New Year Hat

With New Year's just a couple hours away, I decided to create a New Year's Hat for my son tonight. 

I used the diaper from the Baby Package, bear from the Bee Hive Bears, balloons, party hat, party favor from Birthday Boy Bears all from ScrappyDew.com. I printed all layers on photo paper and hand cut them. Applied foam mounting tape to give them dimension.

The Happy New Year banner is from Mary Kobe. The 2012, I used Black Oak Font and also created a shadow layer.

The confetti on the brim is Martha Stewart Iridescent Hearts and Stars Glitter, feathers from Michaels, Black Ribbon from Michaels.

Hope you all have a great New Year! 

Thanks for looking.

Hi there, this is a cute 12x12, 3-D shadow box that I just completed using the Bee

Thank you for letting me share this project with you. ~DT Member Ava F.~

Tag Card

I made this Tag for my little nephew, I'm going to use it for his gift card for Christmas. This little elf is so cute!

I used the Elf Kids Boy and Girl Set You get a nice variety of Elves in this set.

The tutorial I used to create this card is Here. This is a nice size tag which measures 4 1/4 x 6 inches high and uses a 12 x 12 sheet of paper to make.  I think it would look nice hanging from the tree also. You can tuck an extra little gift inside.

I applied some Glossy Accents to the eyes to make them stand out a bit. I used some red Stickles on the cuff of his hat, tassel, bow and ribbon on the gift box. I used Cotton Candy Stickles for his nose. 

I used a Martha Stewart punch for the red eyelet trim. The Merry Christmas stamp is from Punkin Patch Stamps and the No Peeking Sentiment is computer generated using Vivaldi Font. The blue label is from the Silhouette Store, also applied some Royal Gems to the ends.

For my inside tag, I chalked the edges using a red and green chalk. The red pull tag is a shape I had left over from another tag project. The Gift Box Stamp is from Recollections, I used Red Dragon Embossing powder on it from Stampendous. I used some Crochet Cotton for the string of the tag.

Christmas Mice Tags

With Christmas fast approaching, I always like to keep tags on hand for adding to gift bags. I'll purchase just plain bags and then decorate them. I made these tags using ScrappyDew's Christmas Mice. They are so cute!

After cutting all pieces, I added flocking to ears, nose, tummy and trim on hat and tassel. You really can't see it in the photo. I also made some berries for the wreath by welding 3 circles together in Make the Cut and adding flock to those also. 

I embossed the tags, wreath and gift box. Applied some Glossy Accents to the lights. I used Scotch Foam Mounting Tape to pop the mice. Inked the tags in gold and the mice in black. 

Supplies Used: 

Inkssentials Glossy Accents - on Lights

Flocking - Pink, White, Burgundy

Lantern - SleddingSnowmen

Today for my project I'm going to show you a winter themed lantern I created.  I used ScrappyDew's Sledding Snowmen  (scroll down to view all the patterns) cutting files to decorate my lantern.
Lantern pattern by Sandra's Scrapsels, converted to cut with MTC.

This is the first side, as you can see he is winding up for a snowball fight.

This is the second side and this guy is in a race to avoid them! LOL Some additional photos.

You can see just how small I cut these snowmen and they still cut great on the Expression. I love Rob's files because they are arranged in layers according to color and also 1 layer has the file completely put together. Which is very useful if you like to do Print n Cut's. Just open the file, size and print. How easy is that!

some added greenery

Side view, you really can't see from the photo but there are many layers to this lantern. You have the side of the lantern, then a vellum layer sandwiched in between the face of the lantern, a top decorator piece and then the icicle layers.

My "Tricked Out" Coffin

Today I'm going to share another Halloween project I completed. I have been wanting to make a coffin for some time now.

I started out with a purchased box from Micheal's and painted it black.  I cut 2 flourishes out and added red Stickles to them and set aside to dry. Next I worked on my Rosette Flower. I cut the Rosette, and a scallop circle. I had some extra webbing around the house since I had been decorating and hot glued it to the Rosette. I attached my scalloped circle and applied some Ranger Liquid Pearls and set aside to dry. I added some Stickles to the roses and worked on the little spiders next. They were also a left over decoration and I was wondering what I could add to them, so I put some little rhinestones on them.

 

While all that was drying I started on the inside. I cut my Little Vampire from the Halloween Palz
and assembled him. I chalked him but you can't see it in the photo. Once assembled, I added some Stickles to the cape and then to his hair and set aside to dry. I cut the spider and the bat from the Cuttlebug Dies. I added some Stickles to them also and set aside. I glued some webbing to the inside of the coffin.

The Eat Drink sentiment is cut from the DCWV Midnight Spell Stack. I used pop dots and applied it to the inside of the coffin. My spider finally dried about 1 hour later and I stuck him to the coffin with a pop dot, and then added some additional webbing. I glued the bat to the inside of the coffin, added a spider, then I made a brace for the vampire and attached it to him and hot glued it to the inside of the coffin. Before attaching him I did his face.

I applied some ribbon to the bottom part of the coffin using double sided tape. Next, I finished the Rosette by attaching the roses and the spiders, then hot gluing it to the top of the coffin.

The Vampire is suppose to be holding a bat, but because he is only 2 inches tall my Expression would not cut the bat properly. :(
