Secret Santa Sleigh #DCWV

Santa is coming!!!  I made this for the DCWV & May Arts Blog Hop. The sleigh is a pattern by SVG Attic cut with the Cricut Explore.  The paper is DCWV's The Christmas Mercury Glass Stack.  I used 2 sheets of the red, 1 red and it was easy to assemble.  All ribbon used by May Arts and are linked to their retail store and they are currently offering free shipping.  I used the green 3/4" Mini Pom Pom ribbon to decorate the edge of the sleigh.  I then heat embossed the sentiment from Hollydays stamp set by Pink and Main and used pop dots to adhere.  This is the perfect gift for a Secret Santa.

Santa's Sack:
I removed the drawstring from the muslin bag and used fabric glue to adhered the 3/4" Noel canvas ribbon to the inside of the bag.  I then layered the green 3/4" Velvet ribbon on top of the red  5/8" Sheer Grosgrain Stitched ribbon.  I used a gold star straight pin to close and added the jewelry charm, "Christ is the Reason for the Season".  Additionally, I cut strips out of gold tissue paper and used it a filler.

Now to reveal Santa's secret.  The bottom of the sleigh has a secret compartment.  Gasp! The chassis is a box! Room for more treats!  Let's load it up this bad boy because I've been nice all year long!

Peace, Joy, Love

Happy Friday, the eBrush DT continues to showcase our November sponsor, Dreaming Tree . I'm sharing the Nativity Scene from the the Christmas Paperscape Box Cards Collection.   The collection has 3 different designs and are available to purchase as single designs.   

I cut the design on white cardstock with the Cricut Explore and used the eBrush with Sharpies to color the design.   These are 3D cards, however I cut the design larger to use for Christmas decor.

I used 2 blue Sharpies to eBrush the background in a circular motion around the North star, alternating between the 2 different blue markers.  I used the low setting on the eBrush on all the pieces and continued to add the color using washi tape to mask off areas.

All of the white cardstock was eBrushed with the exception of the North Star and Baby Jesus.  I used Latina Crafter's stamp, "Wishing you Peace, Joy and Love this Christmas".  I used Gold Shimmer embossing powder and  heat embossed the sentiment.

The backside of all of the Paperscape Box Cards have a cutout to allow space for a LED tea light.  Here is how the Nativity Scene looks like lit.

Here is a side view.  You can see the gold embossed sentiment and the shimmer of the star and Baby Jesus.

Dreaming Tree includes detailed PDF assembly instructions and step-by-step video with all of their collections.

The Paperscape Box Cards flatten for easy mailing and the SVG for the envelope is included.  As mentioned above, I'm using it for Christmas Decor and the my Nativity Scene measures approximately 9"x 6"

I hope you enjoyed my project today.  Thank you for stopping by today and enjoy your weekend.

Halloween Banner #DCWV

Just a couple more days 'til Halloween!  Here's a banner using DCWV's The Spooky Delight 12"x12" Stack.

With the help of the Cricut Explore Air, I designed the "torn edge" pendant.  I used an image from a Halloween label, copy and pasted along the edges of the banner.  Used the "weld" function to create the torn jagged edge pendant leaving the corners of the pendant visible for alignment of the top layer.  I used black card stock to cut and the used different pattern papers from The Spooky Delight Stack to cut the top layer of the pendant.

I used the eBrush to darken the edges with a black Sharpie:

The "31" is also a Cricut Design Space image.  I stamped the "Happy Halloween" using Pink and Main's "Witch House" and adhered with  Glue Dots for dimension.

Any last minute preparations for Halloween?  I still have some baking to do and more treat bags to put together.
Thank you for visiting and have a safe and Happy Halloween.

Clutch Bag #eBrush

I have another project to share with the  Wanderlust Collection.  using Craftwell's eBrush.

In addition to the Wanderlust Collection, I used Teresa Collins' dies and vellum word stickers; a pink and gold Sharpie markers; clear rhinestones; pop dots; the eBrush.

I used the flower die to cut pink and black flowers.  I wasn't sure which one I would use so I cut both.  I also cut a heart border on chipboard and used it as a stencil.

The gift bag {clutch bag} is a pattern from SVG Cuts.  I used two of the gorgeous gold foil patterns and the black stripe pattern paper for the sides of the bag, all from the Wanderlust collection.  The bag measures 7 1/4" x 10".

I went with the pink flower.  I eBrushed the edges, used pop dots for each layer of the flower and embellished the center with clear rhinestones.

I used the heart border as a stencil and lightly eBrushed it with a pink Sharpie.  I then adhered the Eiffel tower die cut from the Wanderlust ephemera. The "love" is a vellum sticker from the retried collection Hello My Name Is, I eBrushed it with the gold Sharpie and then embellished with clear rhinestones.

Change up the paper and this gift bag can be made for the upcoming holidays.  I hope you enjoy my project today.  

Thank you for visiting.
