I thought this week I would featured some holiday items from the new Holiday Mini catalog: Christmas Cocoa Specialty Paper as well as the new Ornament punch. And what’s the holiday without a little sparkle! Dazzling Diamonds were used in addition to the Icicle Rub-ons. Silver cord was used to top and hang the ornaments.
So first, I cut a 5-1/4 x 10-1/2 piece of Soft Suede (but Close to Cocoa could have been used as well as Chocolate Chip) and scored in half. Then cut a patterned pieceof paper from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty paper collection.
Next I placed a few snowflakes (rub-ons) towards the top of the thin-striped patterened paper, and then border rub-ons at the bottom. I used the Two-Way Glue Pen to then adhere Dazzling Diamonds to the snowflakes.
Lastly, I punched three ornaments from different papers in the Christmas Cocoa pack, punch a whole a the top of the ornament to tie a bow, laid the string (silver cord) which will appear linked to each ornament, and then adhered each ornament using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Other Suggestions:
- Try White Embossing Powder.
- Add a greeting.
- Stamp snowflakes using the Serene Snowflake stamp set or use the new wheels in the Holiday Mini Catalog.
- Use the Merry & Bright rub-ons collection with the ornaments.
I am making these notecards in sets of 10 with matching envelopes to give my family members. These are very easy to make as they are flat cards. You add your note on the bottom part of the card and insert it in the matching envelope. The main reason these are great is because you can use all of your scrap pieces of cardstock to make most of the card bling. The old olive piece is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" and the whisper white piece is 4-1/8" x 5-3/8". You can then add your thank you bling based on what you have available. I’ll be posting more Christmas Thank You Notes soon.
