Lawn Fawn Card-Day Five of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

I cannot believe it is already December 5th!! Only twenty more days to Christmas shop. Putting that in writing just scared the pants off of me!!

Today I am going to show you a card I created using Lawn Fawn stamps. I mixed two stamp sets-Making Frosty Friends and Winter Sparrows to create this card. The background paper is from Bazzill's Halloween collection (I love paper that I can use after the holiday!!) and the black label is from My Mind's Eye.

Didn't it turn out cute? I especially love the embossing paste on the hat and along the base with the glitter. It really "makes" the card.

I want to thank you for stopping by during this time. It is so fun to show you all what I have created for the day.

Day 4 of Christmas Fun…Yet Another Tag

Happy Hump Day!! I hope you are all having a great Wednesday morning. The work week is halfway over!!!

Are you sick of my Christmas tags yet? I hope not!! Here is another one I created.

I have to admit something on this tag. I had stamped and colored this little bear a couple years ago. I then never used it. I found it while cleaning up this weekend so I decided to use it. I cut it out and placed it on a stamped tag. This tag took no time at all because I already had the image. Note to self…stamp and color images ahead of time to use at a later date!!!

Here is a closer look:

Thank you for stopping buy. I hope you have a wonderful day!!

Day 3 of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

Hello everyone!! I hope you all are having a terrific Tuesday.

Today I am showcasing a paper birdhouse ornament I created. I originally was going to make this for last month's Paper Trey Ink's November blog hop but didn't because I really didn't use that many PTI products on this. However, I don't care because I LOVE how this ornament came out.

To begin with, I cut Kraft card stock into two  4" by 8 1/2" pieces and then adhered the pieces together.  This probably wasn't necessary but I wanted to make sure that this ornament was as stable as I could make it. I then adhered a house template I had cut out on top of the Kraft paper using temporary adhesive. (Please see this post on Nichole Heady's blog for the template I used.)

Next, I cut the house out of the Kraft paper and, using a bone folder, I creased the areas where the dotted line was on the template.

I then took the template off the paper and inked the house using Vintage Photo ink.

My next step was to fold the house in the creased areas and glue it together. I then used a piece of wire that I had threaded through a bell and adhered the wire on the inside of the house. (I apologize for the photo. It was dark outside and the lighting isn't very good in my room. Also, this is not the house I made for the post but another one I put together.)

To create the roof, I cut out a 4" by 2" piece of patterned paper, punched the sides using a scalloped punch and then ran it through a paper crimper. I punched two holes in the top and laced a piece of jute through, knotting it on the bottom so that I wouldn't be able to see it.

I then adhered the roof on to the house. I cut another piece of patterned paper into a 2" by 2" square and adhered that to the bottom. Now that the house was together, the fun part was to start!!

I then die cut a piece of holly from green paper and adhered that over the bell, covering up a piece of the wire that was peeking out. I then used red Stickles glitter glue to create the berries. I set it aside for a little while to dry before I used embossing paste around the whole house to recreate "snow." Before the embossing paste was dry, I sprinkled fine glitter to give the ornament some holiday sparkle. The last step was to tie a green bow on top of the house.

I had so much fun creating this ornament that I cut out a few more to make and give away as gifts.
I wish I could find the little red birds I used to have to add to this house but I can't find them anywhere!! If you saw my craft room, this wouldn't surprise you, though.

Thank you for letting me share this project with you. Stop by tomorrow for a fun card!

Penny Black "Cold Nose Warn Heart" tag-Day 2 of Twelve Days of Christmas Christmas Fun

Today I am going to share another tag that I created. This time I used the Penny Black Stamp set "Cold Nose Warm Heart." They have a series of adorable little penguins in holiday poses.

I first stamped my penguin and colored it in using Copic markers. Next I die cut the image with My Favorite Thing's "Pierced Circle Stax." These are my new go to circle dies! I then layered the circle over a PTI die cut snowflake and tag. 

My last step was to put tiny dots of Stickles glitter glue on the stamped snowflakes and embossing paste on the hat to make it look like fur. On the back of the tag, I put a "to" and "love" sentiment. I wasn't sure how much I would like this when I was putting it together but it is one of my favorites that I have made this weekend.

Thank you for stopping by today. I hope you will return tomorrow for an ornament idea. Have a great day!
