This is a favorite project of mine, that I am sharing again for anyone who may have missed it back in July!!!
I love Christmas for a lot of reasons, but just to name a few: snow angels, caroling, cute and fuzzy reindeer, kids opening gifts. Oh, and don't forget the ***jingle bells***. For my project, I had a stack of paper that I purchased right after Christmas last year and hadn't got to use yet (ooohhh, early present for me, right there...LOL). The stack is called Harvest Holiday, by Cloud9 and boy oh boy is it nice! I really like the embossed metallic accents some of the design papers have and the prints are so festive. My DT theme at the
Mansion is Home Decor-Gifts, so I decided to make a decorative garland.
The step-by-step pictures/tutorial are below if you are interested in learning more about how I achieved these results.
Step-by-Step and Recipe
Diamonds cut using Classic Font @ 5" (emerald green cs)
Wreath and Tree cut using Gingerbread (layer) @ 4 3/4" from Pine Holly Print dp
NOEL cut using Jasmine (Shadow) @ 4 1/2"
NOEL cut using Jasmine (Shadow blackout) @ 4 1/2"
Wreath and Tree cut using Gingerbread (shadow) @ 4 3/4" from Red Holly Print dp
Affixed all layers together using Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive
Pine Garland
Decorative Velvet Bows
Placed small hole punch at top of diamonds to affix bows
Fed wire foil through hole to affix bows to the diamonds and the diamonds to the pine garland
Got out the ***JINGLE BELLS***
Used a deep red yarn trim to hang the jingle bells from the diamonds
Affixed with scotch tape
And the garland was ready for it's final photo shoot.
I hope this gets you in the mood to start creating your own Holiday Crafts!!!
