Glitter Ornaments - Take Two

Happy Tuesday!!!

I have a few more ornaments to share with you today. I had a lot of fun making these. Although, vinyl can be a bit tricky... I think the more I use/work with it the easier it will be. I hope so anyway. :)

Z is all about Spiderman these days, so I had to make him an ornament. I found the cut file in the Happy SIL group on FB. The link to the file is below.

I found a free Spiderman type font online. The link to that is below as well. 

I made this one for L. He is our little monster and so I figured Henry Hugglemoster fit him well. I found a free coloring page online and traced it in MTC. I have the file as a freebie below.

This font is called Mister Giggles and I thought it fit Henry well. It's a free font from 2Peas. The link is below.

My brother is a Nightmare fan, so looked online and found a drawing of this Jack. I traced it in MTC, and have the link to the freebie file below.  

I found this Nightmare font online as well, it is also a free file and is listed/linked below.

Glitter Ornaments

Happy Wednesday!!!

I have been working on making Christmas presents the last couple weeks. I try to always make something handmade each year. At the last minute, on Sunday, I decided to make customized glitter ornaments because what's 30 more custom ornaments added to my list, right?

I bought the glass  ornaments at Michael's, they are on sale right now. Then I did the glitter technique. Michelle has a great video showing how it's done, here. Once I got my ornament glittered, I applied my Sofia. I found a free coloring page online, of Sofia, and converted/traced it in MTC, so that I could cut it  out of vinyl. I sized her at 2 1/2" tall.

I found the "Sofia the First" font online for free, so I downloaded it and cut Emily's name and the date in that. It's sized at 2"wide x 1 1/4" tall, her name is a bit bigger then the date.

I found the glitter ribbon on sale at Michael's.

Emily's brother is a fan on Minecraft, so I looked online and found this image. It was easily traced in MTC, sized at 2" tall and cut out of black vinyl.

I googled for a Minecraft font as well. I found this one... I am not 100% in love with it, but it works. I actually found a better one, the next day. I have the link to it below.

Santa Countdown

Happy Tuesday!

A couple weeks ago I came across this Santa countdown idea on Pintrest. I thought it was so cute that I decided to make a couple for my nephew and his friends.

So basically, the child adds a cotton ball everyday until Christmas Eve, making it a fun and easy countdown. I love how the cotton balls make Santa's bread puffy and soft.

I used a MSC file for the Santa, the link is below. I sized him at 11.6" wide. I also added the holly from the snowman (in the same file), it was sized at 2.8" wide. I used lost of inking and foam tape for extra dimension. I used peachie stamps for the face and the numbers on his beard. 

Here he is with a few cotton balls.

The kids are having fun adding a "puffy"each day.

Today is day 4 of my "treats" week and I have another fun treat for you today, that was made with one of the tag dies.

I think these would look so cute hanging all over a Christmas tree! I made it with two of the scalloped tag dies, there is a video below, showing how I made it. It's pretty simple, but much easier to explain on camera.

Day Three - 5 Days of Christmas!

Happy Wednesday!!!

Hello & welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! 

This week we will be sharing w/you LOTS of last minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, layouts, home decor, 3-D items & what ever else come to mind that will help YOU get your juices flowing for the holiday! 

Today is day 3 of my week of treats!

I took a gingerbread man cookie and placed him inside a glassine bag. I folded it over and secured it closed at the back with a piece of washi tape. Then I cut out the Medium Stitched Scalloped Bow Die and a piece of the same paper, was cut at 1 1/4" wide x 5" long. I secured the long piece of paper around the back and onto the front on each side, using glue dots. Then I placed the bow on the front, covering the edges of the paper, so it looks like the box continues all the way around the bag. Finally, I wrapped a bit of twine in the opposite direction and added a small tag, made with the  Teeny Tags Layering Dies and Teeny Tag Holidays stamp set.

Day Two - 5 Days of Christmas!

Happy Tuesday!!!

Hello & welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! 

This week we will be sharing w/you LOTS of last minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, layouts, home decor, 3-D items & what ever else come to mind that will help YOU get your juices flowing for the holiday! 

Since this week is "treat week", for me anyway, I thought it would be fun to make a treat for someone who might be more naughty then nice.

I found the coal at Wal-Mart in the seasonal candy isle, it was only $1 for a bag of 12 pieces. Three of the pieces fit perfectly inside the slider treat box. I slid the box/candy into a pretzel bag, the top part of the slider would have worked, but I like being able to see the coal/candy. I secured the bag on one side with some twine and made a quick card with the Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies and the A Day In December  and Honey Do List Stamp Sets.

Day one - 5 Days of Christmas!

Happy Monday!!!

Hello & welcome to our "5" Days of Christmas"! 

This week we will be sharing w/you LOTS of last minute Christmas ideas, such as cards, layouts, home decor, 3-D items & what ever else come to mind that will help YOU get your juices flowing for the holiday!

I decided that my five days would focused on treats. Today's treat is a simple one.

I took two of the Stitched Round Tab, Arrow & Tag Dies and scored them both 1" up from the bottom of the tag. Second, I folded both of them back on themselves and then glued them together. Then I used the Treat Slider Box Die treat cover and secured it around the nugget and then used a glue dot to attach it inside the folded part of the tag. Lastly, tie the tags/cover closed with ribbon or twine and decorate your treat cover. I will have a video up on Thursday showing how to make it, just incase I lost you along the way.
