Reindeer Treats
And now he’s a reindeer! I just couldn’t resist!
This time I cut the Stocking out of felt and sewed it together. The antlers are two layers Early Espresso card stock die cut with the Lattice die. I tried doing the antlers with felt – but droopy antlers just didn’t do it for me! He has a piece of the new Stitched Felt Winter Wishes on his head ( ) and a bright red nose. The jingle bells are hand sewn on his “collar.” The twinkle in his eye is a drop of Dazzling Details. Wouldn’t it be cute to fill the cello with Magic Reindeer food? Hmmmm – off to find some oats and glitter! Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Pony Up Treats
This project was inspired by Jackie Topa. She turned the stocking die upside down and made a horse! Since I live in the heart of horse country (and still had my Holiday Stocking die sitting on my desk)- I had to make my own.
He’s done in Soft Suede card stock with a Vanilla seam binding mane and the new, yummy Early Espresso quilted satin ribbon (124104) from the Holiday MIni. I filled one of the new 1 x 8 cello bags with Skittles to make his hobby horse stick., I did stitch the ribbon down – and next time will just stitch around the entire thing. The big bow is the retired Real Red stripe ribbon – I need to get a few current colors in this ribbon because it makes the best bows! Tomorrow I’ll share where I went from here Enjoy! Hugs, Fran
Sneak Peek – Holiday Stocking die
It’s just around the corner – the Holiday mini! At the moment, my favorite tool in the mini is the Holiday Stocking die. One of the projects shown at convention looked something like this –
This is two stockings with a Big Shot box #2 (closed with on side cut off) in the middle. It will hold treats or a small gift!
Supplies
Stamp Set – Tiny Tags
Ink – Basic Black
Big Shot – Holiday Stocking, Box #2
card stock – Real Red, Very Vanilla, retired DSP
Etc – 5 Petal Flower punch, jingle bells (Holiday Mini!), Square Lattice embossing folder, Tiny Tag punch, floss
Love it – but I want to use the die for more than Christmas! So I turned it into a witch’s shoe –
This was done the same way – two stockings and a box #2 in the middle – with a Big Shot 3 1/2 circle used to make the toe of her boot. Die cut the circle and take a “bite” out of it with the 1 3/4 circle punch.
Then attach it to the front of the boot –
I free hand cut the heel so it looks like a shoe and added Word Window punched pieces to the front for laces or straps. Then I added lots of bling – because this is a stylish witch!
The Box #2 is angled inside for treats!
