Welcome back to another Fabulous Friday - this week on the Sisters in Stamping blog we are focusing on holiday decor projects. I decided to alter a picture frame that I had picked up at a big box store using my Big Shot and punches. I left the picture mat in the frame and put a piece of 12" x 5" piece of Real Red DSP from the Brights stack behind it.
This cute Santa punch art is something I CASE'd from the fabulous Patty Bennett. Instead of a pom pom I decided to use one of the Mini Jingle Bells from the Holiday Mini. I added some white dots around the scallop square mat with a white uni-Ball Signo gel pen - it mimics the polka dots on the DSP. There are various punches and the Big Shot involved with this punch art... I taught my Card of the Month club this technique on one of their cards last month and they loved it!
I just love the silver glimmer paper from the Holiday Mini... will it stick around? I don't know, so I am buying some now while I can! The Holiday Mini ends on January 3rd... if you want to order some be sure and do so before then. I cut out the letters using the Big Shot and the Timeless Type Junior alphabet sizzlits for the "Ho Ho Ho."
Lastly, I wanted to use some of my striped ribbon so pulled out the Wild Wasabi ribbon and tied a fork bow to stick on the corner of the frame. I like the way this turned out and it came together so quickly and easily! The punch art was a little time consuming, but you could make several of these in a couple of hours as gifts.
Thanks for stopping by! For more inspiration on holiday decor, please be sure and visit the Sisters in Stamping blog after Noon EST today. Have a wonderful weekend! I'll be sharing the shoe box swap cards that my team designed at our meeting earlier this month over the next few days so please come back for some non-Holiday inspiration.
This is so cute!!!! You did a great job. May have to make one myself.......
