  Select Month March 2010 January 2010 December 2009 November 2009 October 2009 September 2009 August 2009 July 2009 June 2009 May 2009 April 2009 March 2009 February 2009 January 2009 December 2008 November 2008 October 2008 September 2008 August 2008

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.
