Ho Ho Ho Christmas Ornament

 

To start, die cut the ornament twice from the Love, Joy & Peace Christmas Ornament die out of white cardstock. Flip one of the ornaments over, this way it will match when you adhere the two together. Apply Emboss It Ink to one of the ornaments and sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the entire surface. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool. Apply Emboss It Ink to the other ornament and sprinkle Kells Gold Modern Gilding Powders over the entire surface. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.      

Die cut the Ho Ho Ho word from the Flourished Christmas Minis out of white cardstock. Apply Emboss It Ink to the Ho Ho Ho word and sprinkle Forever Platinum Modern Gilding Powders over the entire surface. Tap off the excess powder and emboss with a heat tool.   

Die cut two small cut out pinecones and two plain pinecones from the Christmas Accents die out of Copper Foil.

From the Create a Wreath die, you'll need the bow and one of the sprigs. Die cut the bow out of red cardstock. Die cut the sprig twice out of dark green cardstock.

From the Christmas Accents Die, cut out two small and two medium flowers out of red cardstock. Die cut the centres for the flower once out of a dark yellow cardstock.

Adhere the bow to the top of the ornament as desired. Adhere the Ho Ho Ho word to the left hand side of the ornament as desired.

Adhere the other ornament to the backside of the ornament with the bow on it.

Flip the ornament over so that the Ho Ho Ho is showing. Adhere the two sprigs on the right hand side of the ornament as desired.

Shape your flowers and adhere a small and medium flower together. Adhere the flower centre to each flower. Adhere a cut out pinecone to a plain pinecone. Repeat the previous step for the other pinecone.

Adhere the flowers and pinecones as desired on the right hand side of the ornament making sure they are covering the bottom parts of the sprigs.

To finish the ornament, tie a piece of twine through the top of the ornament creating to the hanger.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished ornament.

Here is the finished Ho Ho Ho Christmas Ornament.

Sparkly Christmas Tags and Bonus Project! - Guest Designer Judi Kauffman

 

My friend Judi Kauffman designed some sparkly and super simple tags with two dies from my newest release, the flourished reindeer (from the Flourished Christmas Minis) and small size Merry Christmas.

Judi picked light blue and white (White and Light Blue Iridescent Shimmer Sheetz and Velvet Adhesive Sheets), colors that evoke winter, but the combination is yours to choose. And you can design your tags with other dies as well!

Only three steps:

One.

Die cut motif or sentiment from adhesive-backed Velvet sheets.

Two.

Die cut Dashing Rectangles from Shimmer Sheetz* (smallest two for the reindeer and smallest three for Merry Christmas).

Three.

Layer as shown, using clear double sided adhesive tape to secure the Rectangles, and finish by punching a hole for the eighth-inch ribbon.

Flourished Christmas Minis

Merry Christmas Small

*A metal adaptor plate is required for die cutting Shimmer Sheetz. Review Els van de Burgt's YouTube tutorial if you are new to this technique.

Tip: Shimmer Sheetz is non-porous, so pick a pen formulated for writing on glass or plastic to add names and date to the back of the tag.


A big thanks to Judi for sharing with us!

Flourished Christmas Minis Gable boxes...and giveaway!

Hello Crafty Friends!

Have you been enjoying the projects created using the newly released Flourished Christmas Minis?  The minis are perfect for your Christmas projects this year: from tags to cards to lanterns and scrapbook pages...and treat boxes!  Today I am sharing a few treat boxes using the Gable Die Box and the Flourished Christmas minis.

The gable treat boxes are too easy and fun to put together!  The boxes will be great for table settings or treat gifts for the little (or big!) kids on your holiday list.

I made a lot of these boxes this week but thought I would share a few for inspiration:

This box was created using ivory card stock for the box.  I die cut the mini reindeer using scrap ivory card stock and rubbed it with light red ink.  Next, I dyed white seam binding using water and some of the red ink tapped onto a craft mat.  Isn't it pretty?

Another fun gable box was die cut using Kraft card stock.  I then die cut red metallic card stock using the Ho Ho Ho die.  White scrap card stock and the snowflake from the Brrrr die set was used to create the wee snowflake on the box side.

Last- but definitely not least- is the gold glitter gable box.  The box looks so festive in the gold glitter.  The mittens are a perfect combo with the die cut square background mounted on the box.  For the mitten cuffs I added Nuvo Crystal Drops...and thought it looked so nice that I used the drops in the mitten hearts, too.

Now, I have to warn you: once you start die cutting the Gable Box and Minis you won't want to quit!  The boxes are so stinking cute!

 

You can find the Flourished Christmas Minis on the Quietfire Design site HERE.  The Gable Box is HERE.

To celebrate the new release, we're having a weeklong celebration and a giveaway!
