Spinach along with a Pinecone in Chestnut AC Cardstock.

 

 

I also made him a Corncob 3d Pipe in AC Cardstock Butter and Caramel and two thick buttons in Sky, Blue Jay, Chestnut and Chocolate Cardstock and tied some white raffia onto them as string.

 

 

Finally I added some different decor pieces like the berries, the small glass baubles and the Spanish moss and Voila! It was done.

 

Usually I haven't got the first idea on how to make a Christmas Decoration - but I think I got away with this one - don't you?

 

Thanks for joining me today....Christmas is almost here, but I still have a few things up my sleeve.

Another Frozen Birthday ~ with Cyndy G.

Happy Friday, thank you for stopping by.

Today I am sharing some cute little Frozen purses and card.  They are for my daughter's birthday.  When I asked what paper would you like me to use this year she happily proclaimed Frozen.  Another Frozen birthday - I think Frozen will live forever in our home :)

I used an adorable little purse from Pretty Purses and changed out
the flower with the snowflake from CG Nutcracker Dream.

I added a ribbon to the handle and gemstones to the snowflake.

I also made one of the snowflake cards from JGW Snowflake Stars.  I love this card.  I added a frozen sticker and a stamp sentiment for a beautiful finish to the card.

Winter Fun

I-team Sonja here. There are so many great winter activities, that I decided to display them all for January.

I used several SVG Attic files to create this project listed below under Materials Used. 

I really wanted an old style sled. I decided to put a couple of SVG Attic files together and create my own sled!

You can't have winter fun without snow! This new snowflake is gorgeous with the glitter paper. 

I like to watch hockey, ice skate not so much (getting too old for falling on ice), same goes for skiing, but building a snowman is still fun!  

A dab of fake glitter snow against the sparkling paper makes it all pop! 

The lights make this set serene when lit up at night! 

This concludes my take on winter and I hope to not see anymore snow for a long time! 

Materials Used:
JGW Snow Flurries~Snowman, large snowflakes (3)
