Day #16 of 25 Days of Christmas - Elf Shoes

Here is Day #16 of 25 Days of Christmas - Elf Shoes - I saw these on another demonstrator's blog and just had to try them!!  Aren't they absolutely darling?

 

Stamp Set:  Tiny Tags (118091 W 118592 C, page 124)

Card Stock:  Lucky Limeaid, Very Vanilla, Red Glimmer Paper (124005, page 160); Festival of Prints Designer Series Paper Stack (126904, page 20 Holiday Catalog)

Ink:  Lucky Limeaid

Punches:  1/2" Circle (119869, Page 184); Postage Stamp (122344, page 182), 1 3/4" Circle (119850, page 184), Jewelry Tag (117190, page 183)

Big Shot:  Top Note Bigz Die (113463, page 193);  Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (117335, page 189)

I cut one Top Note in Lucky Limeaid.  Cut that one in quarters.  I took two of the "quarters" and snipped out with the 1 3/4" circle punch to make the "elf shoe shape".  I did one and then lined up the other one to get them straight. 

This is a very easy card; I hope you will try it!!

Snowman Candles

I just fell in love with these darling little snowmen candles that Becky Roberts shared on her blog!!

Is this little guy cute or what?  He is made with the little electric tea lights. 

Card Stock: Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Punches:  1/2" circle, 1 3/8" circle, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle, Extra Large Oval, Large Oval

About 16" of the Sweater Trim (page 11 of the Holiday Catalog)

Lattice Square Embossing Folder

Basic Pearls - I painted them with a black Sharpie

For the head,  you punch a 1/2" circle in a piece of Whisper White card stock.  Then frame  the 1 3/8" circle punch around the 1/2" circle and punch.  This is the face and fits over the "nose" candle light.  Add the small pearls for the mouth and the medium pearls for the eyes.

For the hat, punch out half of the extra large oval in Gumball Green.  Cherry Cobbler for the brim - using the large oval, snip out a piece - then snip another piece for the brim.  Attach to the hat and using the 1/2" circle punch out for the pom pom. Glue these all together and run through the Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

Attach to the face with adhesive

Punch out a 1 3/4" scallop circle in Gumball Green and then add a little punch from teh 1/2" circle so that you can turn the candle on and off.  Attach to the back

Tie the Gumball Green, Cherry Cobbler or Whisper White Sweater Trim around the candle (neck???) and your are done!!

Aren't these just the cutest?

The back

 And with the candle on!

Day #12 of 25 Days of Christmas

Continuing the 25 Days of Christmas, here''s a fabulous card I saw on another demonstrator's site, that I just had to case - I shared it with my club members this month

A beautiful Wreath

Stamp Sets:  Watercolor Winter (129724 W, 129727 C, page 14 Holiday Catalog); Snow Swirled (111690 W, 127799 C, page 18), Merry Minis (127916 W, 127919 page 6 Holiday Catalog)

Card Stock:  Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Ink:  Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, VersaMark, Gold Embossing Powder (109129, page 159)

Embellishments:  Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon (120992, page 172)

Punch:  Merry Minis Punch Pack (126882, page 6 Holiday Catalog), 1 3/4" Circle (119850, P]age 184), 1/2" circle (119869, page 184)

Here's a quick little tutorial

The card is 5" x 5" square and is cut 5" x 10" and scored at 5".  The Cherry Cobbler Layer is cut 4 7/8" x 4 7/8" and the white is cut 4 3/4" x 4 3/4"

To make your wreath you will use the pine bough from Watercolor Winter Stamp Set.  Cut out a 1 3/4" circle from a post-it note

Add this circle to the center of your Whisper White piece.  Using the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig line up your pine bough and stamp with Always Artichoke - stamp once, change the SAMJ and stamp again without reinking your stamp.  Stamp just to the right of your first stamp.  Do this all the way around the circle making sure your  "branch" is inside the post-it note circle.

Remove the post-it note and you have your wreath.  Add some 1/2" circles punched in Cherry Cobbler.  

Draw a line in Cherry Cobbler with your Stampin' Write Marker for the small ornament to "hang" on.  Stamp the ornament in Versamark and cover with gold embossing powder - punch out with the punch pack Merry Minis ornament.  Attach to Cherry Cobbler line with dimensionals.

For the tag I stamped "Seasons Greetings" in VersaMark and also gold embossed it on a piece of 1" x 5" Whisper White.  I cut out one end with my paper snips to make the "ribbon" look.  And then added a piece of Cherry Cobbler Card Stock to the left end cut 1/2" x 1".  Attach this to the front of the card with dimensionals.

Cut a piece of Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Seam Binding about 10" and tie into a bow and add to the front of the card with mini glue dots.

Then I added both Cherry Cobbler and Whisper White cut in the same measurements above to the inside of the card.  I stamped the pine bough in there too

I hope this will inspire you a bit.  Please let me know if you have any questions!!
