Day 25 - Merry Christmas Everyone!

We want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Exciting New Year! I have enjoyed posting Christmas projects for you all. And I hope you were inspired!





The final project came from Amber Geehan. I thought that this would be the perfect project to end my challenge. What an AWESOME Santa!


Day 25
Gift Bow Tie Santa



It was fun and easy to make.

Amber's Instructions:

Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 3/8" x 3 3/4" and place each end into the #119857 Word Window punch to round the edges.

Use the large piece of the bow from the #129977 Gift Bow Die and glue together. Then run the bow thru the Big Shot using the #117335 Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder.

Tape bow and ribbon pieces together.

Cut a 1" x 4 1/8" piece of #111351 Pink Pirouette cardstock, and use the  #119873 3/4" Circle Punch. Then ink the edges of the nose with #126956 Pink Pirouette.

Santa's hat is cut from the #123126 Perfect Pennants Die (the largest triangle which measures 3 1/2" x 4 1/2"). Curl the tip of the hat using a bone folder. Attach the hat and trim. 



The eyes are punched from the #118074 Owl Builder Punch. Accent the eyes with the #105021 uni-ball Signo Gel pen. The pom pom on Santa's hat is punched with the #132967 Starburst Framelit and  #124005 Silver Glimmer paper is used.

My Happy Place

I always get compliments on my craft room...on how clean and organized it is. So I wanted to show you what it looks like after a crafting spree!



Not so pretty...huh? I think it's going to take me all of my Christmas vacation to clean it up! Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful time with your family and friends over the holidays. See you soon!

Hope you enjoy...thanks for stopping by!
