Santa Ornament

Posting pics of what I made with my Christmas Present.... a new cutting machine.  Upgrading has been done and I am off and running.  Nothing like trying to figure out the ins and outs once again but I always expand my knowledge.  A Santa ornament was perfect to try out the software and machine.














Sparkly pom pom's added the extra pizazz.  Sometimes having a ton of crafty stuff pays off as they were in my stash.  I used bakers twine for the cording and some glitter paper for the scalloped edges.  I am thinking about trying embossing folders to add texture.   A reindeer is up next.  A great crafty day once again !

Xmas balls ..

Xmas balls hanging from the branches of the tree...  

This was a little bit of a challenge getting each one stamped separately...  So much fun though to color and glitter. I created a xmas ball look with each circle. A top was added to the ball with some twine wrapped around the branch die cut.  

Swing style houses...

Nice little house card...

that pulls out and each house rotates

Thought this sentiment was perfect for this card...

Santa !

I layered him and used pop dots and glitter to make him sparkle.  "Believe"cut out so nicely.  

 I found a nice color cardstock for his face which can be hard to find at times.  A pale pink for the nose.  Gray snowflake paper for the background.

Plaid Christmas window..

Looks like its snowing out the window !

Sprigs, bow, and Joy to finish it off.  The inside has a touch of plaid to match the outside.

Vintage Red Truck ..loaded up with the tree !

How fun was it making all of these !

Inking and layering for dimension.
