DT Winter Wonderland: Merriest Christmas

 


 Dear Scrappers,

This is my June post for Winter Wonderland Challenge Blog:



This month's sponsor is:


I chose the Winter Chickadee for my card following this month challenge "Flying High at Christmas"



I colored the printed digital image with distressing inks using a watercolor brush for a soft look. Then I die cut a circular tag using the CTMH die, and distressed the edges using a gold ink. After it dried, I added some enamel dots to showcase the red fruits and snow flakes. For the rest of the fruit, I used red glitter paste after coloring them with red ink.


I attached the tag to a big red bow using gold twisty tie.

And cut the three different printed papers to assemble the card inspired in the sketch and attached my tag using foam tape and 3D dots for the bow.


Finally, I cut the sentiment I wanted from the Christmas washi tape and added it to the right bottom part of the card.

I really like the red and green color combination and the 3D feel of this card.

DT: Hidden Garden Sitting Chart

 


 


Hi, 

This is  my next post for Craftwell. 

For this post, I was asked to decorate a sitting chart for our school's gala. The theme for the gala was the hidden garden. So I went with the theme.

I made a video from a PowerPoint Presentation I made to explain the techniques and steps I did for creating this sitting chart:

Here are some closer views of the different elements I created:


I really love this flower drapery die and coordinated charisma from Tattered Lace, so I had it ready for my next project, which was perfect for creating a secret garden theme stage.

The decorative borders and corners dies from Graphic 45 were also a perfect match for this project.


I went with DCWV gold printed paper for the die cuts of the words/ numbers and corners/ border because I love how this paper looks like glitter chunks reflecting in the light.

For the tables and 8 chairs, I went with hearts doilies with the gold number die cuts.


I mounted each piece with foam squares to give them more depth.

This was a fun project to make and I did not have much time and only used the supplies I had at my workplace.

DT: St. Valentine's Day Bookmarks

 




Hi, 

This is my next post for Craftwell. 

For this post, I made some bookmarks for my children's teachers for St. Valentine's Day:


I found these cute deep cut dies from Taylored Expression (TE) for making felt bookmark critters for Christmas, and made these ones for the Fall and Christmas Bazaars:


I particularly liked the penguin.

So, when I saw that TE made some penguins dies in Valentine's theme, I had to have them and wanted to see if they cut felt as well and yes, they did using my SNAP. I had to put a piece of carstock in top of the sandwich and run it twice, but the SNAP got it right. Best is to use the felt sold by TE, but I run out and used some from Michaels, which also worked fine, but took more effort. 

In short, I died cut the felt pieces, cutting a piece of black carstock for the penguin body (no the arms) as well (in this case, I didn't need to put a piece of carstock in top of the sandwich). I was able to cut all different pieces I needed in the same plate/run. I also cut some of the Christmas Critters Penguins.
Then, I glued the felt pieces together and used the included eye stamps for stamping the eyes (so much nicer than gluing felt eyes):


Then, I stamped on a DCWV heart foiled paper my children's names and the included "HUGS" sentiment. I cut those in slanted strips.

Then, I assembled the bookmarks, using the black cardstock as back, I hot glued the big paperclips, and hot glued to the back of the felt penguin. Then I hot glued the arms, hugging the sentiment strips and to hold the chocolate hearts:


And made some of the Christmas Critters Penguins as well:


I just hot glued the sentiment strip to the back.

Very simple and cute. I made 36 of them quickly:
