For today's project I created a reindeer treat box that is a she.
I got the idea of making her a she reindeer over at the Silhoutte blog

You can see behind that I am working on the second advent calendar.  I was not able to finish.  Enough boxes were finished so that my niece can start opening boxes tomorrow.  My sister is helping me so we can finish it tomorrow.   Actually I am just cutting and my sister is putting boxes/drawers together and embellishing them to her taste.
Supplies used that you can find over at Happy N Scrappin'
Doodlebug Classic PP for antlers and ears
Doodlebug  crushed velvet brads tuxedo assortment for eyes
Doodlebug bubblegum twine to create pom pom
Making Memories gem brads

Advent Calendar - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 6

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Hop

We will be sharing newly and previously created
Christmas projects for 12 Days and today is Day 6

 For today's project I created an advent calendar.


Silhouette America has (or had) this limited edition advent calendars and I just had to purchase one....
OK two!!  one to send to my gran babies and the other to stay at my house.  My 9 year old niece lives with me, so my sisters and I will be tackling this task tomorrow!  It is time consuming to decide what papers to use (you need 25 sheets of cardstock or heavy PP) , than cut, put boxes/drawers together, ink, embellish...

First I thought I would send the boxes flat  and let my daughter put them together herself, but decided to put them together here, embellish and send on a box.

When you purchase the advent calendar it come with a card to download both, the boxes and drawers. You have a choice on what to create.  I chose to make 3 boxes (11, 13, 19) and 22 drawers.  I cut the numbers with my Cameo too.  For the 25, I chose to cut a Santa belt instead of using a number.
Closer look at the drawers/boxes on top
Closer look at the bottom drawer/boxes
 
Closer look at the Santa belt.

All PP is from My Mind's Eye Wonderful Winter glitter Christmas papers stack, black is Paper Co., DCWV for golden buckle.  Inked with walnut stain from Tim Holtz and added black and red twine.

I almost forgot to mention that I first cut all the number and lay them on a craft sheet and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist.

I was running out of time because I have to ship this (overnight), but even though the paper is all glittery and I added Glimmer Mist to the numbers, I think I am missing some bling!!

An Ornament - 12 Days of Crhistmas - Day 5

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Hop

We will be sharing newly and previously created
Christmas projects for 12 Days and today is Day 5

 Today I am sharing a previously created ornament.
(see disclosure - "we will be sharing newly and previously created Christmas projects").

I created these ornaments last year around this time using my Gypsy, Gypsy Wandering, the cartridges "George and Basic Shapes" and "Independence Day"   See Post HERE for tutorial.

It really warmed my heart to receive two-three requests for my file very recently  (If I did not send it to you yet due to my Gypsy being replaced, let me know and I will send [I think I sent it to everybody that requested it already] it your way!).

--- if you have the recently released Art Philosophy cart, there is a flower in there that is very similar (I do not own this cartridge, but have seen people create "flowers" that are just so similar!)

A Card - 12 Days of Christmas - Day 4

Welcome to the 12 Days of Christmas Hop

We will be sharing newly and previously created
 Christmas projects for 12 Days and today is Day4
Hope you can join us in the fun!

Hopefully you just arrived from Patricia's Creative Diva's Blog

 Today I created a very simple card using one of the newest dies/embossing combos from Sizzix
and have a little tutorial on how I created or how to make a card out of a die.
I did not embellish a lot... my intent is to show the "how to create a card from a die".
 Please excuse such dark pictures... I thought I had fixed with Picasa but now I can see it did not take...



1-Fold piece of cardstock intended to be your card in half and place on die at a level high enough on the design/shape.  A place where it will create a substantial fold.  (click on pictures to see larger detail).
 2-Run through die cutting machine
\
3-This is what your "card" looks like.
 4- Die cut a single shape and embossed with matching embossing envelope. (picture not shown)
5- Adhere cut and embossed shape aligning it on top of  the previously created shape card.
I stamped a sentiment inside and inked the entire bird (and a bit inside the card) with distress ink.
And added a little tag tied around with olive green hemp.

Supplies:
Sizzix Bigz Die with Bonus Textured Impression - Bird #2
Tim Holtz antique linen and crushed olive distress ink
adhesive pearl, hemp and mini tag (TH Sizzix die)
