Greetings from Santa

I thought I might be finished with Christmas craft for the year but a cute little project I saw made me get out my bits and create! It's another little ornament for my grandson, made with Tim Holtz's Santa Greetings colorize dies - so adorable! I gave Santa a change of outfit colour though, lol.

You get the whole alphabet to play with in this die set, as well as numbers, so can make pretty much anything that will fit across the string. I put a plain white base on the back so I could write a message and glued some gold cord in between the layers for hanging.

Materials used:

• card - white, black, gold foil, turquoise, grey, pink
• dies - Santa Greetings colorize (Tim Holtz/Sizzix)
• inks - peacock feathers distress ink
• other - Big Shot, pink marker, tweezers, gold cord

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers

JAI #683 - Just Choose Two

Less than two weeks till the big day and our new Just Add Ink challenge is right up your Christmas alley! Here's our Choose Two options:

I picked ornaments and presents, choosing to make an ornament as a gift to commemorate my grandson's first Christmas:

I bought ornaments from Spotlight that come in two halves. The image was printed on vellum (so it can be seen from all sides) and coloured with markers, then fussy cut and adhered inside one half with grit paste. I added glitter, mica flakes, baubles and 'candy' confections, keeping the embellishments pretty simple because I want the stamped image to be the star of the show. 

Materials used:

• stamps - Beary Merry Christmas (Mo Manning)
• card - vellum
• other - clear rock candy glitter, mica flakes, baubles, confections (all Tim Holtz), Stampin' Write markers, twines, fillable bauble (Jolly & Joy)

There're plenty more samples to inspire you over on the Just Add Ink blog so do pop over to look, and thanks for calling in.

Cheers
