Okay – off to use some of the other products in the Holiday MIni   Enjoy!  Hugs, Fran


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!



Supplies
