Autumn friends

Dreaming Tree recently released an Autumn kit!  Loved the Scarecrow Gift Treat box most of all and decided to make a couple.  Love how they turned out. 

 

You'll need:
Cardstock (see the Supply list - look in the details above the assembly video) FSJ, AC and Paper Studio papers used in my samples.
Sizzix eclips2, eCal3
Lineco book binder glue
embossing folder (Craftwell -8.5 x 11 Design Grids)
Big Shot Pro (base plate, acrylic plates)
Rolling pin
ink (Oatmeal, Olive Green, Sunshine Yellow, Blue - Fun Stamper's Journey)
raffia
pop dots (Glue dots)

For a lighter impression from the embossing folder, use a rolling pin instead of the Big Shot. 

I liked this look much better than the pieces that I put through the Big Shot using the correct  sandwich.  Next time, I think I'll leave off one of the shims. 

Ink all the embellishment pieces  before gluing to the base. 

There is an assembly video available on Dreaming Tree's site.  See the link above.  I often find it useful to watch before beginning the gluing process. 

These are fun and relatively quick to put together in an afternoon. 

An idea I had was to cut a circle in the base piece, glue the hat to the head piece and the Gift box could become a tree topper.

2018 12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 12

My final tag for this series is another prim looking tag. 

This prim tag was very quick and easy to complete.  Using the basic shapes library,  create 2 snowmen and add the facial features using the print2cut print feature.  Create 2 hats and the sentiment, cut using the print2cut print feature.  Add a little glossy accents to the eyes, a little white gel pen on the hats.  Place on the tea stained card base.  All pieces are cut using Sizzix' eclips2 and eCal3 software.   Add a bit of burlap ribbon, tied with a bit of twine. 

You'll need:
Sizzix eclips2 and eCal3 software
Cardstock (tea-stained and black, orange)
ink
blending tool
white gel pen
twine
burlap ribbon
glossy accents
adhesive

2018 12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 11

 

Today's prim angel is tag #11.

Using basic shapes create the angel and wings.  The heart is also from basic shapes.  Cut the angel, wings and tag base using some tea-stained cardstock.  Emboss the wings, add some mica and metallic rubs to the wings.  Wrap a bit of twine around the head for a halo.  Add a knotted piece of twine for the arms and glue a prim heart on the knotted "arms."  Create your sentiment using a script font.  Add a shadow layer and cut.  Add some bling -- and spritz some mica over all.

Sizzix eclips2 and eCal3
cardstock (white and tea-stained)

2018 12 Tags of Christmas - Tag 10

I've always enjoyed having a few prim accents around the house for the holidays.  This year is no exception.  My Père Noël was a fun tag to create. 

Lots of basic shapes from the Basic Shapes library were used to make this tag.  The base is cut on a tea stained piece of cardstock. I used Spectrum Noir markers and the eBrush for the deep and vivid colors on this tag.  Wrap a bit of twine and knot in the front.  Add a little sparkle with some mica and the star was made using a soda can, die and the BigShot. 

Create the Pere Noel using the print2cut print feature, add a blackout shadow (contour cut) selecting the print2cut outline.  Makes for a quick title.

You'll need:
cardstock
Sizzix eclips2 and eCal3
eBrush with SN adapter
Spectrum Noir
soda can
star die
Big Shot
pop dots
adhesive/glue
unbleached cheesecloth
twine

Thanks for stopping by again today!  Hope you have some creative time penned into your week!  Happy Crafting!
