Elf party (for Lawn Fawn)

Hi there!

Last week, I put together a little hot chocolate night for all of the little cousins, using stamps and dies from Lawn Fawn to decorate.



We're still using our handmade elf, and he was the star of this show. I made a little sign for him to hold, and stuck him into a Christmas wreath.



The cutest part of the party decorations was this elf banner! I made it using a mix of dies from Lawn Fawn and stamped the face (from Let's Toast.)

25 days of Christmas Tags (Lawn Fawn)

Hi there!

I'm thrilled to be participating in Tracey Mcneely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags again this year!

There are sponsors for every day of the event, and today's sponsor is Lawn Fawn.



I used a Stitched Circle Tag for my tag base, and created a penguin using Woodland Critter Hugger Dies and the Woodland Critter Hugger Winter Add-Ons dies.

I used the belly die from the Woodland Critter die set to create the body of my penguin, and again the tip of that same belly die to create his belly. The rest is more straightforward! The Santa hat fits perfectly onto his head and the holly-and-berry accent at the top of the tag adds a cute final touch.

I scattered white enamel dots all around to look like falling snow.

I hope you like it! Be sure to visit Tracey's blog this morning for a list of participating designers - click!

Snowman party (for Lawn Fawn )

Hi there!

I'm here and on the Lawn Fawn blog this morning, with some fun ideas for a Christmas snowman party.

It just started snowing here last week, so I am definitely in the mood for all the holiday things!



I went with a red and green color scheme - it is so bright and cheerful!



The banner was created using the String of Lights dies, and I added glossy accents to each one so they really shine! I strung them up onto some Peppermint Cord. To keep the lights facing forward, I added a loop of twine to each light, securing it in the back with some tape.



I created little favor gifts using the Tiny Gift Box die and topped them with red bows using the dies from Gift Box.



The green argyle patterned paper is so cozy! And they looks so pretty, all in a row.

It's really hard to tell from the photos, but I iced the cake in rows of vertical waves and then threw some clear sanding sugar onto the entire cake. It looks like freshly-fallen snow. It really sparkles!

To create the snowmen, I used 2 circle dies and accessories from both Woodland Critter Huggers and Woodland Critter Hugger Winter Add-Ons.

I just think they are adorable! I got the idea from Yainea, who inspired me with her card last week.



To dress up the milk bottles, I cut some snowflake patterned paper and wrapped it to cover the bottom half of the bottles. Then, I dangled little mittens from more Peppermint Cord.

I used a white gel pen to trace the snowflake pattern on the front of each mitten. It looks like a stitched snowflake!

I hope this starts your wheels turning for your own holiday parties! Thanks for stopping by!

Woodland critter huggers (Lawn Fawn sneak peek week)

Hi there!

Lawn Fawn is showing off their Fall/Winter release all week long! Everything shown this week will be for sale at the end of August.

Today, I'm showing off a set of add-on dies for the Woodland Critter Huggers. The Woodland Critter Huggers Winter Add-On set includes mittens, a scarf, a santa hat, and earmuffs!

I've used a good number of them on this card:

I made a little reindeer treat hugger, and gave him a piece of dark chocolate to hold. I love a card and a treat all in one!



I added a scarf, the santa hat and a pair of mittens to the reindeer. Little white gel pen accents help everything really pop!



At his feet, I placed extra die-cuts from the set: the present, the little mug filled with whipped cream and the candy cane. I love how these dies were designed! For the present, I die-cut the box in white and the little ribbon in red. They fit together perfectly. Likewise, the candy cane is 2 dies - one for the white and one for the red part. And the mug has a slit in the top, so that the whipped cream can slide in.

I hope you like what I've made today, and be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for so many more new product reveals - CLICK!
