Hello Friends! It's the 5th of the month and that means it's time for another fun blog hop with the Craft Hoarders. If you are following along on the hop, you will have come from Gloria Stengel's blog. If not, you might want to go back and start from there! Today I have a Christmas home decor piece that I created using my Silhouette Cameo. Now I know that we are supposed to use up our hoarded supplies but my Silhouette Cameo is just sitting here gathering dust! It's in my hoard, right? Here is my project.....
To create the star, I downloaded a 3d star svg file from the Silhouette Online Store. I resized the star to use an entire 12 x 12 piece of paper. I cut the base of the star from Kraft cardstock. The patterned paper comes from the Heartfelt Creation Sparkling Poinsettia Collection. I also used the poinsettia stamps and matching dies to create my flowers from that same collection. I stamped the poinsettias in Versamark ink onto red cardstock and sprinkled on some Ranger Gold Embossing powder. After I heat set the powder, I die cut the flowers using the matching dies and got busy shaping them and layering them. Here is a close-up.....
This is going to be a star to hang on my wall next to my Christmas tree. My hubby is going to add some string so I can hang all our Christmas cards underneath the star. I will post pictures of it when it's all done. I think this will be a great way to display our Christmas cards!
Now it's time for you to hop on over to Ginny Nemchak's blog and see her beautiful project!!
OK, so I had to go around my elbow to get to my ear to get here, but it was worth the trip! LOL This is sooooo beautiful, Debbie! The gold embossing, the pretty neutral background paper and the gorgeous leaves...just perfection. Simple, elegant and gorgeous!
